What Nissan has to offer?

tschatzinger

Hi Everyone,

I do not actually own a Nissan, but I am a long time car enthusiast. I'm working on a project regarding Nissan, and was wondering if you all could give me some of your opinions about the brand. I know this is specifically a 370Z forum, but I'm sure you all are knowledgable about Nissan as a whole. Because I've never spent time on these forums, I don't have nearly enough knowledge about the brand as you all do, so you're the experts in my eyes.

Anyways, what's a main benefit that Nissan offers (the brand overall - and possibly just one car compared to others) over its competitors?

And is there any benefit Nissan has that its competition doesn't?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a bunch!

What information are you looking to get?

Looking to find one main benefit Nissan has that other cars don't. Safety, reliability, maintenance, perks, etc. I saw a commercial that showed how the Versa has more legroom than any other compact on the market. Stuff like that.

And are there any benefits that Nissan could offer to reach out to more consumers?

Nissan offers a 370Z. No other manufacturer does.

I have owned several Nissan vehicles over the years. Nissan consistently offers a better product as far as performance and perks for the price compared to other manufacturers in comparable price range.

Yep, this is the only reason I chose Nissan.

The 370Z is the reason I own a Nissan...
I have also owned an Infiniti, which is a Nissan.

My only basis for comparison (as far as ownership) is Chevy, Ford, Honda, and Audi. Nissan's fit and finish is far superior to that of any Chevy or Ford I have ever owned, driven, or experienced (I have had quite a few). The domestic vehicles (IMO) are more gimmicky in their styling and the interiors are lackluster (lame design, rattling, uneven spaces between panels, etc.).

The Honda I own has been very dependable but the styling, inside and out, is nothing to write home about.

Audi's fit and finish is superior to Nissan's (including Infiniti). Both the Audi and Nissan have outstanding performance, but the Nissan wins in the value department... Audi's are great, but overpriced.

Just check the history of Datsun/Nissan as a whole and the heritage of especially the Z brand compare to other Japanese manufactures like Toyota and Mazda.

I believe that Nissan has more models to offer than other car manufactures. To compare reliabilty and other issues some magazines and companies like Edmunds go by like how many times that model goes to the dealer for the same issue. They also do long term testing of some models, etc.

It is a good Research Project if that is what are you doing.

BTW, I'm taking a class this semester but is for Research Methods for Aviation/Aerospace.

Nissan offers the 370z and GTR. Nuff said.

After a bad experience with my '08 Honda Accord, I decided that I'd never buy a Honda again. From what I can tell Nissan is the Honda of old in the quality department. So I wanted to buy a Nissan or Infinity and just so happened to end up with the 370z.

I am a happy man.

I think the GT-R is a good car you can use to show Nissan's value driven business model. It was produced to have better performance than sports cars 3 or 4 times its price.
