Thanks Red

For those who can't understand it I'm guessing for Nissan: Z touring = best and the Versa = worst.

**** my internet at work sucks.... :shakes head:

List seems pretty spot on imo

yah whoever designed that versa sedan needs to be removed from the planet.

Surprised to see the QX56 on there as worst from Infinity. I have rented them for business many times and have really liked the feel and features.

Nice to see the 370z best in something for a change but I still don't put a whole lot of stock in these kinds of articles. Seems more like fluff than a critical and objective rating of models. Next week they'll be telling us how much the Z sucks again.

Luv my G37 and 370Z and can relate to the article's message.

Its just like the Armada which its based on and the Titan, lots of issues. Those and the old Quest where the main culprits at putting Nissans reliability so low in recent years.

Consumer reports is always suspect.

When you list the STI as the most reliable Subaru, 135i as the most reliable BMW, Evo as the most reliable Mitsubishi...your methodology comes into question.

Positive or negative CR is full o shyt. As far as the 135 though. Reliability has increased a lot with the single twin scroll vs the TT. But to be top reliability??? I'd have to do that research myself.

So the sub-entry level inexpensive model is the worst? imagine that. I still like the versa for what it is.

Everyone loves CR when they say good things and throw a fit when they say bad things.

Human nature is funny.

For the price the Versa is a very good car and excellent MPG! Bought my daughter one and no complains so far. :tup:
