    I’m still driving a 2010 Versa equipped with one of their last automatic transmissions and it’s going strong. They used to have great affordably priced cars up until they introduced their horrendous CVTs. I’ve never been so disappointed with their offerings until test driving an Altima equipped with one. If you’re not consistent with maintenance on the thing it’ll end up costing you thousands of dollars to replace later. Add on the case that they made their vehicles the worst rated car for privacy by Mozilla (which is really saying something) and now you have a company that became very irrelevant in the 2010s onward.

    It’s sad a car company with such a great legacy might end up going away, but they brought this upon themselves by cutting corners in production costs, raising their prices beyond what’s reasonable, and selling out their customer’s privacy for an easy buck.
