Unreliable junk. Tow truck drivers love them. Nuff said.

@Mod_Man On this same topic, I saw a Nissan on the side of the road today, So I pulled over to help, 2013 Sentra, 103k miles. Had reverse, no forward gears. I played around with it, got it to finally engage, soon as I hit the gas it went right back out. She had that custom model with three neutrals.

Ahhhhhh yes I know that model. Laugh

What years? Anything 2010+ no they are absolutely garbage, 2000-mid 2000s they are OK at best, <1999 they are good cars and were relatively reliable but now they are so old you shouldn't expect much out of them. As far as modern cars go, they aren't reliable and the transmission will mechanically total the car right after the warranty expires.

Understood, you think the honda civic's 2010+ are reliable? Can you give me any options of cars that are reliable from 2012+? Thx!

Toyota Corollas are good reliable cars, 2010-2016 years for example. Honda Civics are good cars as well, best years are 2009-2011, and newer ones it would be 2016+ with the 2.0 engines. If you want luxury car there is the Lexus ES/GS. Make sure to check out the "I need to buy a vehicle" section in the FAQ. You can find years to avoid there, and give carcomplaints.com a look to see which years to stay away from. There are lots of good cars out there, depends on what you want. Just A to B, then get a Toyota Corolla. Want a little more sportiness? Then a Honda Civic. With more money you might also consider 2015-2017 Toyota Camry but whatever you buy make sure to have a mechanic check it out and make sure it was maintained.

Got it, thank u very much, much needed!

Last question, what about a 2013 nissian rogue s sport?

I would avoid it. In fact, forget about any Nissan with an automatic transmission. Generally they go out around 100k miles, and the cost to replace/rebuild is easily 5-7 grand, basically what its worth.basically don't buy a Nissan if you want more than 100k miles out of a car.

Oh wow, thank you very much, you just saved my pocket.
