2023 Nissan Z: Really Good… But Not Great
/

0comments
The 2023 Nissan Z is a car that’s been a long time coming. This latest evolution of the Z car isn’t a complete revelation, however, as it’s more a massive improvement over the 370Z it replaces. This makes it a good car, but not a great one. [Disclaimer: Nissan tossed me the keys to the…

The 2022 Nissan Frontier Pro-4X is one damn-fine truck! Nissan has taken its aged machine and instantly made it competitive in the segment. How? By refreshing the outside, massively improving the inside, pairing a 9-speed gearbox with a 310-horsepower V6, and prepping it for fun. This is one great mid-size truck, especially when it’s wearing…

I’m not a Toyota Tacoma fan. Let’s get that out of the way from the jump. I appreciate the strong sales figures and customer loyalty. The truck has amazing ability in both TRD Off-Road and TRD Pro trims. But it’s also the most uncomfortable production vehicle on sale today, and it needs to evolve. Especially…

Quick Spin: 2019 Nissan Maxima and Murano

There are two cars in Nissan’s lineup that are slightly different from the others. First is the Maxima, a slightly bigger vehicle than the Altima. The second is the Nissan Murano, which fits between the high-volume Rogue and the three-row Pathfinder. Both vehicles seem somewhat redundant in the lineup and both, to me, seem somewhat…

This week we’ve got the 2019 Nissan Titan in for review. Nissan’s entry into the fiercely competitive full-size pickup battlefield arrived for the 2004 model year and sat dormant without much of a substantial makeover for more than a decade. The Titan then took 2016 off and hid in hiatus before coming back for the…

The full-size pickup truck market is the highest grossing and most competitive of all North American vehicle segments. The big three have been competing against each for almost a century. To show just how competitive this market is and how much brand loyalty there is in, Toyota and Nissan have been offering their versions of…

2019 Nissan Kicks: How To Turn This Whole Thing Around

Nissan’s new Kicks compact ute is a back-to-basics conveyance. It delivers reasonable size, driving character, quirky style, and fuel economy without any kind of whizbang trickery. This isn’t a hybrid, there’s no turbocharger, no variable displacement, no slick compression ignition. It’s a small displacement traditional four-cylinder engine with modest but workable horsepower mated to a…

New cars are expensive, guys. Recently the average price of a new car has ballooned to nearly $35,000, with the average monthly payment cresting $500. Every time I review a new car, even though they continue to get better with each passing year, I can’t imagine putting that kind of money down for transportation. I…

Review: 2017 Nissan Titan XD PRO-4X with Cummins Power

Nissan’s new Titan comes in two sizes: half-ton and almost three-quarter ton, call it five-eighths ton. I reviewed the half-ton Titan last summer and while I liked it I did not think there was anything revolutionary about it – it was just another pickup. The Titan XD changes that with its unique size and the…

Save the manuals, they say! I’d buy it if it was stick, they scream! I would buy the stick model if it came with power blah and leather blah! I would buy it, but it doesn’t have a turbo! I would buy it, but the price is too damn high! Well, Nissan just took all…
