transmission went out at 80000 miles and after that things starts to die, the engines are hard to work on yourself to where you have to take in to the mechanic instead of being able to fix a quick simple thing yourself. In 2018 i spent over $6,000 to fix my car, the car is only worth 13,000

No malfunction lights...but cannot pass emission

I have just returned from the Nissan Dealership to diagnose a failed emissions. My o2 sensor is not reading as ready and there is not apparent reason for this. The process to get it review/repaired and passed is beginning to not be worth the cost. I love this car, but I was advised that this model has some insane drive cycle requirements. Getting it passed and THEN getting it registered is beginning to not be worth the value of the vehicle. It was good for the short while I had the vehicle.

I've had this car for 5 years. Had to already get a new transmission 2 years ago, had so much maintenance and repairs worked on it, to where it added up to 7,000$ more than it was worth just on repairs within 5 years of owning it. Luckily the Transmission was under warranty. Good starter car though, Slow and hesitant acceleration, especially on the high way.

I bought my 2015 Versa Note as Certified Pre Owned in 2017. In those 8 years, apart from routine maintenance all I replaced were the sway bars and control arms in the front suspension. Part of maintenance includes CVT fluid changed every 30K miles. My best mpg was 43 and 30 is avg (city & highway). I don't really need a truck for hauling but it's sure nice to have the cavernous hatch when I need it. I'm approaching 90,000 miles having bought it with 30,000 miles.
