I dreamed of my Sentra
In 1989, when I was only a toddler, my single and working mother went to her long-time friend and trusted mechanic to ask him to recommend a car for her. "What kind of car would you want your sister and her baby to ride around in?" He immediately told her that Nissan was a great car and suggested she look into the Sentra. Several days later, my mother bought her (slightly used) Nissan Sentra. Growing up, we drove that car all over the country, from New Orleans to Maine and back, Kentucky to Pennsylvania, and out to Illinois. When I turned 16 and got my driver's license, my gift was that Sentra. When I went to college, I took the Sentra with me (and it got me home on the weekends my whole first semester). In the middle of my sophomore year in college I moved to Scotland to study abroad. For weeks I dreamed of my Sentra (mostly because I had to adjust to walking everywhere in the cold). Dubbed the "Frankensentra" because of the numerous spare parts that were amalgamated into it, my car was a part of my family. In the Spring of my senior year in college, with almost 20 years and 180,000 miles on it, my poor Frankensentra turned over for the last time and it was retired (with two busted CV axles and a bent frame) to a salvage yard near my university. I was given $100 from a friend that I had grown up with and it almost made me cry. But almost immediately I had to think about buying a new car. Like my mother, I went to my own trusted mechanic who had kept my Frankensentra running through my college career, and asked him the same question my mother asked her mechanic 20 years earlier. He sent me to the nearest Nissan dealership where I found my family member, a 2008, 270 horsepower, 6 speed, Regal Blue Nissan Altima. Since I purchased my Newssan I have been delighted by it's style and performance! Hopefully I'll be able to pass a Nissan down to my children one day, since the Frankensentra kept me safe for so many years and my Newssan seems to be headed in the same direction. Thanks Nissan!!

I can't imagine a world without the Micra
The Micra - the ultimate granny mobile. Lots of Lovemarks here are very much focused on aesthetics and their visual appeal. However, the Micra is bland, uninspiring and boring. I think it should be uplifted to the status of Lovemark for grannys all over the world. It is their Lovemark. It is their Bugatti Veyron. It’s cheap, green and economical to run. There’s no way I would drive one but everytime I overtake one I can’t help but smile as I look at it dissapear in my rearview mirror. I can’t imagine a world without the Micra.

Quality design thats fun to drive
I was in love with Nissan since I drove my roomates 510 back in 1990. I purchased a '71 240 Z a few years later and still have it ...18 years now and it's still a blast to drive. From my new {athfinder to my wife's Maxima...they've always produced quality design thats fun to drive.

Reliable, economical and troublefree
I just love Nissan Cars. My first car was a Nissan 120Y sunny which I had for 3 years and had no problems. My next one was a 1980 Nissan Bluebird Estate 1.8 GL which I used for 16 years without any problems until someone stole it. It still had a lot of life in it. My present car is a 1997 Nissan Primera 2.0 SLX and I have had no breakdown problems. My son uses a Nissan Micra. My Nissan cars have all been reliable, economical and troublefree.

Just look at the owners chatroom
The Nissan Figaro is just about the most beautiful car that has ever existed! Its the cutest little 50s inspired thing on the road - and limited edition, so faithful (relatively) in its LOVE! Just look at the owners chatroom to see the passion that it inspires.

Ergonomics icarnate
What is there not to love about the Nissan Product. . ? I have owned FIVE Nissan Vehicles. These were 2-Sentras, 1-Pick-up, and 2-Altimas. Currently, I am waiting for my most recent Altima, a 1998, to be repaired from an accident. I have no doubt that it will be right back, working hard again. I am completely sold on this product. I have been thoroughly satisfied with all of the foregoing Nissan models I have owned. The feel of the seats, the aesthetic values of all of the buttons, knobs, and accessories are ergonomics incarnate. Add to that the workhorse of an engine and powertrain in all of their products and you have the "ying/yang" of the auto industry.

My first choice
I drive a Nissan 1991 NX Couple now, it's really good with twin cam engine and spacious hatchback. If next time I am thinking of purchasing another one, Nissan will be my first choice.

The Sentrality of Nissan
My first Nissan was a 1972 Datsun 510. My current is a '93 Sentra and a '97 Quest. In between were several Nissans as well as some other brands (which I hated). My most notable Nissan was a 1985 Sentra wagon which never saw a wrench for 150,000km. Our driveway also contains my sons' 91 Sentra and '95 Sentra. Nuff said!

A passionate embrace
The Z, that is all you need to call it. It is an inspiration, a passionate embrace of power, beauty, grace & sensuality. A Porsche is blatant 'wham-bang-thankyou maam', but the Nissan 350Z Fairlady is sensuality, and the promise of unending excitement, loyalty and absolute intimacy.
