I'm thinking of buying my first brand new car soon, and I'm kinda gravitating towards getting a Nissan.

While I'm going my research and asking around, I thought I could drop by here and seek input from the knowledgeable people of this sub-forum.

1) As a brand, how are Nissan's cars viewed at in terms of reliability in Malaysia? Not as good, just so-so only. Parts also a rather expensive.

2) What about their after sales support and servicing? Is it decent? After sales service though is very good from Tan Chong. But like I said parts prices are expensive.

3) Overall, for the lower end segment, assuming I am fine with the looks and pricing is it fine to go with a Nissan or is there good reason I should be forgoing it and going for a Toyota/Honda?  personally, I would not buy any recent models of  Nissan, at least not in the near future because of not so good reliability and expensive parts. For newer cars, I'd rather buy other Japanese brands.

Thanks!
