Also - don't neglect to do some resale value research. Nissan consitently trails Honda in that category too. What happens is you'll pay as much or more when new for an equivalent Nissan, but then after 4 years the re-sale value of the Nissan is at least $1500 to $2000 under the Honda. I did this little study on my old 2003 Maxima (which I had to practically give away to get rid of) and a 2003Accord EX-L at equal mileage, according to KBB and NADA.
