Which is the most reliable pre-owned car? Nissan makes sure to inspect used cars and to provide a certified car. By the end of this article, you’ll understand what makes Nissan a reliable car manufacturer, both in terms of new and used cars.
What does a Nissan certification imply regarding inspections? That’s what your Alma Nissan dealership will explain today.
To get the Nissan pre-owned car certification, a vehicle must pass the 169-point inspection. Done by a Nissan technician, it ensures that your next car’s components are in good working condition.
This inspection process covers all the following elements:
| Interior/Bodywork | Mechanical |
| Airbags Seatbelts Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems Rust Doors and windows Body panels Lighting | Chassis Tires and rims Engine bloc Cruise control Fuel system Electric components Suspension Steering Brakes and shackles Exhaust Ignition system Battery Engine compartment |
A certified used Nissan vehicle is also taken for a test drive to confirm that it works properly. If recalls were made for a particular modal, the necessary updates will be made if not done prior.
You’ll also always have access to the CARFAX Canada vehicle history report. The report provides details regarding the number of owners and accidents, if any.
For a reliable used car, Nissan is on a mission to inspect theirs before resale.
We often say that what makes the difference between a used car and a new one is the presence of warranties.
Just know that you’re also entitled to some warranties for a certified used Nissan vehicle! You’ll benefit from the Nissan reliability with a vehicle that has a good quality-price ratio.
The Car Guide acclaims the strengths of the former Nissan Rogue generation, introduced in 2014:
“Exclusively equipped with a 2.5-litre four-cylinder with 170 horsepower, the Rogue offers attractive comfort, a spacious interior, great versatility and an excellent quality-price ratio.”
Your certified pre-owned Nissan vehicle benefits from these advantages:
The Platinum protection program extends the car warranty for 72 months or 120,000 km, going as far as 96 months or 200,000 km! A 10 days or 1,500 km exchange policy also covers the vehicle.
For all information regarding the warranty, ask your Nissan dealership.
You also get the roadside assistance included in the 72 months or 120,000 km on the drivetrain limited warranty. Need assistance for a flat tire? And if you’re out of gas or your battery died? Nissan roadside assistance is there for you!
You won’t miss out on the reliability of Nissan brand cars with inspected, tested and affordable pre-owned vehicles!
Nissan roadside assistance also takes care of renting a courtesy vehicle for 10 days. However, note that the rental is taken care of if the vehicle is at the dealership for repairs covered by your warranty.
Buying a certified pre-owned vehicle is an interesting choice! Auto123 tells us the advantages of buying a certified car:
“Buying a certified pre-owned vehicle usually means you are assured of acquiring a model that is newer, in better condition, better protected by warranty and likely to have a better resale value down the road.”

With new cars displaying higher prices, used cars are a sensible choice for many consumers who can benefit from vehicle depreciation. With a vast array of options on the market, it can be challenging to make the perfect choice that balances emotion and reason. Your needs, budget, as well as the brand and the driving feel of a vehicle, are among the criteria to consider.
It’s well-known that small cars are more suited to urban drivers, while minivans cater to large families needing space. Where do you fit between these two? First, determine the size you need if you have a family, but also consider your short to medium-term future needs. If you plan to start or expand your family, think about it now to avoid having to change vehicles again soon!
Your driving habits also play a role in your needs. Some cars are ideal for city driving, others for towing loads, and others for off-road driving. What is your driver profile?
When buying a used vehicle, a driver who travels a lot naturally opts for a car with the least mileage possible on the odometer. If it involves short daily trips, this factor is less important.
When discussing budget, the initial cost of the car comes to mind. Whether you have savings or opt for financing, the upfront cost or monthly payments are a crucial criterion.
However, it’s important to consider various aspects that will increase your expenses to varying degrees. For instance, maintenance and the cost of parts vary from one model or brand to another. Also, consider factors like tires, which wear out and often need to be replaced. Carl Nadeau, new official columnist for L’Ami Junior, confirms:
“Different tire sizes will influence the price. If you buy a vehicle with 20-inch tires, it’s going to cost much more than a subcompact with 15 or 16-inch tires.”
This is a detail not to be overlooked and should be factored into your maintenance budget. Finally, fuel consumption remains a characteristic that significantly fluctuates your monthly expenses. If you are on a tighter budget, this is an aspect you cannot afford to ignore, just like the cost of insurance.
Before finalizing your choice on a used car, sitting in it and driving it is the least you can do. Take the time to:
Of course, priorities vary from one driver to another: the important thing is to find the used car that suits you!
Do you have a preference for a particular brand? Are you looking for a car with a leather interior? Whatever your preferences, choose a car that brings you joy.

Without a doubt, subcompact SUVs are gaining in popularity and are the most popular category in 2021; they are efficient, robust and durable. When it comes to making the right choice for a new or pre-owned vehicle, it’s important to focus on the right criteria, such as value, reliability and overall performance.
Among the 19 subcompact SUV models on the North American market, five models stand out from the rest and knowing this will help you make an informed choice.
THE 2021 NISSAN QASHQAI
The Nissan Qashqai review often points out its qualities such as:
Nissan Qashqai price make it stand out from the rest, it is more affordable to buy or lease than its rivals. It thus wins the prize for low cost of ownership. Even more, the Nissan Qashqai interior offers plenty of space.
For 2021, the Nissan Qashqai features an even sportier and bolder look with 19-inch all-black alloy rims, smoked headlights and taillights, and several black trims.
The 2021 Qashqai also offers many advanced technologies included as standard, such as the ProPILOT Assist driver assistance system that monitors highway driving and helps to:
THE 2021 MITSUBISHI RVR
Like the Nissan Qashqai, but also other Nissan products, such as the unbeatable priced 2020 Nissan Kicks and the 2021 Nissan Rogue for example, the Mitsubishi RVR SUV is reliable, but sports a squarer, less trendy look. We also agree that the RVR 2021 is much less fuel efficient than the 2021 Nissan Qashqai (9.4 L/100 km vs. 8.4 L/100 km). In short, if it is a reliable SUV, the 2021 RVR is out of fashion and more expensive than its rival.
THE 2021 SUBARU CROSSTREK
With its above-average handling, the 2021 Subaru Crosstrek is a subcompact SUV that stands out for its reliability and durability. This model also offers good resale value, but it is considerably more expensive than the other two SUVs featured in this blog; the hybrid version costs close to $43,000 (before taxes).
Antoine Joubert goes so far as to write the following:
“[…], but let’s say that at $840 per month in financing over a five-year period (taxes and credit included), the relevance of the PHEV version is questionable
(Le Guide de l’auto 2021).
THE 2021 HYUNDAI KONA
At first glance, this attractive sport utility vehicle is available with a choice of gas and electric engines; it is reliable and is gaining popularity. On the other hand, the rear space is far from generous and you’ll have trouble getting a good view with the small rear window. Trunk volume is not comparable to that of the 2021 Nissan Qashqai with its 544 to 1297 liters. Finally, it’s important to note that the electric version is overpriced ($53,000).
THE 2021 HONDA HR-V
With its spacious interior and legendary Honda reliability, the 2021 HR-V SUV is versatile and loaded with modern features. It has a trendy look and compares easily to the 2021 Nissan Qashqai in terms of power (141 horsepower each), but has less torque, at only 127 lb-ft.
To help you compare the models, here is the Nissan Qashqai’s technical sheet:
| Features | 2021 Nissan Qashqai |
| Engine | 2.0 L 4-cylinder |
| Power/Torque | 141 horsepower/147 lb-ft |
| Consumption (L/100 km) | 8.6 (city) / 7.3 (highway) / 8 (combined) |
| Cargo capacity | 648 à 1 730 L |
The 2021 Nissan Qashqai stands out and distinguishes itself from the competition; it’s less expensive than the others, more economical, more reliable and offers more space than the other four SUVs. The only question that remains is which Qashqai model to choose?
To answer this question, you can rely on the expert advice of the Alma Nissan team, your used car dealer for sale in Lac-Saint-Jean, near Saint-Bruno. You can also consult the details online on the versions of the Nissan Qashqai Canada to choose your level of equipment!
There was a time when mid-size sedans were in high demand on the market. It was a popular category with a host of models that aspired to the top honours.
Today, the segment is less popular than it was, but it still generates a lot of attention because vehicles in it are consistently of excellent quality.
In fact, we’re looking at some gems. Whether it’s the Toyota Camry, the Honda Accord, the Kia K5, the Subaru Legacy or the Nissan Altima, you don’t make too many bad choices by opting for one from this quintet. However, the current generation of the 2021 Nissan Altima has a little je-ne-sais-quoi that makes it truly irresistible.
Let’s take a look at its strengths by comparing them with those of its four main rivals. You’ll quickly see why Nissan is ahead of the pack.
Speaking of a head start, Alma Nissan invites you to visit your Lac-Saint-Jean dealership near Saint-Bruno for its vast inventory and to buy or lease a new Nissan or a used Nissan. Now, here are some thoughts on the Altima.
It is always perilous to judge the style of one model and declare it superior to another, because all tastes are in nature. However, there are what we call consensuses. In the case of the Altima, the consensus is that the current generation is the best looking in history.
Beyond that, however, it also stands out from its rivals aesthetically. Up front, Nissan’s V-motion signature has more character than the Subaru Legacy’s grille, for example, or the Toyota Camry or Honda Accord’s twisted front ends. The Kia K5 also stands out advantageously, but you must like its more controversial lines.
It’s rare that we compare the seats of one model with those of other vehicles, because the comfort of a bucket seat can vary depending on our body type. However, with Nissan products, one element comes into play, namely the innovative design behind the seats.
In fact, the company refers to its seats as “zero-gravity” units. This refers to the space where gravity is non-existent. Thus, it is thanks to the technologies developed by NASA that Nissan found its inspiration to create its seats. Without going into details, these are super comfortable seats, and above all, seats where you won’t get tired, even after spending long hours behind the wheel.
You really have to try it out to understand the scope of the technology but enjoying a vehicle where the comfort of the seats is divine is priceless.
Needless to say, even though each of the Nissan Altima’s competitors offers comfortable seating, none of the other cars in the Top 5 that we’re interested in offer such welcoming seats.
With gas prices on the rise and always unpredictable, having a vehicle that is the most economical in its class is once again priceless. In this regard, the Altima offers an unbeatable fuel economy rating when compared to equivalent models from the competition.
On the highway, for example, it’s rated at 6.5L/100km, but you can do even better. Only the Honda Accord offers the same rating, but without the all-wheel drive that comes standard with the Altima; no need to tell you where the advantage lies.
Of the models in our Top 5 that offer all-wheel drive, namely the Toyota Camry, Kia K5 and Subaru Legacy, the 2021 Nissan Altima has the best combined rating, at 7.9L/100km. When it gets beaten, it’s because one of the rivals is front-wheel drive only.
We could go on and on, and even if it were only for driving pleasure, the Nissan Altima would have no trouble eclipsing its rivals. In short, it’s a winning compromise that Nissan offers with this vehicle. Take the time to book a road test at your Alma Nissan dealer to find out for yourself; you’ll realize just how much Nissan has done with the 2021 Altima sedan.
Innovation differently, and mobility beyond imagination begins at Nissan! That’s what makes us say that Japanese quality is omnipresent when it comes to building a Nissan. The 2020 new Sentra is one of the vehicles that will meet all your expectations. It’s agile, but also intuitive and cutting edge.
Alma Nissan in Lac-Saint-Jean introduces you to the 2020 new Nissan Sentra; yet it does so by highlighting its features and drawing a few parallels with the 2020 Hyundai Elantra.
While the pun may be amusing since both models end with an “A”, the fact remains that the 2020 eighth-generation Nissan Sentra has been completely redesigned and offers you plenty to look forward to. This car is very useful in the city and on the road, transforming the brand’s legendary compact sedan into a model that turns heads with unprecedented interior refinement, a standard Safety Shield 360 and high-performance connectivity.
The eighth-generation Nissan Sentra is based on a new platform with significantly improved proportions and posture: approximately 5 cm lower and 5 cm wider than the previous generation. The exterior incorporates Nissan’s latest design language found in other Nissan vehicles, including the iconic V-motion grille and LED headlights.
The interior of the 2020 Sentra is more refined and luxurious than the 2020 Hyundai Elantra, creating a high quality experience for both driver and passengers. Special attention has been paid to every detail to enhance the perceived and actual quality of the new Sentra. The feel of the steering wheel in the driver’s hands, the smooth operation of the dials and switches have been carefully designed to create a superior feel, something not found in the Elantra. Available features range from padded, leather-trimmed, heated front seats to heated outside mirrors, and from the famous NASA-inspired Zero Gravity seats to the intelligent Around View monitor. Infotainment and connectivity features include an 8-inch floating multi-touch centre screen and NissanConnect with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The 2020 Nissan Sentra is simply stunning.
The sedan also features a new fuel-efficient 2.0-litre 4-cylinder engine with 149 horsepower and 145 lb-ft of torque, up 20% and 16% respectively from the previous generation 1.8-litre engine, which is again superior to the Korean sedan’s 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque.
The Sentra compact car is available with either a manual transmission (6-speed manual) or a continuously variable automatic transmission. Why not equip it with stylish alloy wheels! In short, power and performance are at the rendezvous in this Japanese car that now offers you driving dynamics (intelligent traction and drive control) and economic efficiency.
But what sets the Sentra even more apart from the Elantra is its price. Not only does it cost less than its rival, it’s also built to a much higher standard. The Japanese know how to do the right things and only install high-quality materials. The 2020 Nissan Sentra is the purest example of this. Innovating differently is what Japanese engineers do. With unparalleled precision and a keen sense of detail, they achieve fabulous results.
