Nissan models don't usually hold their value quite as well as cars from more prestigious brands, but its 'niche' products - 4x4s, MPVs, sports cars - return much better residual values than the mainstream hatches.

Servicing and maintenance at Nissan dealers is well priced, and insurance premiums reasonable.
