Replying to: jacksan1 (Feb 21, 2009 10:12 am) Thanks jacksan1 for the feed back. Great that the Cube is built in Japan. Just as a follow-up : What are some of the specific QC or reliability weaknesses in the Versa that have been ID'd by the auto media and owners that could pop-up in the Cube if they share the same engine (and whatever other components) that I should weigh in my buying decision? I realize the Cube isn't even here yet in NA but would still appreciate advice / perspective. Thanks. Replies to this message: jacksan1 (Feb 24, 2009 10:58 am)

Replying to: johnxyz (Feb 23, 2009 7:33 am) The Tiida in Japan has been very reliable. The Versa has been average to somewhat below average in this department. My theory is that the problem lies with the assembly plant (including sourcing of components), and not with the engineering of the car. Aguascalientes, where the Versa is being built, does have an unfortunate record of producing poorly built Nissans in the past. If my theory holds, then the Cube, that is being built in Japan, should be just fine as far as the reliability is concerned.
