Which 2010 Nissan models are most fuel-efficient?
The smaller sedans and compact cars typically lead in economy — think Versa, Sentra and the four-cylinder Altima — while crossovers and performance models trade mpg for space or power; check the MPG (city/hwy mpg) column in the list to compare real-world ratings and choose based on your driving mix.
Are parts and repairs for 2010 Nissans easy to source?
Yes — for common models, OEM and aftermarket parts are widely available and many mechanics are familiar with Nissan platforms; specialty models like the 370Z may require performance-specific parts or a specialist for certain services, so factor that into ownership costs.
