Who would you say makes the most well rounded cars right now? By well rounded, i mean a consistent combination of style, reliability, features, and bang for your buck. (andrew.masto.host)

There is no answer for that kind of question, is there? It all depends what you want and what you like.

Let me give you an example. I have a very cheap small Nissan. It has zero features. Well, it has A/C and power windows, which were considered "features" half a century ago. It doesn't look stylish, but you could say that it's cute if you're feeling sympathetic. It's flimsy enough that you wouldn't want to wreck in it. It has great gas mileage, and it fits my needs perfectly.

But is this car good for you? Probably not, because you have different needs. A small car with no safety features would be terrible for a large family. Do you need cruise control for your long commune? If so, you don't want my car. Do you drive in snowy mountains? This isn't the vehicle for that. What is "stylish" to you? Do you mean "cute" or "strong" or "smooth" or "futuristic", or something else?

Nissan makes all kinds of cars. Even if the above car sound suitable or unsuitable for you, that wouldn't give you much information about the Nissan lineup as a whole. They make all kinds of cars with all kinds of characteristics.

In other words, if you can provide more details of your situation (within reason, of course), that would be helpful. Have fun shopping!
