I know this is going to be hard for people to take into account when help me out, not being sarcastic or anything about that. I'm not concerned about their speed - long as they've got enough power for me to downshift a gear and get out of a bad situation or pass some granny - and I'm also not worried about their handling, because they're uber drift cars if all else fails, yo

I actually think they look decent, as far as imports go, and I really like the fact that they're RWD, I don't think I'll ever own a FWD car again. I'm most concerned about their reliability and whatnot as asked in the original post. Know of another (hopefully) reliable model thats RWD and damn good on gas (and not some late model 80s Corolla or the like)? Please, by all means let me know and I'll explore that, too. But it just seems to me that Nissan is a good name.
