2013: Honda vs Toyota vs Nissan?

For getting a 2390 on my SAT, my parents are rewarding me with a new car. I was looking at cars and at first I wanted a Honda Sedan Civic EX with Navigation System because it was cheap and I really liked the civc. Then, my mom said that it's too small and I won't like it when I get into college. She wants me to get a Toyota Camry LE with Navigation System, but I personally don't like it. Finally, I settled with the Nissan Altima Sedan SV with Navigation Package. Again, my mom tells me that Nissan cars causes "problems", but we never owned a Nissan car. Only Toyota and Lexus (which is basically the same company).So is my mom right about the Nissan causing problems? Because I really liked the Nissan Altima Sedan. Or can you guys suggest any other cars?

Features that I want:
-Navigation System
-Smart Key with Push button start
-USB connection port for iPod/iPhone

Optional:
-Leather seats

Get something German. You'll never look back at those with just one test drive. Can't afford it? Get a VW.

Choose the iconic Toyota Corolla
