2006 Nissan Pixo reviews

Nissan Pixo 2006

I pray that anyone reading this, who is thinking about buying this car take a strong warning and look else where (ie: buy a different car). I also hope that Nissan reads this and learns from it’s customer. I bought this car for a whopping 8/9k (what I sad fool I am) This is an extremely poorly built car. The windshield freezes up in winter on the INSIDE. I’m just talking about a small amount of ice on the inside (that a rag will wipe away), but a mass of thick ice that can only be cleared with de-icer chemical (imagine that on the interior and dash) or by using a plastic scrapper (again, leaving the dash covered in snow-like powder). It takes me on average 30 to 35 minutes before being able to drive off for any journey. It is VERY clear that the quality windscreen and surrounding door ceils are very poor. On whole the car is badly insulated. Various lights including the indicators and reversing lights stop for periods of time and upon investigation; this looks to be a case of water fuseing out the lights due to the poor quality wires and poor quaility housing used. On the rear light clusters; naked wires can be seen at the point of where the wire hits the bulb connector holders (so bear wires and condensation do not go together well). Nissan are useless in resolving this and seem only bothered in offering me another "health support check" - which is their excuse for trying to make me feel better and look over the car. After the health check; all is ok for about 5 weeks - until things work there way loose again through the daily driving. The roads in the UK just shake this car to bits. I’ve had SIX health visits. Crazy !! As for the foot shower- yes ! several times. I am now also get crackling and knocking noises from various parts of the car which are starting to concern me. Avoid this car. For the money you can easily buy something else brand new, which is of far better build. Mazda, Kia, Toyota, etc, etc.. I feel stupid for buying this car !!! What must I have been thinking?? Nissan’s false promises! AVOID !!!!!!
