Nissan Road Test Reports And Car Reviews

Nissan X-Trail Diesel 136 Sport 2004

Avoid like the plague. Bought from new, 3 turbo’s down the line (1 under warranty) and now up to £2k plus for a new fuel pump. No more Nissan’s for me.

Nissan Micra 1.2 80PS Acenta Auto 2008

Reluctantly swapped much loved Cavalier (12yrs) to treat my wife but have fallen in love all over again - she is quiet, comfortable and responds beautifully (the car that is) - very impressed.

Nissan Navara 2007

Plenty of power without trailer. Very poor road holding and slides easily with a trailer. Even with a load in the trailer ride has been made more comfortable by putting in helper coil springs. It would be super if it had the Pathfinder suspension - already gone in for faulty brakes and an electrical upgrade - all warranty.

Nissan Note Tekna Auto 2008

Having just got the Note I think it is a very good car. We had a Mazda 3 before but it was unsuitable for my wife who is disabled. Having looked at various options we went for the Note. I fancied an automatic for a change; the change through the gears is very smooth - there is much more legroom than in the Mazda. I find it a very well finished car; a firm ride at low speed but it evens out on motorways. My wife has a electric scooter for mobility which fits easily into the boot with no problems. I had to dismantle it to fit into the Mazda. The Note is no sports car but is nippy and more than able to maintain motorway speeds with ease. All in all a very good car.

Nissan Primastar Primastar 2006

Well, my clutch has started slipping today at 38k. Having read other posts on the Vivaro & Trafic this seems to be the norm. The clutch and gearbox are not up to the job - had prices from £670-1k from the stealers for a replacement.

Nissan Terrano S+ 2005

This is my second Terrano, the first being a 1998 SE Touring. This car, although being a lower trim level, has everything the older SE Touring did except the roof bars and sunroof. Smoother and quieter, with the same old rattles it has plenty of pulling power for towing. A genuine high up drive it is excellent on the open fields I have to use it on and equally comfortable on the streets. Not the most modern feel but a genuine tough vehicle that does everything I want it to do. Excellent value for money, even though I think I paid a little more than I should have. Two annoying rattles. The centre arm rest/stowage box lid seems loose and of course, the exhaust. Exactly the same on this one as the other one. Overall? Great if you take it for what it is. An excellent value tough old bird!

Nissan X-Trail Columbia 2.2 CDi 2006

I purchased my pre-registered 2006 Colombia X Trail 2.2 cdi in July 2007 with delivery miles only. It came highly recommended and I believed the official MPG figures - big mistake! After 3000 miles I achieved 30 MPG at best. Nissan dealer and Nissan customer services said this was acceptable! I have now completed 22000 miles and average has gone up to 32 MPG. After a few weeks the rubber trim round both rear doors came away and the plastic studs were lost. Nissan dealer could only sell me the complete seal - £160.00 plus VAT per door! Nissan Customer service offered me a 10% discount. Local body shop obtained the plastic studs and fixed the seals - no charge! My first service cost £175.00 and the bill came with a £560.00 plus VAT list of extras (not under warranty) that I should have done. I took the car to a local garage and they agreed some of the items needed done but most did not and charged me £120.00 including VAT for the lot. If you buy, do not expect quality after sales back up or the economy figures they claim. By the way I have just sold mine!

Nissan Terrano 3.0 SVE 2002

Just bought my Terrano 3.0 SVE. Absolute bargain. Massive towing capabilities. Full leather, 7 seats. Love it! Bad points: wind noise; power steering pump a bit noisy as well. It will out-pull Disco’s, Trooper’s and Shogun’s. Top car for little money. This car cost me £3200 @ 50k miles - full service history. Top that!?

Nissan X-Trail Trek 2008

A great family car with plenty of goodies. Good on fuel and so far faultless.

Nissan Primastar 2004

I have had my Primastar for the past 2 years. It hasn’t missed a beat. The only problem I have found is it goes like stink some days and seems to be lugging on others. A lot of other people have said their vans are the same. I can’t really fault this van, it drives and handles perfect . I did have it super chipped as soon as I bought it, well worth the extra expense. Lovely van.

Nissan Pathfinder SE 25dCi 2005

Not as tough as they look.... I ran a pathfinder for 2 and a half years and 55,000 miles (it was 6 months old when we got it and had done 5000 miles). I’ve just p/x’d it as I couldn’t risk owning it out of warranty. In the last 6 months I owned it it spent 4 weeks at the dealer and I had to drive a Micra - not very useful if you have a large family. Things to watch - on a manual the clutch is suspect and early ones had problems with the flywheel (ours was replaced - clutch and flywheel - at 54,000 miles - paid for by Nissan). At 50,000 miles the the fuel plump, rails and injectors had to be replaced/refurbished (took garage 3 and a half weeks to sort) - this is also a common problem and damned expensive if out of cover. The other thing was that part of the exhaust system needed replacing and ATS etc can’t get parts so you have to buy the official Nissan bits (a 2 foot front pipe was £275!) a full system is around a grand. The alternator was replaced at 7,000 miles. Must say all claims were sorted by Nissan without question - so I have few complaints at all other than the time some repairs took. Really enjoyed driving it though - when it was working it was excellent - also towed our large caravan very well (which may not have helped the clutch).

Nissan Almera Tino se 2005

A really nice car to drive.

Nissan Qashqai+2 Tekna 2008

Sorry, I’ve not got mine yet, but felt the first review is truly unfair since at the time of the review the vehicle had not even gone on sale, let alone available for hire! All magazine road tests have been positive so far, so a 1-star is just plain stupid..!

Nissan GT-R 2008

Awesome car, nicknamed ’baby veron’. Faster than Ferrari, Lamborghini, Zonda, Porsche & even the Bugatti around the notorious Nurberg ring. This car has the best 4wd system on the planet. 0-60 in just 3.3 sec. Say goodbye to your driving license.

Nissan X-Trail 2004

2.2 DCI SVE- What a fabulous car!! It really is a work horse. We have three children (one being a baby) and a dog... they all fit in perfectly. We pull a 23’ caravan all over the country and you don’t know it’s there. Plenty of torque and very comfortable. Avoid main dealer servicing though as its a total rip off - especially in Cardiff. They charge you for work they don’t do!!! Overall the vehicle is superb and definately buy another one. No problems with anything. Top car.

Nissan Qashqai+2 Diesel 2008

If I could have put it, I would have put minus 1 star. The diesel engine is really under powered I feel like a snail going up hill and the design is basically just a shell with no interior design thoughts. One positive is its only a hire car and goes back next week.

Nissan X-Trail Columbia Diesel 2.2 2006

I have owned the vehicle from new, June 2006. I have found the engine to be very noisy. Under warranty the injectors have be replaced but it is still noisy. On the annual service this year I mentioned it again and was told after test that it was the norm for this engine. Disappointed. In May 2008 when we travelled down to the French Alps towing a 1500Kg caravan. On coming out of La Mure on the N85 the vehicle overheated within the first part of the climb I had to stop and let it cool down. On re starting the journey from stand still it only just coped, but I could not get out of first gear for the rest of the climb and had to stop a second time, overheated again. On the flat or lower grade mountain roads, for example on the A75 from Milau to Beziers it is OK. I will be get rid very soon but not for another X-Trail.

Nissan Pathfinder Adventurer Auto 2.5 DCi 2007

What a great car! I waited until I had a good number of miles under the car before posting. This car does just about everything. It seats seven, with the two rear most seats suitable for children (or small adults!). The boot space is massive with the third row seats folded (into the floor). It tows our caravan with such utter ease, that you can forget it’s on! We went for the Adventurer Auto, and the spec list is endless. While i wouldn’t describe the Pathfinder as a luxury vehicle, I would say you get practical luxury. The surfaces and colours are designed to stand up to real world use. This is ideal if you have a "real" family, as you won’t spend all day worrying about marking the interior. It’s not the quietest at very low speeds, but soon settles into a hushed cruiser. Fuel economy can vary greatly depending on type of use etc. Short brisk trips to the shops for example can see the needle dip. However, longer steady runs can see well over 30 mpg. This seems in keeping with most similar 4x4s. The Adventurer competes with all the other luxury 4x4s on spec list, yet cost so much less. Add the fact that it also retains its resale value makes it almost a non brainer for the cost conscious. We will buy again, with only two things on the future wish list. Better fuel economy (in light of the ever rising fuel prices!), and electronic suspension control to allow comfort when cruising and firmness when towing/off roading.

Nissan Patrol sve 2006

Had the car 4 months, tows my 18ft caravan with ease, loads of space and great comfort , a bit noisy when pushed hard but once up to cruising speed its fine. 26/29 mpg, just does what it says on the box - great car.

Nissan Primera 2005

This car is the shame of the today’s automobile! Its behaviour in soft turns over 100km/h is a disaster and if you have a light side wind it can become really dangerous. In high speed, if the road is not perfect, its aerodynamic together with the soft suspension make your heart beat real fast. I have worked in car rental for years and driven almost every car and I can say only this: it’s the worst car in behaviour and not only in its category! Only Kia’s are worse and just then some of them. Car may be reliable and comfortable and but that’s not enough to make a car good.

Nissan Qashqai 1.5dci Acenta 2008

Unfortunately I don’t share the below opinions. I bought a 1.5 diesel for my wife and it is now back at the mechanics workshop just one week after taking delivery. This diesel engine is a bit of a nightmare. Great economy but very low on power. Nissan’s figure of 12.2 seconds for 0-100kph is simply a lie. I think 15 seconds at best. Also, after the first 500 miles, the engine starts to sound like a bag of spanners. When opening and closing doors, you need to treat it like paper as the noises and rattles make me fear that something is going to fall off at any moment. It must be Nissan employees putting on the previous test reports because if you look at the forums in Qashqai club, you will find that there are many angry owners out there. If someone offered me what I paid less five hundred quid to take the car now, I’d bite their hand off.

Nissan Cabstar 130bhp dropside 2008

New Nissan Cabstar 35.13 dropside 2008 model - really good truck, so far so good. Very bumpy on b roads when empty but stick some weight on the back and its like riding on a airbed. Very quick with lots and lots of power but engine has only done 60 miles. The computer reading is 28mpg running around with about 700kg on the back around town on short trips. It needs running in and I am expecting at least 30mpg....

Nissan Micra C+C 2006

I bought the C+C when it was launched in the UK in January 2006. Having owned Micra’s for as long as I can remember. The C+C has just blew me away. I know that it cost me twice as much as my previous Micra’s but the quality was immediately apparent in everything about it, particularly the road holding and handling. Two and a half years on and I have just bought a 2008 model and it is even better. Well Done Nissan. The best sporty car ever produced.

Nissan Primastar Auto 2008

Just 5 months old and I have a faulty starter motor, it was in the garage for a whole week. The interior may be well laid out, but it is so plasticky and so easy to damage, I have managed to damage the air vents, just by cleaning them! The body is also a let down, you can dent it so easily, nowhere near as tough as a van should be. So a BIG disappointment. I should have stuck to a Toyota!

Nissan Almera 1.5 S Petrol 2001

Excellent little car. Rides well, economical, good acceleration and brakes. One small thing, timing belt gone - £500 - nasty.

Nissan Qashqai 1.5 DCi Tekna 2007

Great little car but I’m not sure I’d rave about it being the best car I’ve ever had. For a 1.5D the engine is surprisingly good. It can be a little bit noisy but all in all very good. The Tekna comes with a few luxury items that I think are a must for this car. The panoramic roof is a nice gimmick and lets lots of light into the car making it feel extremely spacious inside, great for long journeys if you have kids in the back! To be honest, it probably wouldn’t matter to me if it had it or not though. The driving position is excellent and even though it’s such a tall car, it handles pretty well. I have had mine now for about 8K miles and so far it’s been up to the usual standards of Nissan as far as reliability goes and I really think this car will continue to run forever. Trim quality however is also to usual Nissan standards which is a bit disappointing. After such a short time I am having a couple of problems with the trim but they are all fairly minor. 1) Plastic surrounding driver’s door lock is loose. 2) Driver’s door mirror is a little loose so vibrates at speed. 3) Driver’s door hinge makes loud clicking noise when opening/closing . 4) Rubber stopper on inside of boot lid has come off. 5) Lots of rattles from parcel shelf (could be related to 4) 6) Rear seatbelt machanism cover has fell off. 7) Front fog-lights seem very very flimsy - be careful when washing! Besides these minor faults, the over-use of cheap plastic parts is a little bit worrying but much much better than the Dodge Calibre I looked at as an alternative. The leather in the Tekna also seems a little "plastic-y" but again at the price range I wouldn’t expect much else and it does seem to be quite hard wearing so far. Boot space is OK, but I also looked at the Kia Sportage which had a great flat folding seat arrangement allowing for masses of boot space (different class of car though) Although I have been looking at the Qashqai 2+2 and this seems to have a similar flat-folding seat arrangement. One of the strangest things about it is that it has turned more heads than any car I’ve ever had (and I’ve had a few exceptional cars) people just seem to be so interested in it. Almost anyone who passes it in the street seems to want to have a look inside! Not really surprising though as it definitely has some quirky styling. My verdict - good value, great family car but I do miss my old Saab. There’s definitely a market for this car but I don’t know if I personally would have another one.

Nissan Qashqai 2007

After having had two Ford Focus’s, I needed a change and what a change! Far better than the Focus, better for value, better to drive. Buy one!

Nissan Primera Estate T-Spec, estate 2002

Bought used in 04 and proving very difficult to replace. Top spec, toy spec, whatever, I will seriously miss the rear view camera, the intelligent cruise control (can be used on the M1), the excellent sat-nav, never mind the xenon headlights, auto sensing mirror & wipers and other stuff that is more noticeable in day to day driving than hyper road hugging; only really useful if you own an aerodrome. In fact the minor gripe mainly felt is re the 17" wheels and their increased harshness over the speed humps and potholes. It has proved very reliable, very easy on the pocket, comfortable locally and on motorways, with spacious seating and load bay. And so I am keeping it longer than usual, surprised that newer cars of higher repute struggle to meet this ’02 spec.

Nissan Qashqai Tekna 2008

Just completed 2000 miles in my Tekna. Best car I have ever owned, if you can afford it go for the 2.0 with the glass roof and leather. I had test drives in Audi, Lexus and BMW but the Qashqai beats them all for comfort, styling and design. The car attracts admiring glances where ever I go and looks a premium car. 10 out 10 for Nissan.

Nissan Qashqai 1.6 petrol 2007

I agree with the comments on this site. The Qashqai is a cracking car and does what it says on tin. It is quite a heavy car and feels supremely solid and practical. Well done Nissan you’ve got yourselves a winner!

Nissan Qashqai 2.0 dCi Tekna 4x4 2008

I used to drive a Mini Cooper S, and wasn’t on the lookout for a new car until a colleague at work brought a brochure for the QQ in to browse (his missus had pointed one out to him in a car park and he’d decided to look into buying one for himself). From the moment I got to the page showing the panoramic glass roof, I wanted one. Within a week I’d checked out all the specs, read lots of reviews, test driven a 1.5dCi Tekna and ordered one! I pick it up middle of June and can’t wait!

Nissan Qashqai 2.0 dCi Tekna 2007

Ran a Vauxhall Meriva for many years and was very happy with it but fancied a change. The Qashqai seemed just right for me and my expanding family, and the interior space and ample boot room fits all 5 of the Sutton family with room to spare. Ride position is high, suspension very good. Cost price is very reasonable and left me with change from my budget. The engine is punchy, I went for the 2 litre rather than the standard 1.6 as I enjoy having the power to pull away and overtake when necessary. There are almost no negatives, if I had to be picky then I might say that the large pillars make visibility poorer than it could have been but this really is a small quibble. Everything about the Nissan Qashqai is well laid out practical and I would not hesitate in recommending it to family and friends.

Nissan Qashqai 1.5 dCi Visia 2008

I fancied a change. I didn’t want a gas-guzzling 4x4 or an ordinary MPV and went looking for something "different". This was when my head was turned by the Qashqai, it is called a compact MPV and looks much better in reality than it does when looking at images online. Fuel economy is good (50+) and the CO2 emissions are only 145g/km which means it is classed as green. It also falls into insurance group 5 - not too expensive to insure. If you are looking for something a little different that gives a great feel of security for your family plus making family outings a pleasure rather than a chore then I highly recommend the Nissan Qashqai.

Nissan Pathfinder 3.0 Di Aventura 2006

This car was built to go up mountains, great big muddy ones at that! Fabulous off roader - if you’re looking for a 4x4 to dop the kids off at school then give this one a miss as ou’d be completely missing the point of this car. Amazing torque and can tow a house! Brilliant work horse and very comfortable interior with masses of space.

Nissan Pathfinder 2.5 Trek 5dr 2007

I find this a very capable vehicle. It has off-road abilities but is just as nice to drive around winding lanes and suburban roads. Running costs are reasonable for a car of it’s size and the price for new is well priced. Comes well equipped and gives plenty of comfort and space for both driver and passengers. Highly recommended.

Nissan X-Trail 2.2di 2002

Nice to drive BUT CANNOT recommend a car that needs new fuel pump for £2000 at 58000. Very common fault according to NISSAN dealer. Air flow meter, common fault £400 , new key £300 with coding. How can they charge these prices. DO NOT BUY unless you have deep pockets.

Nissan Micra C+C 1.4 Visia C+C 2dr 2006

I learnt to drive in a Nissan Micra (many years ago!) and it looked nothing like this!!! Gorgeous car and very, very nice to drive. I also like the fact you don’t see many of them about, which think makes it a bit special. It is a very girly car so won’t appeal to everyone but I think it’s a real gem.

Nissan X-Trail Columbia diesel 2007

For three years I previously had an X-Trail 2.2 litre sport six speed giving an average of 33 miles to the gallon. I looked at the new X-Trail in November 2007 when I was due to change but was disappointed to see they had reduced the cc to a 2 litre. As I tow a caravan the extra power is a must. The dealership were very good in that they checked to see if the old model was available and managed to supply a Columbia version with sat nav and cruise control and I can honestly say its as good as the previous one.

Nissan Micra 1992

I have had my K reg for four years and it has never failed to start regardless of the weather. It is reliable, economic and easy to maintain. Last year, I paid £200 maintenance for a 15 year old car, that must take some beating. I use the car every day and travel out of Birmingham in the car at least once a month and have every confidence in it to get me there and home again.

Nissan Qashqai 2.0 Acenta 2WD 5 dr 2008

Fabulous car. Really comfortable, Sat Nav and integrated bluetooth definitely worth it. Very smooth drive on motorway or B roads. I like the high driving position to!

Nissan Micra 2002

Very reliable little car, mine is the 1000cc so not much power for acceleration, feels a little too weak on the motorway and the suspension is pretty rigid so you do feel the bumps and then some. However, I’ve had mine for 4 years now and not a single problem has developed, fuel mileage is good and the paintwork still looks very shiny and new. I’ll definitely buy another when I feel I can part with this one - it’s become a bit of a pet!

Nissan Almera 1.6 16v 1997

I bought it at 7 years old with 57000 on the clock. A good drive and good supportive drivers seat. I have now done 204,000 miles and still going. Had a new clutch about 45000 miles back. Minor work on front suspension. All in all a brilliant car although the clutch has been rather stiff to use. The engine has only failed me once (this winter in damp weather...gave it a spray with wd40 and fine since) rear suspension now sounding a bit knocky on sharp bends. Will continue to drive it until major problems arise then sadly have to move on. All in all the most wonderfully reliable old car I’ve ever had...can’t really fault it

Nissan Qashqai 1.6 Acenta 2007

Fantastic, best car I have owned, and that takes a lot for me to say as I am very critical when it comes to cars. I have covered 8,500 miles now. very reliable, economical, comfortable and certainly different from your average ford focus looking cars.

Nissan Qashqai 1.5 DCI 2007

I wanted a car to replace my VW diesel Golf, the qashqai 1.5 dci turbo diesel 104 bhp was the car i brought ,excellent fuel economy 55 m.p.g. plenty of power from this small but lusty engine, great for parking with a tremendous lock, it sits nice and high so you get all good round visibility. I just done 30,000 miles in this car and I can't fault it

Nissan Micra 1.5 dCi SE 5d 2006

Totally reliable and I think a really nice cute looking car. Really nippy to drive over short or long distance and very comfortable. Excellent running costs and value for money. Wouldn’t be without mine.

Nissan Qashqai 1.6 Acenta 2008

I wanted a car to replace my Primera. At first I dismissed the Qashqai and looked at Toyota, Ford and even BMW. However, one test drive and I was hooked. It’s so well finished, extremely comfortable, superior equipment levels, a great drive and economical. The versatility of the split seats and rear luggage space make it a proper load carrier too. The elevated driving position is great in traffic. Overall - an excellent car.

Nissan Navara 2007

Can you confirm that the Nissan Navara Treck I have is safe to drive listening to the media there is speculation that the safety rating is not what we expected.

Mark, below is a link to a news item that responds to the Nissan Navara safety rating issue and should help you.

Response to the Nissan Navara pick up’s crash test performance.

Nissan Almera

Excellent car. Nice interior, good handling. Very economical and quite comfortable interior.

Nissan Almera Tino 1.8s 2004

Nothing but trouble from being 6months old engine immobiliser kept locking it self down new parts fitted still not solved problem sold it and got a Citroen

Nissan 350Z GT Pack 2003

Don’t listen to Jeremy Clarkson, I love my 350Z and it’s an early Model. Great fun ... superb looks ... and Top Gear Car of the Year (2004) Sounds Great too. Nice leather seats :D

Nissan Micra 1983

At first glance, the 1983 Micra is certainly an enticing prospect. The sporting driver is drawn to the sporty tyres and sizeable exhaust tailpipe and will not be surprised to learn that the 987cc engine packs a fruity 52 horsepower punch which is able to propel the Micra to a maximum speed of 94mph on a racetrack. The safety-conscious family driver will be pleased to learn that the Micra are equipped with 2 seatbelts in the front and 2 in the rear. After owning this car for 4 years (I waited for the price to drop before buying second-hand) I must say I’m thoroughly delighted with my purchase. The only significant downside is the faintly nutty aroma of the interior. I did briefly entertain the possibility that squirrels had built a nest (technically known as a "drey") in the dashboard but on inspection there were no squirrels present, just a small family of raccoons which I decided to leave in peace rather than evict and run the risk of being bitten. On further reflection, I suspect the aroma may be the fault of the (deceased) previous owner and I will be contacting his family in due course to request a partial refund for the distress caused by this unwanted fragrance. Nevertheless, this car comes highly recommended by me and the only reason I will sell is to upgrade to a 1986 Nissan Sunny I hope to import from Luxembourg in the summer. A step up in the luxury car world, I’m sure you’ll agree.

Nissan Note 2007

My Note auto is a great car but fuel economy is pathetic now that winter has arrived. 27.8 miles to the gallon now if two of use go to town ... Its cheaper to get the bus ...

Nissan 350Z Coupe GT pack 2007

Absolutely superb! An engine that growls on forever, tenacious road holding and so much power, the traction control struggles to keep it all straight every time in first and second. I have had no problems with the exception of a sticking throttle. That has not spoilt my enjoyment at all. It is a bit thirsty, I am getting about 24mpg and it is small insude but, it’s a genuine two seater sports car, your never going to move grand pianos in it anyway. If your in the "not sure wether to get one" league....get one.

Nissan X-Trail 2.0 Dci SVE 2005

The Nissan Xtrail was a good car to begin with but two years on we are now on to our 3rd Turbo and have had to have the suction control valve changed. I would never buy one of these cars ever again.What a complete let down it has turned out to be. Once this car is back on the road we are going to get shot of it ASAP and get something more reliable. Luckily for us we are having the work done under Warranty but when we have to start paying they are talking £1,000 money we can’t fford to keep paying out...

Nissan Primastar 2.0 dCi 2007

All round reliable van. Practical, well thought out lay out inside.

Nissan Pickup 2.5 Di 2007

Powerful, resourceful vehicle, it can get out of a tricky spot even when fully loaded. And it is the best looking pickup I’ve ever seen.

Nissan Primera Estate 1.8i S 5dr 2006

I’m really glad I bought this car. It’s firm but not uncomfortably so and very easy to drive. Whilst it maybe slightly unconventional in looks it’s not ugly and it certainly has everything you look for in an estate car. Very comfortable and very spacious and reasonable to run. A very good car.

Nissan Terrano 3.0 Di 2007

Good on fuel consumption considering its a 4x4. Reliable too. Has all the extras you could want. Well thought out.

Nissan Interstar 1.9 dCi 2800 swb l/r 2004

This van has been a sound investment for me. I’ve been self employed since 2006 and bought this van second hand with only 15k on the clock and it has been an absolute workhorse for me and never let me down. A really sturdy van that is excellent to drive.

Nissan Almera 1.5 16V SE 4dr 2005

Good space, large boot, good level of comfort. This isn’t the most exciting car I’ve ever driven but as a family car it is reliable, safe and gives good mpg.

Nissan Primera 2.0 SE 5dr 2002

Wonderful car, just keeps on going without needing any attention. Best family car I’ve owned. I’ve had this from new and it’s never given me a single days problem. Solid and easy to drive it is also very comfortable and roomy. Excellent car.

Nissan Pathfinder 2.5 dCi 5st 2007

A good off-roader, it has coped for me with the rough terrain on my farm. It was a cheap alternative to the Land Rover Discovery and I’m pleased with it.

Nissan Murano 3.5 V6 5dr 2007

Fabulous value for money, comes with leather interior, dvd-sat nav, rear parking camera, bose sound system (which is fantastic). Looks like nothing else on the road. Very comfortably seats our family of 5 and my boys just love it. The V6 engine is a joy but can be thirsty, but it’s well worth it for such a smooth drive. Really chuffed I chose this, we will be taking it on holiday to France in the spring and can’t wait to put it through it’s paces.

Nissan Micra C+C 1.6 Tekna 2007

Its a lovely car for me but a bit short on legroom if you are on the taller side. Decent price and fun to drive.

Nissan Pathfinder 2.5 dCi Sport 5dr 2006

Excellent 4x4. Proper off roader, grips well and handles brilliantly. Good solid, safe car and very flexible seating. Excellent value for money.

Nissan Almera Tino 2.2 DCi 36 SVE 5dr 2005

Very underrated MPV. I bought mine second hand a couple of years ago and have enjoyed nothing but reliable and and comfortable driving. We’ve taken ours the length and breadth of Britain and also around Ireland a few times and it’s never let us down. The only downside are the rear seats, which would be a little more flexible if they weren’t so heavy to move! Great family car and available at very reasonable prices.

Nissan Cabstar 34.10 SWB Dropside 2005

I drive this van for a local garden centre that I work for and find it a very reliable van. It certainly drives well and can shift when it needs to, even with a full load. I would say that it actually drives better when loaded as the front suspension can be a bit lively when unloaded. The cabin is basic but comfortable and overall it’s a good work van.

Nissan 350Z Roadster V6 309bhp GT 2dr 2007

Excellent car, one of the most exhilerating drives I’ve ever experienced. The car handles beautifully and there’s enough grunt to let you know you’re driving a very a powerful car and yet the engine runs remarkably quiet. Excellent brake power too; very useful! Good standard kit and some nice extras on offer. The Sat Nav is a bit frustrating at times though, which is a shame. Other than that I can only think of good things about this car.

Nissan X-Trail 2.0 dCi (148) 2007

If you’re going to get an X-Trail, get the diesel. The six-gear manual gearbox is a delight and I think it comes as standard. The ride is comfortable, visibility excellent. Corners well and the diesel engine is lovely and quiet when cruising. Great space, equipment and safety make this one of the best 4x4s, especially at the price.

Nissan Note 1.6 16v SE 2007

This is a great mini-MPV, sporty and spacious! Fuel economy? Great - over 40 miles to the gallon. The biggest plus point is the way the Note has been designed to offer clever storage solutions. The split-level boot is genius and there are so many little nooks and crannies that you are never stuck for somewhere to store your items. A very practical and efficient Japanese car, perfect cross between a supermini and an MPV.

Nissan Qashqai 1.6 Visia 2007

I am very pleased with my 1.6 Visia, it provides me with a comfortable ride due mainly to a good driving position. The cruise control and reversing sensores further enhance the quality feel and the reliabilty has so far not been called into question. Good inside space and the certainly feels safe on both A-roads and motorways. An excellent product from Nissan, well done to them.

Nissan Note 1.6 16V SE 2007

Plenty of head room in this car, perfect for people like me.. Nissan reliability also a plus but it is basically a slighty bigger Micra. Depends how tall you are.

Nissan Micra 1.5 dCi SE 2007

Proper girl’s car. Agile on the road and and spacious inside. Good size boot for all that shoe shopping!

Nissan Qashqai 1.6 Visia 2007

This is the ideal choice for a family 4x4. The new car price is within the reach of most and the reliabilty is exemplary. This is a comfortable ride with a great feeling of safety and solidity. Spacious, reliable and good value for money.

Nissan Qashqai 1.6 Visia 2007

What a car, bought this to placate my wife, who wanted something big enough for all the family, but small enough for her to handle and also not get too beat up about the green issues. Since buying this car, I have commandered for myself, as it is a complete joy to drive, has quite an angular look to it and is a bargain to boot. Highly recommend.

Nissan 350Z 3.5 V6 GT

I love it! This car is awesome & keeps hold of its value. Not the roomiest inside, but hey - it’s a sports car at a decent price! Well done Nissan.

Nissan Note

I love my Nissan note. A decent sized supermini with a reasonable price. Nice high driving position. Certainly my choice in this class. Would highly recommend it!

Nissan Patrol 3.0 TD Adventura 5dr

I recently test drove the Adventura and whilst it intially ticked all the boxes I was looking for; space, comfort, off road capabilities, and has an impressive towing capability it feels sloppy to drive and is extremely noisy. On top of this the fuel economy is awful compared to other 4x4’s out there. A real shame as this could be a great car but too many things let it down.

Nissan Kubistar 1.5 dCi 60E

Brilliant little van, perfect for deliveries and collecting stock for my florists shop. Very economical to run and a nice little drive. Looks very smart too. Very pleased with my choice of vehicle.

Nissan Qashqai 1.5 dci Visia

The Nissan Qashqai has the feel of a premium 4x4 without the price tag or the hate, no one will believe that this car cost less than £25,000 or that it does 50mpg! Try it!!

Nissan Qashqai 1.6 Tekna

Perfect style and perfect handling! Suprising performance and economy from 1.6 engine! Only sound quality of the speakers is poor!

Nissan X-Trail Sport

I’m excitedly waiting to collect my first x trail sport, I had a test drive yesterday & am so impressed. The drivng position, easy handling, comfort & what really sold it to me ... the wonderful fuel consuption. I didn’t think I could afford to run a 4x4, but this is brilliant. I’ll report back when I pick him up ... I’ve called him Neville!

Nissan Qashqai 1.6 Acenta 2WD 5 dr

Difficult to pronounce, easy to fall in love with. This car is so stylish and my kids absolutely love being driven to school in it. Great on short or long journeys. Haven’t found anything about it to dislike. Definitely value for money.

Nissan X-Trail 2.0 dCi 171 Sport 5 dr

So far everything has been reliable, and trouble free. Plenty of space for 4 adults to travel comfortably and very good on fuel consumption. Great car.

Nissan Micra 1.4 SE

What can I say? Not the most dynamic of cars, acceleration is not the quickest but as far as dependability goes there can not be many other cars that provide such piece of mind as my Micra. I've been running it now for three years and not had any problems worth mentioning. If you need a car that gets you from A to B regularly then this is a car that is worth bearing in mind. Reliable is the word that would sum up the Nissan Micra.

Nissan Navara Nissan Navara Outlaw 2.5 dCi Double Cab

The Nissan Navara has been designed to take you and your cargo wherever you wish to go in style and comfort, whilst always being prepared for the unexpected.

Nissan Micra

Good little run about, never fails to start even on the coldest days. Cheap to run and for replacement parts. Easy to park. Good size boot considering it's a little car. Suitable for any purpose. Bit slow to respond to accelaration but it is a smaller engine. Thats probably the only bad thing you can say about it.
