General Comments:

I can't begin to stress enough how poor this car is. I had originally bought this car because I had a Nissan previously and had NO problems. Now, just when I think it's going stop giving me problems something else happens. I've been reading through the forum and am trying to decide what to look at first in terms of fixing the tachometer jumping and the "missing" feeling while driving.

I would sell this car, but who buy it?

Faults:

My transmission has a small grinding in third gear, but does not effect the performance. I talked to a local transmission expert, and he said it was a sync, and that it is so minor it will be a long while before it needs to be repaired, and the total cost of the repair would be around 600.

General Comments:

Consistently getting 32 mpg around my town driving; 6 miles to and from work, and 10 miles to school.

It is a very fun car to drive with good pick up for such a small car.

Only money put into it is to maintain it, oil changes, brakes and stuff like that.

It is a pretty comfortable car for a compact, and the A/C is very cold.

Soft ride and very good turning radius. Very nimble and easy to maneuver.

Faults:

Check engine light came on. It was the mass air flow sensor.

Horn stopped working at 100,000kms; got it fixed for $350 cdn. Just noticed it is not working yet again. $117,000kms. Have not taken it in yet to get that fixed.

The fan for heat/AC is broken. It is either off or high, nothing in between. I have yet to take it in for that still too. Stopped working at about 95,000kms.

Has anyone found the problem with the horn yet?? dunner73@hotmail.com

General Comments:

I enjoy driving this car and find it comfortable on long drives. With the problems listed it has not left me stranded. I like the car not sure if I would buy another Nissan relating to the cheap electrical and emission.

Faults:

New Radiator-213 000 miles-$250 part and installation.

Many, Many headlight bulbs-$9 each.

General Comments:

I bought this car somewhat new about seven years ago with about twenty one thousand miles on it for $9,300. New I've been told they go for about $11k.

I purshased the base model, the only options it was equiped with was air conditioning, and carpeted floor mats.

When I got the car I was very pleased with the accelleration and handling of such an inexpensive car.

Gas mileage was amazing, for the first hundred fifty thousand miles of ownership I averaged about thirty eight miles per gallon, all the time (a/c only brought it to about thirty two). After I hit about 200K miles I only got about thirty three miles on average.

I've always known Nissan to be a good car, but never this good. Finally at about 237K miles my car started to have some slight engine trouble, and suspension trouble. Instead of fixing the car I just donated it out.

In the entire six years of ownership nothing of went wrong on my car except the radiator and headlight bulbs.
