Is the Nissan Sylphy a good car for a first car?
06 January 2025 09:49
It depends on what you want. The Sylphy is great if you want something that’s comfortable and spacious. However, if you’re after sporty handling, you’ll need to look elsewhere.
Is Nissan Terra's infotainment system a deal breaker?
06 January 2025 09:44
I don't think it's that bad. It's not the fanciest system in the world, but it does what it needs to. Plus, I don’t use the native interface for anything anymore with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Real world fuel efficiency of Nissan Terra vs its competitors.
06 January 2025 09:44
As far as I know, the Terra's fuel economy is pretty good for a car its size. One thing I can say is that in mixed driving, I am averaging about 10–11 km/l which isn’t bad for a seven seater SUV.
Will the Nissan Terra lose its value very fast, is this a concern for long term ownership?
06 January 2025 09:44
It's not bad resale value, but the resale value may not be as strong as a Toyota. Also, you'll probably get a better price on a new Terra than you would on its rivals, which might make up for any depreciation difference.
Will the Nissan Terra’s spaciousness come at the cost of performance?
06 January 2025 09:44
Everything depends on your priorities. The Terra has the space for city driving and the occasional highway trip. However, if you’re usually fully loaded, or riding in hilly areas, the lack of power can be frustrating.
Is the Nissan Terra's off road ability as good as they say?
06 January 2025 09:44
As anyone who has taken the Terra out on some gnarly trails will attest, it’s surprisingly capable. It’s not a Jeep Wrangler, but it’ll get most people through most off road situations they’ll ever find themselves in.
Owning a Nissan Sylphy comes with what pros and cons?
06 January 2025 09:36
Advantages:
The Sylphy offers a spacious trunk, making it practical for luggage and shopping.
It features dual-zone climate control for added comfort.
The car comes equipped with several safety systems under Nissan’s Safety Shield suite.
It is known for delivering good fuel economy.
Disadvantages:
The engine performance is considered modest and may feel underpowered to some drivers.
Rear seat space can be tight for adult passengers, especially on longer journeys.
The CVT gearbox is not everyone’s favorite and has had reliability concerns in some markets.
How comfortable is the Nissan Sylphy among compact sedans?
06 January 2025 09:36
The Nissan Sylphy provides a comfortable ride, especially for front passengers, thanks to its climate control and supportive seats. However, the rear seating area may be a bit cramped for taller adults, which could affect comfort during extended drives compared to some rivals in the segment.
Is Nissan Sylphy CVT really that bad?
06 January 2025 09:36
The CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) in the Nissan Sylphy receives mixed feedback. Some drivers find it less engaging and responsive than traditional automatics or manuals. There have also been reports of reliability issues with Nissan’s CVTs in earlier models, though improvements have been made in recent years.
How well do Nissans Sylphy retain their resale value?
06 January 2025 09:36
The Nissan Sylphy holds its value reasonably well for a compact sedan. After about three years, it typically depreciates by around 30-33%. This rate of depreciation is average for its class, meaning it maintains a fair portion of its original value if well-maintained.
Is the Nissan Qashqai really as bad as its reputation?
06 January 2025 09:32
It all depends on what you’re looking for. The Qashqai is fine if you want a no frills family hauler that’s easy to drive and park. If you care about driving dynamics or want something with character, though, you'll be disappointed. That's as plain yogurt as automotive can get.
If the Qashqais are so mediocre, why do so many people buy them?
06 January 2025 09:32
Car reviewers and enthusiasts aren’t representative of average buyers, that’s why. What most people want is something that’s reliable, comfortable, and easy to live with. The Qashqai does all of this without being a bank breaker.
How good is the interior space of the Qashqai?
06 January 2025 09:32
It's a mixed bag. The front space is great but the rear is tight for adults. The boot is a good size but the rear window is sloped which means it doesn't take tall items. It is a compromise between practicality and style.
So how does the Qashqai perform in snow and poor weather?
06 January 2025 09:32
I have the AWD version and it's been great in the snow. It's not Land Rover levels of capability, but you won't need them for bad weather or light off roading. It really helps with the extra ground clearance.
Does the Qashqai's popularity affect its resale value more (or less) than other SUVs?
06 January 2025 09:32
I do think the popularity actually hurts resale value. Prices are driven down by such an abundance of available used ones. On top of that, newer models are improving all the time, so older versions are less attractive.
Do recent models of the Nissan Patrol have lost the edge they always had with off road?
06 January 2025 09:25
For those of you who are off road aficionados and regularly take your Y62 off road, I can assure you it is still an incredibly capable vehicle. Both advanced 4WD system and air suspension make a huge difference. Sure, it’s fancy, but it can get dirty with the best of them.
The Nissan Patrol's fuel consumption, is it a deal breaker in today's eco conscious world?
06 January 2025 09:25
It’s a concern, but I won’t lose sleep over it. The fuel costs are nothing compared to the reliability and capability of the Patrol. And I don't daily drive it around the city, either.
Is the popularity of the Nissan Patrol in the Middle East the reason people think it's popular everywhere?
06 January 2025 09:25
It earns popularity in the Middle East. It's not just a status thing, it's actually well suited for the environment. However, with that said, Nissan could do a little better job of marketing its benefits in other regions.
Is the new Nissan Patrol Y63 a worthy successor to the previous ones?
06 January 2025 09:25
It's a natural evolution, the Y63. It's more luxurious, yes, but that's what the market wants these days. But it still has the power and capability for off roading, just with more comfort. Naturally, you can't fault Nissan for giving people what they want.
How reliable is the Nissan Patrol really, or is it all hype?
06 January 2025 09:25
I don’t think the reliability is as overhyped as everyone makes it out to be. They’re solid vehicles but I’ve had my fair share of issues with mine. Electrical systems can be a pain and parts aren’t always easy to find.
