    Have you had any problems with the car?

    Always had a flat spot..even now 65000 miles later, they said it would go away..It does when we pay for higher octane fuel..since 2007..Brakes always make a grinding noise on set off. were recommended to have new discs and pads at 9000, didn't and still shiny and even but rumble for first 5 mins until overnight rust disappears, rear shoes wore down unevenly after 15000, fitted new at my expense and still perfect 50,000 miles later. Window lost its automation went back to Nissan Bolton and changed motor but made a mess with the door panel glue and denied it. i had to sort it out. Once you buy from them they fall out of love with you...shame as we like Nissans and it will put us off when we change this year.

    roomy.rear access..access easy. sits high up

    keyless locking,,tinted rear glass on this model, but we paid extra don't forget for both of these
