Summary
What does this car say about you?
I should be more careful in future in the car I choose and the dealer I choose to buy from.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They liked it - but themselves have also been put off Nissans all together.
Would you buy this car again and why?
No. Will never by Nissan again, very poor service from them. The car appears to have been manufactured with a defect (18,000 were recalled but mine wasn't one of them despite being within the date of the recall notice).
What are you likely to buy next?
Cant afford one because of the Nissan repair bill but would probably go for the Kia Sportage (something with a good warranty).

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
YES - Premature failure of timing belt. Nissan have quoted £5900 to replace the engine but wont contribute themselves despite the car only having covered 42k mile (under 4 yrs old) !! #MyNissanHell.
What's most practical about your car?
Nothing any more - its useless with a broken timing belt and ruined engine.
