Economy
Value
When purchased two years ago it seemed expensive.Trade value not so good on this smaller engined model.
Costs
Because of corrosion it needed replacement discs (and pads) at 30k miles. Nissan refused to reimburse for the discs because the Dealer considered such corrosion to be acceptable fair wear and tear. 60k/ 3yr warranty does not cover.

Driving
Easy to drive not so good on corners and poor on hills. Auto box must work hard.
Performance
2 litre auto is underpowered and useless on hills would buy a diesel next time.

Living with it

A smart compact 4x4. More suited to the mature driver or for the school run.
Comfort
Very good

Security and Service
Security
The central locking system stopped working at 26k miles, otherwise satisfactory.
Service
A 60k/ 3yr warranty should mean what it says. Replacement discs at 30k miles because of corrosion should be a warranty cover, but the dealer Forge Valley, Scarborough considered such deterioration as acceptable which meant that Nissan would not reimburse
