Driving it
What's it like to drive?
An absolute pleasure. my first nissan. I can be working till 3.am and then have to drive 60miles home but I look forward to it. it purrs along at 60 doing 40+ mpg or if you put your foot down she lifts her skirts and flys.

With the reversing camera I can virtually parallel park in its own length. steering is light so no effort is needed.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Just the emissions exhaust valve thingy that brought on the engine management light. once repaired I started getting another 3 miles per gallon.
What's most practical about your car?
Everything, 4 wheel drive is a doddle. the hill decent button took me down an icy hill pulling my mini digger. the sat nav / bluetooth / stereo / reverse camera centre consul is fantastic.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Everything, the reverse camera is a god send with trailers etc, bluetooth: talking to the lady behind the dash is great.
