2006 Nissan Frontier NISMO review from North America
"My favorite truck I've ever driven!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing, unless you count a cracked windshield, but that's not the truck's fault.
General comments?
One word - fast. There is never any want for acceleration in this thing. It handles great, the ride height is sweet and it's the perfect size - I feel like I'm in perfect control of it. And the six-speed tranny was hard to find, but definitely worth it.
Mileage is a little disappointing, though. The best I've seen is about 16-17 mpg. I was hoping for more from Nissan's smaller truck.
The only other thing is the seats... my boyfriend (the truck's actual owner, but I love driving it too) complains that his back hurts after 7-hour trips from Maryland to North Carolina, but I personally think it feels great.
This is a great truck if you don't want a full-size pickup.
