2003 Nissan Frontier SE review from North America
"Frontier SE CC Long Box"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Some faults- Gas mileage is not great. Power up high is lagging. However, with some performance upgrades you can get more out of the truck.
Air Intake
Cat Back Exahust
Lighter Wheels
All of these give better performance and better gas mileage
General comments?
This truck is better than the competition. My previous truck was S10. A pile of metal if you ask me. Here is how they compare.
Frontier's frame is beefier, seats are nicer, lots of electrical outlets, you can get a crew cab with a 6ft bed, the SE has a LSD standard, the sound system is good/excellent w/6cd changer and 9 speakers, bed extender is awesome, acceleration is similar, 4x4 is reliable, easy to work on bearings, it stays aligned, interior is comfortable for 2 adults and 2 kids, lots of options.
Think about a frontier and not an S10
