1998 Nissan Frontier XE review from North America
"Good reliable transportation"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The A/C quit working at about 135,000 miles, too expensive to fix, so I haven't. It broke a torsion bar at around 150,000 miles. $80 for the part at the dealer. Alternator went at 171,000 miles $190-230 rebuilt. I got a used one for $100. The original clutch is still in the truck, and it has been a pizza delivery truck since day one, so it's not like it hasn't been abused.
General comments?
This is the best vehicle I've ever owned.
I'd strongly recommend it to anyone needing a good truck with low operating costs.
I get 24mpg around town-redlining it at every shift!
