1998 Nissan Frontier EX review from North America
"Great truck would buy another"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Tailgate finisher panel fell off during cold weather
Windshield wipers failed twice, connection to motor broke and pivots replaced. No other problems.
General comments?
Excellent vehicle reliability. Had two Honda's before with more problems than this vehicle. Rides stiff, but not uncomfortable could use a bit more power than the 4 puts out, but not terrible. Drive on the highway daily and has adequate acceleration.
