1996 Nissan 2 X 4 Truck XE review from North America
"Great, hope Nissan continues with the quality"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission rebuilt at 200,000 miles along with new clutch ($1800).
Air bag sensor went out at 90,000 miles ($600).
General comments?
Bucket seats would be more comfortable than the current bench seat.
Steering wheel coating has started to disintegrate, but it does has over 276k miles, so I think I got my moneys worth out of this.
It has been one reliable vehicle. It is still fast, and doesn't smoke or burn oil, so I think the key was to buy it with low miles and maintain it before it had a chance to be abused.
