2005 Nissan Frontier LE review from North America
"Great truck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely nothing except for the gas door. The small spring will not allow door to remain shut.
General comments?
I still own my faithful 4Runner and since it was not going to quit after 320K miles, I decided to purchase a new vehicle. Originally my choice was the '05 Tacoma, but Toyota dealerships carried a small inventory with almost zero negotiations, I opt for the Nissan Frontier and couldn't be happier. I saved around $4 grand over a similar equipped Tacoma. The 2.4 with the automatic is not the quickest, but with a mid-sized frame, it does get up and go. My gas mileage has been good, around 18 city and 25 highway. The interior is extremely comfortable, easy access and great for long trips. The CD player with the 4 speaker system is adequate for me and the wife. Heck, she drives it more than I do. The extra cab allows seating for children and storage. Overall I am pleased with my Frontier and has been reliable after 10k miles of driving. With the aggressive design, Nissan has a winner in the Frontier and I have no regrets in my purchase.
