"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.

I'm back again to comment on my original review of my '05 Nissan Frontier and I must say am impressed with the truck. I get approximately 22.8 mpg combined driving and have not had one problem after 80K miles. The 2.5 litre engine is under-powered, but I did buy it for fuel savings.

Don't let the body fool you. I was rear-ended by a youngster doing 50 in her Pontiac Formula. Luckily I had 880 pounds of bagged cement in the bed and though I was pushed about 15 feet after impact, the truck only sustained a bruised bumper. The Formula looked like it hit a freight train and totaled. No one was seriously injured but thanks to the Frontier, the wife and I were able to walk away. One tough and reliable truck. The next one I get will be the four door.
