2005 Nissan Navara aventura review from UK and Ireland

On Delivery I noticed the back door had been repaired (the eyelash in the paint & orange peel may have been the giveaway) the dealership said this was a paint problem and would look into making a warranty claim against Nissan !!!. apart from that I have noticed a grinding noise from the back axle I'm yet to take it to get it checked out

I'm also still waiting for my hardtop that's been on order for 6 months apart from that the car is excellent and is in a different league to the previous model, the test drive impressed me so much I traded my 8 month outlaw (the trade in cost me dearly, but the 18000 services and ride improvement make up for it.

The car is seriously equipped the sat nav and phone kit are great, the voice recinition and the mp3 sound system are excellent,

performance is much better than the old shape Navara and the ride is much better. Fuel econ is around the 27mpg mark which is good for a vehicle of this size. The heated seats & car heater are poor and take ages to heat up also I cannot believe they missed reverse sensors off the option list as this is one BIG TRUCK to park, also lit steering controls would have been nice.
