Nissan Presea Reviews

Failure on the water pump.

This car still gives very good mileage

70% Highway/ 30%City - 12.5-14km/l

Highway - 14.5-16km/l

City - 11-13km/l.

When I first got the car the fuel consumption was very bad, below 9km/l, but after I did some maintenance by replacing the clutch plate and had the car tune up. it improved. Then I installed the grounding cables and did changed the standard spark plug cable to 8mm spark plug. And the mileage keep on going up! I also increased my type pressure by 10% to gain an extra km!

Viscous limited slip transmission gears started to slip and had to be replaced.

Changed the alternator after 75,000km.

Brake rotors were worn and had to be replaced at 100,000km.

Tires wear from the inside, even after alignment.

The air condition vents have melted.

Because of the limited slip differential, it handles in and out of the corners like a dream with little or no over-steer.

The sr20 engine is crazy, it has a really fast take off and burns mean rubber when shifting.

I have to get some 17" rims to change out the 15" that are on there right now, and also a Brembo brake upgrade as well as performance suspension.

Nothing in particular, other than what one would expect from regular wear & tear. I have so far replaced the following and these were all carried out after 110000km; brake booster and disc's/calipers, a/c compressor, alternator, shock absorbers, steering stabilizer, radiator and front and rear engine mountings.

Lovely car with nice lines and a distinctive, different from the rest look. Engine is reliable and the 1.8 litre provides more than adequate power, even with 4 people in the car. With regards to handling, I have upgraded the shock absorbers to KONI and have also discarded the original 13" alloys in favour of racing 16" rims with 205/45 tires which provide for confident handling. Ride is not as comfortable though! Other positives include a very sporty dashboard layout and a host of advanced features, even for now!

The same problem with the air-con vents melting away.

The compressor is making a bit too much noise.

The in cabin door panels' cloth are coming off.

Factory Sound proofing is not very good.

The window gives way to wind noise at 100 km/h and above.

Its very sporty looking for a family saloon that seats 5.

The unique flat look cannot be found elsewhere.

The new model of presea is not as sleek as the old model.

I packed mine with a 4 channel Estacsy Amplifier for my front and back Lanzar speakers, a 2 channel Tekline Amplifier for my 15 inch Subwoofer in the boot, channeled through a estacsy pre amplifier to my mid-range headset.

Using 14 inch Falken Ateznis ST115 were not really a good choice cause it was loud, I might choose a wider rim the next tyre change.

Nothing much went wrong, except for my clutch pads, due to wear and tear.

Interior panels were melted due to the hot weather here. Too expensive to replace them as you got to get them from the dealer itself.

Great car to own as its already quite stylish without a body kit.

Very comfortable leather seats.

Lowered suspensions make it a very reliable car for cornering.

However, the wheel covers spoil the whole look of the car, so I changed it into sport rims with 205 tires. Performs great with rainy days.

Slightly tinted windows add to its sporty look.

Definitely a car worth buying. Its just a pity that Nissan discontinued with this model.
