Vastly underrated, a fine drivers car
Nothing!
You've got to drive one to believe it, in terms of handling nothing in its class compares.

Great to drive, reliable and fun when pushed
Nothing.
Handles like a dream, goes like a rocket over 4000 revs. Comfortable, unlike previously owned Vauxhall that made my back ache.
Shame it's not prettier - hey it's Japanese!

Rattly front windows fixed by dealer by lubricating runner wires in door frame.
Very under-rated car. Great handling and build quality although petrol consumption could be a bit better.
I would definitely recommend one.

Excellent reliablity, performance and handling. A very good buy indeed
Nothing. Car has only covered 12000 miles but runs great so far. Will post again in a year or two's time....
Update 22/8/2000:
Nothing at all - but changed the gearbox oil to a fully-synthetic 75W90S (ELF) to improve 1-2 gearshift on cold mornings.
Outstanding build quality and warranty. No creaks or rattles of any kind. Head and shoulders above the Ford Mondeo. Excellent ride and handling. Good supplying dealer (Hartwell Nissan, Chester). Only drawback is excessive road noise on coarse surfaces and unadventurous interior and exterior styling.
Update 22/8/2000:
Car is still as good as new. Had 18,000 mile service a few weeks ago; good and reasonably priced service from the dealer.
Excellent and reliable car with very good handling - ideal family saloon. Rather boring styling is its only drawback.

Door opening difficult in hot weather due to something in the mechanism sticking. Some rattles.
A superb machine and excellent value both for initial outlay and fuel economy. Brilliant handling and responsive engine makes it a joy to drive and many hundreds of miles in the cockpit are a prospect I relish. Seats and ergonomics also excellent. Slightly ugly 5 door is very practical car for all purposes. 8 seater flat packed Ikea dining suite goes in the back no problem.

Nothing.
My dealer is rubbish and spoils what would otherwise be an excellent package.

Not hugely fast, but excellent handling makes it entertaining to drive. Excellent specification including A/C, CD autochanger, electric sunroof, makes this car excellent value for money.

Update February 2003.
Still got this car - now at 26000 miles. Stands on the drive in all weathers and is used by my wife everyday to get to work.
Still as good as the day we bought it. Nothing gone wrong, nothing replaced. Still on original brakes, tyres etc. etc. What can I say? Would buy another in an instant!
