Faults:

Problems related to the power steering include fluid leaks that make assistance difficult. Of all the issues, this was the most common and most common.

Premature belt wear can lead to a less smooth ride. As for the brakes, although there isn't a specific problem with the engine itself, the power of the DiG-T engine can lead to faster brake wear if the vehicle is driven intensively.

General Comments:

Despite not being a large car, it has a fairly spacious rear cabin, ideal for passengers and transporting bulky items. As well as a generous trunk for a car of its size. The car's cabin is well soundproofed, which contributes to a high level of comfort, reducing engine and aerodynamic noise.

The suspension, although somewhat soft, filters out irregularities well and provides great comfort, especially on the highway, where the vehicle displays poise and a feeling of solidity.

Despite the issues I mentioned, the steering is smooth and precise, making city maneuvers easier and providing confidence on the highway.

The DiG turbocharged gasoline engine is small in size but extremely powerful, yet it offers fairly balanced performance, tending to focus more on comfort and flexibility for relaxed driving than on sporty performance. This is quite logical since it's designed to be a utility car, not a sporty one.

Fuel consumption is approximately 4.8 l/100 km, not bad for a gasoline engine, so from this point of view it's also positive for urban use.

Hit a Kangaroo at 100km per hour... Needed a new bumper, left quarter panel, left front door, CV shaft and a wheel alignment. Took a while to get parts in as no one in WA stocks them yet.

General Comments:

Fantastic. The turbo coupled with the 6 speed manual is an absolute triumph. The car is a real sleeper, same as an SSS except without the leather, body kit and sat nav. Just an all round great daily driver with a sporty flavour. 0-100 in 7 seconds is pretty quick for a warm hatch as well.

Can't really fault Nissan's service; very friendly down here in Rockingham and very helpful. I'll keep you posted as she ages... Keeping this one for a while I think. Bloody great.
