2006 Nissan Sunny Ex review from Egypt
"Nice family car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong yet. It's still new.
General comments?
Good points first:
• The car feels very reliable, has a decent ride and quite luxurious for its price
• Horse power is quite good and the car gives the impression of being able to pull its way on any slope with full load
• Most of the common options are there, although for an unknown reason the antenna is manual!! You have to open the window and pull it up by hand.
• The A/C is good and does its job in the hot climate of Egypt
• The double color of the dash board is nice and the seats are large and comfortable.
• The car is very stable at all speeds and takes corners quite nicely.
• The trunk is quite roomy. Though the lid, is a bit too light for my liking.
• All in all it gives a family car package.
Things that are not quite impressive:
• Do not expect a racing car. The acceleration is not that impressive from
0 – 40 km/hr. It then picks up somewhat from 40 – 100 km/hr. The dealer says that this is the car’s normal behavior.
• The bumpers look useless and I do not want to think of what might happen if I go head to head with any car or if a car crushes in my back.
• Paint on the bumpers is not one of its strong points it comes out easily with any scratch
• The car gives me 10 km/l on a mixed road (high road and in town) which is in my opinion less than average.
• The engine is not as quiet as reported.
