2007 Nissan Tiida M Series Hatchback review from Trinidad and Tobago
"For limited driving on smooth roads only"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well this car was purchased in Trinidad, and the performance of the car is rather good, however the braking system was not the best designed one.
The calipers stick and were changed by the dealers.
The fuel gauge stopped working twice and had to be changed.
The fan belt was changed twice in the first year and a half of ownership.
Gas consumption for this vehicle is rather high.
The car is rather sensitive to potholes and rough road, and the alignment has to adjusted ever so often.
I changed the drum brakes at 45,000 km, which is ridiculous.
General comments?
The car is a great looking car, and has great performance and features, especially the comfort. However the maintenance cost is rather high.
I would not recommend this car for the person who drives a lot, because maintenance and service would come every month, as in a case where driving per day equals 100km per day.
The car did not come with mats and splash (mud) guards, as well as the scuff guard for the rear bumper.
The original sound system cannot play MP3, so I changed that system and added in one with USB capabilities in the front, as well as all the other options that I mentioned were missing.
