Fast though What's it like to park? easy enough Living with it 1 out of 5 Have you had any problems with the car? Well where do I start? 9 months was as long as i could stand driving the most unreliable car i have ever owned before trading it in. It refused to start twice last winter when our 14 year old Rover 400 burst into life at a moments notice. Even after replacing the earth strap, glow plugs and battery it was still reluctant and frequently threatened to stall when it did start. it also needed the worn Suction Control Valve on the fuel pump replaced which is a design fault Nissan are well aware of but are also only too happy to charge you £420 to replace. It also suffered a broken spring which also ruined the tyre, a stuck caliper, rattly brakes, condensation in the headlights and rust. Couple all this hassle and expense with uncomfortable seats, poor quality radio and speakers. What's most practical about your car? The only good things i have to say are that the boot space is good and its fast Favourite gadget, option or accessory? The cup holders are quite novel in that they 'grasp' your drink.
