Responds well when you put your foot down, doesn't sound unhappy until about 5k RPM

Living with it
Reliability
Very few niggles or unhappy noises, doen 97k miles and still feels strong
Image
No street cred, but actually a good looking profile, if not from the front. Could be improved slightly, but looks a sight better than the newer models. Misses the rear spoiler than many other models have which finishes it off nicely
Comfort
Seats ok, but not great, not many good spaces to put things. Given that though, the load carrying capacity is impressive

Security and Service
Security
Doesn't feel secure, has not been tested really, but steering wheel lock is so tight I struggle to take it off even when I have the key
Service
Not had any dealings with Nissan
