In their own words

We bought the car due to being the best value SUV in the market. The interior, engine and gearbox were all a little agricultural compared to other cars out there but I knew what I was getting at purchase. The only bit that did catch me out was realising how slow getaways are, I mean literally any car will be quicker off the mark. It has infortunately been a catalogue of issues, which from reading Wayne’s review I think we may have had one from a bad batch. The discs warped and created chatter which the Nissan main dealer did under warranty. The turbo started whining and was replaced and not long after the intercooler connector broke leading to the whole intercooler needing replacing. The latest gremlins are a stereo / sat nav unit which crashes and resets itself fairly often, and also a boost control pressure issue which flicks the engine management light on.
