Nissan Navara, peoples views please.

[Dave3166]

Hi There.

I am thinking about getting a Navara in the very near future.

Have been reading on the forum good reviews about them and also not so good reviews about them.

Trouble is i like the look of the Navara, in side and out, now wishing i had not read the reviews on them, bloody forums

There is always the Hilux. Probably more bullet proof and better residuals, But i keep going back to the Nissan.

Can anyone shed any light on the Navara please.

Model would be a 2013/2014, possibly 2015 2.5 litre diesel.

Thanks.

Dave.

I had a 2011 Navara Tekna Connect auto from new, clocked up about 25,000 miles over 3 years and the only issue I had was a new battery right at the end of the warranty period that was replaced without issue.

It is sorely missed and I'm tempted to get another as a second car as it was so handy for tip runs, mountain biking etc etc.

Buy from a main dealer with warranty would be my advice.

Thanks for the reply, i do like them, they look well equipped and nicely finished.

Main dealer is a good point, trouble is, i`ve seen 2 at non franchised dealers, prefer the old shape as opposed to the current one.

We've got an older D40 here as well, I forgot about it as it's driven by one of my lads.

Zero issues with it, just routine servicing etc.

Thanks again

Funny thing is, i have just rung a couple of garages re warranty, cambelts or camchains etc.

One garage (non Nissan) said chain another, Approved Nissan garage said cam belt, worrying Which is it

Had a 2009 2.5 for three years from new. It was faultless and I loved it so much I traded it in for anew 2012 3.0 V6. Had that for three years and that too was faultless. If I ever need that type of vehicle again it would be my default choice. Enjoy!
