Are there any bad faults with this model

Overall not a bad car however, you need to be careful what model you select.

If you are looking at used imports try and avoid models fitted with a Constant Variable Transmission (CVT).

Engines sizes can vary also from between 1.5litre and 1.8litre. Our information would suggest the 1.8litre used import have the CVT fitted.

If you stick with NZ new, you will be buying a vehicle that Nissan NZ can support which can’t be said for some of the used imports.

If you are going to be carrying passengers in the rear, check the seatbelt configuration as the centre rear may be a lap belt only.

Ask an expert
