Good Points

Very easy to park, comfortable and supportive seats, headlights, driving position, good offroad performance, great size for 2-3 persons on weekend trips, on dash drink holders.

Bad Points

Dials being in the centre of the dash, steering is too light on the highway, speedo and other dials have a lot of reflections, climate aircon controls are positioned too low.

General Comments

I have owned the vehicle for one month and travelled approximately 2000km. It is an easy and comfortable vehicle to drive although the centre mounted dials are annoying when driving in traffic. This is not a case of getting use to it, it simply takes longer than a conventional dash to check your speed in traffic. I will not buy another vehicle with this feature. The dials can be difficult to read due to reflections, especially the airconditioning controls which are often impossible to read. The climate aircon controls are situated too low and are not easy to adjust whilst driving. The seats are good as is the driving position, however the steering is too light on the highway. The 2.5lt engine has sufficient power and works well with the auto. It is a surprisingly competent and comfortable vehicle to drive on rough tracks and I had no problems getting into fishing spots that you could not take a conventional two wheel drive vehicle.

    Spot on about the dashboard. What a shame that such a fine car is spoilt by a penny pinching idea behind a central instrument pod. I can only imagine that it saves Nissan some money on left and right hand cars having everything up the middle, but the dials are too far away from the drivers eye and all the ventilationcontrols and CD underneath are down right dangerous.
