I was given this truck to drive as soon as I got my license, and so far it's been a fantastic first car. Since first buying it ten years ago, we've put roughly 78,000 miles, driving the odometer up to 150,000 or so as a daily driver. So far it's been fairly reliable, fun to drive, as well as a great car to learn stick in. Pros- Great interior ergonomics, decent power, great transmission, reliability, comfortable, rugged looks. Cons- Terrible gas mileage (I average 14 MPG or so), cramped backseat, poor acceleration Overall I would recommend this truck if you're looking for a well put-together compact pickup

I purchased this truck for over-the- road traveling. It has been a terrific truck for me. I have used it for some limited hauling. I am not a small guy. It is very comfortable for me. I would have liked 4 doors, and the cruise control "on" button is in a strange place. That is the only thing that has been an issue for me. The comfort, reliability, and the build of this truck is second to none. The styling is far superior to any of the competition. My truck looks more beefy, with more design, while the others look more boxy and cheap. I would recommend this truck to anyone. Who ever gets this truck next, even with 150000 miles will get a very nice looking truck, and one that is mechanically so

This truck has been reliable in the sense that it has not broken down. But I have had many problems with the front end (loose torsion bar, sway bar end links breaking loose 3 times). Now my steering needs an alignment. I took it to Foothill Nissan to have my automatic transmission serviced and they overfilled it, causing it to leak all over the undercarriage. My driver side window has always rattled. The windows fog up easily (unlike other trucks I have had). Heat always comes out of the vent, even when you have it on cold. The front fenders dent easily. It is a really great looking truck, but I think they need to work on the quality.
