Noisy Fun

The truck is fun to drive, has excellent acceleration, decent gas mileage but is very noisy. Not wind noise but road noise. Can barely hear radio unless it's above 15 on the volume scale and higher than that if the AC is on high. It is like they forgot to install the roof insulation.

I think this is a great truck. It is a great value compared to the Tacoma and the Colorado which is overpriced in my opinion. There are not many small trucks to choose from anymore. I get an average of 16 mpg city and 19 hwy. if you are looking for gas mileage, this is not the vehicle for you. It is a very solid and strong feeling truck and you sit up higher than you would think. The front seats are very comfortable, I would not want to sit in the back of the extended cab (king cab) with the seats that flip down. Its great for 2 people but if you have kids I would go for a crew cab. I feel like I am in a full sized truck. I paid around $35k when everything was said and done and that includes a 100k warranty and all taxes. I like the way it looks and I think the interior is nice, my only complaint is no auto headlights! what is up with that? I have to remember to turn on my lights which I haven't had to do in years. otherwise it has everything one would need. Navigation, back up camera, Bluetooth, heated seats, that's all I could ask for. I would highly recommend. I Would like to add, my husband is 6'3 and 220 and he is very comfortable in this truck.

I have had my Nissan truck for a year and a half and it has 43500 miles on it. I commute 48 miles each way to work. The gas mileage is on average about 16MPG. I purchased this truck for a couple of reasons. After a bunch of negotiation, I got the price down to $27,300 which is about as low as it gets for a nicely loaded 4x4 truck. You probably could do better due to every other manufacturer that makes one having an updated small truck. The interior craftsmanship is poor. The glove box/door panels are susceptible to scratching and the center console latch broke very early on. I had the same issue with my wife's Nissan Quest. The dash rattles. The rear doors don't close well. The seats are comfy (I'm 6'04" - 240 lbs), seat warmers are nice and the web material is nice but the back seat is way too small for long trips with even small-medium sized passengers. I have three kids and I shuttle them to and from school so it works out. Longer trips, they are complaining. The storage under the rear seat is nice. I just got back from vacation and found a puddle of rain water inside the truck. The antenna for the XM radio has come loose and water leaked into the truck from the roof. Luckily, no headliner damage. The dealer wouldn't fix it despite being 18 months old because of the mileage and neither will Nissan. (Nissan has poor customer service.) Oddly, it doesn't have an oil change meter. I use the second trip odometer. The truck runs wells, has good power. For a rear wheel drive truck, it handles well. The ABS works great (I had some evasive driving recently and was impressed.) I have the rails in the truck bed and they are a nice option. For what I paid for it, it works well. When I added gasoline and maintenance estimates, it was by far cheaper than the Colorado or the Toyota.

had a2008 ford f-150 and u can quote me on this . this frontier is like a tiger tank vs. a outdated grant tank when comparing the frontier sv v-6 to the f-150 v-6 . the ford was repair almost daily . the frontier is all I ever expected it to be. great truck. just the right size and it fits into the garage without having to get out and closing the mirrors. well worth the cost of buying . updated review as follows: very pleased with the truck . its the down east beast . this is an update: got 10000 mi. on it and it suits us fine. no problems . 05 -31-18

I have just under 21K miles on the truck. Last year the dealership replaced the alternator, and last week they replaced the AC compressor because the clutch was so harsh you could hear the growl down the block. Now the power steering pump needs to be replaced according to the dealer. I wouldn't buy another one, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone else.
