Used 2016 Nissan Frontier Consumer Reviews

Nice rental but I wouldn't buy it.

I've had the 2016 rental 3 weeks while my car is getting repaired from an accident. I enjoy driving the truck as it has plenty of power and handles very well, but the mileage is nowhere near its EPA rating. I'm getting only 12-15 mpg with 2/3rd of more of my driving on highways. A lot of full size trucks do better. What really surprised me is the lack of small features I've grown accustomed to in my GM vehicles. The lights are manual - you have to turn them on and off. C'mon! I had a 2003 Chevy S10 pickup (base work truck model) that had automatic lights. This Frontier is a loaded model and it doesn't have this feature. It also lacks a vehicle travel computer showing instantaneous and average speeds and gasoline consumption, miles until empty, etc., nor an outside temperature readout. I read through the manual to find out if they are hidden behind some function on the radio/info center. Every GM vehicle I've had since 2007 has all these as standard on every model and trim level. Also, it didn't have the rear camera, though the manual indicated some models have it. I expected it on a loaded 4wd full cab 4x4. Again, a feature that GM is making standard on all vehicles.

If this truck was a woman,i would marry her..

If your looking for a real vaule in a 4&4 and power to work and haul this is it ,be carefull with this power plant,it can get out from under you.my lady burns rubber all the time,getting on interstate at speed is very easy.i,m 72 yrs young and a mechanic,love this thing.some talk about steering,i have no problem,i hunt out west and 3000 mile round trip,evert thing works great.

Big mistake

Traded in Xterra, should not have. Frontier gets bounced around when semi trucks pass. Feel every bump in the road. Terrible gas mileage for a smaller truck. Would not recommend.

Clean

I test drove it and walked away

This is a nice mid sized truck, however the brake pedal is very sponge and goes down almost to the floor. We checked with the service manager and said the brakes are designed that way. Also I felt the controls were confusing, remembering I did not have a chance to really study them. I'll keep my Silverado.
