I purchased this 2016 4 cylinder frontier with the value package New in may of 2017 in North Carolina i was looking at the Titan but the king cab was not out at the time. The dealership had this 4 cylinder on the lot that had been sitting since last year and no buyers. Nissan offered me 3k in rebates and the dealership gave me a sweet deal for 16.100 plus tax and license fee still came out below 17 grand. In july i moved to New Mexico and drove the frontier all the way no problems on that trip and a great break in. fuel mileage was not the best but still had 19 mpg on the hwy. as of date i have only 4.100 miles on it and getting 19 combine and 23 hwy. only problems i need to take to the dealer for the driver seat broke and air conditioner not blowing ice cold. Other then that I'm very happy with the frontier and would give it a honest thumbs UP...

My new 2016 Frontier is missing a bunch of padding near the backrest in the drivers seat. Feels like you are sitting in a hole and hurts my back. Nissan is not willing to replace or repair the seat. Passengers seat has the padding and is comfortable. 100% dissatisfied with Nissan Customer Service. I purchased a new 2011 Frontier and was very happy with the truck, so purchased a new 2016 exact copy. Both driver and passenger seats on the 2011 were identical and comfortable. After dealing with Nissan Customer Service, I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN PRODUCT! The dealer and Nissan indicated they would write no more repair/complaints. So much for the LEMON LAW!

First, this truck is has retained the same basic design for two decades, so all the bugs have been worked out. Second, the only other truck like it in its class is the Toyota Tacoma, but you pay a $12,000 premium for one of those. And the Frontier has significant advantages: this truck has the tightest steering in its class. Having read a review in Edmunds, and having driven ALL the Frontier's competitors, I have no idea what is meant when Edmunds refers to "heavy steering." I took this new truck, with its 6-speed manual up Ute Pass on US 24 west of Colorado Springs. This stretch comprises 14 miles of 30-45 speed zones with very tight mountain turns and switchbacks. Here the 30-45 speed limits are realistic, not restrictive. Yet I took this new Frontier Pro 4X at 65 mph the entire way and did not slip or slide once. The frame is slightly shorter and wider than the Frontier's competitors, so it held the road that much better. I cannot say enough good about the handling of this truck. The Bilstein suspension makes it handle better and deliver a far smoother ride than its Isuzu/Colorado/Canyon/Tacoma competition. Moreover, while the US manufacturers are busy forcing automatic transmissions down our individual and collective throats whether we want them or not, Nissan was doing it right by offering this superb, proven vehicle in its 2016 off-road version. My gas mileage average in-town is 17/18, but combined driving I average 19-20. I have had higher from my 2007 Isuzu I-370, which I bought new 17 years ago, but the Pro4X is geared lower, since it is an off-road vehicle. So, for those who want a superb on-and-off-road vehicle with superior power and handling AND a manual transmission, I recommend this version of the Frontier above all others. Unfortunately, since I first published this review, Nissan has discontinued the standard manual transmission offering in this model, so I will keep mine. Oh, and the signature cloth seats with the Pro-4X logo are far more comfortable than the leather seat option. Finally, I have learned that Nissan is discontinuing their manual transmissions for this model. That is a real bummer. Toyota still offers a manual on their Tacomas--but you have to order that from the factory and it takes at least 6 months. Toyota also carries a $15,000 mark-up over the Nissan.
