Advantages: A Car that likes hard work! Disadvantages: Can be a hazard to your life sometimes
I have been using the Nissan pick up for around 3 months now and have had lots of time to test it off and on road. Due to my job I needed a vehicle that could take me to building sites situated in hills where there are not yet any roads. Also I needed space to carry many tools and supplies for the sites. The pick up was bought by my company (for this reason I will not be able to comment on prices).
When I first drove it I realized just how much ... ...that you think it might explode sometimes. The power is all very well though I found the control did not meet my expectation most of the time. For starters you can switch between 2 wheel, 4 high and 4 low modes. Naturally when going and coming to the building sites I use the 2 wheel mode until I get to the ruff off road parts.

The Navara is actually the best handling pick up of the lot. It's reasonable to maintain, not as thirsty on fuel as some of the competition and more versatile.
... ...lot of time in my pick-up and I have to say that it is generally comfortable and practical and is the best towing vehicle I have ever owned. In fact, the only real downsides are the very basic equipment levels on low to mid range models and the number of early models that required timing chain tensioner replacement (albeit usually under warranty).
If you're looking for a pre-owned example, watch out as a lot of these vehicles are owned by farmers ...

Advantages: beast Disadvantages: no air con or electric windows
...from the east and my nissan navara 2.5 di is a great run around and work horse. she does have the tendency to get thirsty when in a rush but the outstanding red that mine is in gives her some devilishness. i love herand i hope the feeling is mutual. i have over loaded her before and she didnt moan or groan but just got on with the job. i dont mind driving her when its wet or when its bone dry. im quite happy going on long journeys. ok, she may not ...
