Ok so maybe not a focus ST anymore but a..
« on: 22 December 2009, 17:02:58 »

Nissan Navara, what they like experience, my man has got one for sale and I'm quite interested in it 56 plate, Navara aventura, sat-nav, BOSE, the lot leather etc.

It's got 38k miles and is very nice 22" chrome alloys and it's black but I said he could keep the alloys and bullbar if he takes some money off?

Anyone have experience with them?

Walked into that didn't I  ;D ;D

He's asking £10295 I said I'll give you £8500 if you keep alloys and bullbar, but it's really got me into the Idea of them in Aventura spec  :-/

they used them on Long Way down with Ewan & Charlie, looked capable  :)

I had a Nissan as a first car, did 25k in it, never checked the oil, filters, or anything. Never let me down!

Mother tunnies spare car is a Nissan Almera, bit dull, if i am honest, but its been bullet proof in reliability  :)

You can't go wrong with Japanese and Nissan. We have had an Almera and Almero Tino too. They don't run in till 40,000 miles and don't go wrong. Can be a bit tinny though but then again the Japanese seem to use thinner metal on their cars?

The only problem I've had with the Almera's is the tyres wearing out on the inside edge.

Yeah i'd go with that, not the solid feel you get from the Omega.

I do like it a lot but don't know if I want a lot of my money tied up in cars  :-/ May look for a cheaper one or just go with this one. O I dunno.

Yes, nissan's designs are a bit cheap'n cheerful. We had a micra that broke its cam chain, and used to rattle like a bag of spanners thereafter.

having the aerodynamics of a brick, fuel comsumption will not be good  :P

we have navarras as the salesmens cars at work and yes they go well, but the servicing bills are extortionate and the fuel they go through is unbelievable, but on the other hand they have never had a major problem yet and the two we have are over 100k on them

Height not really an issue round here, Clarkson used a Toyota Hi-Lux.
