Hi folks

Had my Navara Visia now for 2 months from new so thought I would tell you about it as when I searched the Internet I couldn't find many owner reviews, so here goes and hope I don't bore too many of you.

Performance: Not quick off the mark as only 144bhp but once wound up OK, pulls very strongly in each gear

Comfort: Very comfortable in front and nice driving position, usually takes me ages to get comfy but this was spot on from day one, not sat in back but others say a bit bumpy but not that bad, drove from Leeds to Blackpool without too many complaints with family and a puppy Springer.

Running Costs: Doing about 30 mpg with just over 1000 miles on the clock and paid for a service plan through Nissan which I think is going to save me some money over the next 3 years, Insurance was ÂŁ30 per annum more than my 1.7 CDTI Sri Astra.

Quality: No rattles from inside the cab which drives me nuts, but had clanging noise from the Tub but this has quietened down now after fitting a Tri-Fold tonneau cover. Seat material is very poor and easily clicks so don't think it would stand up well to commercial use.

Kit: Got most things I need including Bluetooth, Air-con, 4 electric windows, basic trip computer, only has 4 speakers in the front but the sound quality is still good. The wing mirrors are not heated, there are no sun visor mirrors and the interior dash lights don't come on unless you have the lights on, not sure if this is just specific to my model.

Verdict: I use it as a car so quite heavy maneuvering against our other car an Astra Estate but you soon get used to it, I just take it steady, not out to win races and wouldn't win one anyway, I love the elevated driving position and can't wait to drive it, for the price I paid for it I would have just been able to buy a basic Focus, so it's a no brainer for me, love it to bits.

Hope this helps anyone thinking of buying one, by the way I didn't test drive one before I bought as everything was done over the phone so was taking a gamble, but it paid off, read all the reviews on here so decided it must be good. :clappy:
