i think it's a decent car.

 

BUT.. you get what u pay for. what's the price of sunny vs other jap cars in that cat (altis, honda city, avante..)?

[Nighthawkcity]

no frills car.. drove for a couple of months before in 2004, think the design is simple and ok bah

[Smartmax85]

first question i would like to ask u. are u buying a sunny?

if yes then i would say it's a very good car for it;s price.

1.made in japan

2.less than 50k

3.pick up is quite good

4.decent interior

 

the downside

1.rear legroom small

2.FC slightly higher (11-12km/l)

 

for the amount, this would be a good buy.

 

i am sure there are many good comments not posted too =)

we can't re-command but can only give recommendations if you can share yr budget/requirements.

 

my 2nd car is a pre-owned '99 auto nissan. fc 10-11 for 1 full tank. rather solid n value for money car. good things abt this model is ease in getting recon parts.

Hey, had took over a Nissian and had drove for almost a year. Previously was driving a proton pick up.

 

Had read the reviews provided in the link:

here is my share, if u r gg for a new car, then I think u should keep away from this if u often nid to ferry 5 pax. Because, the sunny has not went to the extend of removing the "hump" at the leg rest of the back centre seat.

Other cars at this price which had achieved this could be from Toyota from Honda. I am not too sure for Mazda.

 

As for FC: I think generally speaking, it is not as good as other cars but decent.

 

Travel: I had drove this car at 160km-180km/hr before on the NSHW. With 4 pax on board, I would say it is rather stable.

 

Ok, regards!

well actually i not buying it cause i already have one , even though it does not belong to me i personal found it very good and i like it very much but after reading most of the comment by the others owner i been wondering is the car really that good or just my personal opinion

[Boxster]

This fellow dare to claim that he own 2 models 4 2 yrs mentioning vibration issues.

Wonder if he ever know what is wheel balancing.

 

"Owned 2 models of the Sunny, an EX Saloon and SS Saloon, for 2 years each, same model just different engines and interior specs.

 

I noticed both models were plagued by high-speed stability issues. At speeds of >90km/h, the whole car will shudder and vibrate like a spacecraft re-entering earth. Probably due to poor tyre choice or the poor chassis."

[Silverjoe]

Most said it is a reliable car but, the old model has poor FC.

[Emils]

It's definitely not a truly lousy car. It just seems like one when compared with higher-end cars...

[Smartmax85]

dun let other opinion affect u. i also driving 1. also very happy with it.

dun let other opinion affect what u tink. if u urself like it very much, then follow ur

heart. my opinion is i like it very much. good pick up. stable at expressway.

i love my sunny

[Fcw75]

Maybe this bugger dun even know how to open the bonnet. Maybe never check engine oil level in his lifetime.

[Jazz]

Second this. It quite a reliable car. My cons only apply to poor FC for AT and behind leg room abit inadequate.

I used to drive a N16.

Positive comments - 1) Pretty good pick-up

2) Stable

3) Reliable engine

 

Negative comments - 1) Very bad FC

2) Rear leg space is small

 

Hope it helps in your enquiries.

[Niteek]

Agree even though i like the car very much , i somehow cannot stop thinking of the comment make by others owner which led me wondering is sunny really a good car but i tink i have a clear answer in my mind now

[Carmour]

Dont think Nissan Sunny you can get 10-11km/L.

 

The one I drove for a few weeks gets me only 9km/L. Alot of other Sunny drivers also feedback to me that they definitely don't get anything close to 11km/L.
