Wyfitms Twincharged November 23, 2012 Share November 23, 2012 A friend just bought a 2nd hand lafesta (2006 registered) for $30k. My wife was crazy about that car cos she's been complaining that the sedan i'm driving is so cramp for passengers etc etc. A $30k mpv sounds too good to be true. Did a search on the forum and couldnt find any negative report on this car. Any bros here who have a 6 yr old lafesta? Any major issue with the car? Thanks! ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, no major issue (normal oil change only) ...the electric sliding door and built-in GPS is plus points for the car. Spacious and practical for daily usage...:) Moreover, cheaper in price as compared to other MPV....:) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallaw819 4th Gear November 23, 2012 Share November 23, 2012 30k is cheap. Good car. Very spacious inside. Good torque and fc is around 10-11km per l. Better check the suspension before buying as very ex(1000) to replace as not many around. The sliding door very useful especially rwining day.

TVT Supercharged November 23, 2012 Share November 23, 2012 This car not many on the roads, probably that's why not much comments on it. It is spacious but I am not sure if the 3rd row is comfortably to sit in. It also has no 3rd row aircon vents... Did you get the model with see-thru top?

Enye Hypersonic November 23, 2012 Share November 23, 2012 Nissan MPVs very under-rated compared to Toyota and Honda hence they are quite good value buys imho Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyfitms Twincharged November 26, 2012 Author Share November 26, 2012 Thanks all for the comments. My friend showed me her receipt and it was 38K lar! I think for rich tais tais, 30K and 38K no diff... But yes, it was a moonroof version and mileage was ard 140K (dunno if the agent got adjust or not but seems normal mileage). She's enjoying the car, saying that it's spacious, hence i am quite tempted to look ard for one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kukuter Neutral Newbie January 24, 2013 Share January 24, 2013 (edited) Hi guys i cannot start new topic so i will add to this thread. I jus bought a 2ndhand 2006 Lafesta.

Kukuter Neutral Newbie January 28, 2013 Share January 28, 2013 Hey guys. My FC i clock around 8km/l.... is it normal? I gonna bring it to service. Anything to tale note? Anything need replacecause i see people say they get 10-11km per liter. Is there something wrong with my car? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagoutz Neutral Newbie February 1, 2013 Share February 1, 2013 I have owned a second hand Lafesta for just over a month. I was interested in the fuel economy so I have kept careful records of fuel used and distance over the past 1203km. I have used 94.35 litres of fuel in this time. This gives average fuel consumption of: 12.75 km per litre 7.84 litres/100km 36.02 miles/gallon This has been mixed journeys, some long some short, some air con on all the time, sometimes aircon off. One thing puzzles me though, does the Lafesta have a "Low Fuel Light" on the dashboard? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achtung 6th Gear February 1, 2013 Share February 1, 2013 It has third row vent. Common problems are: The availability of shock absorbers in SG. I went Hk hand carry back. The sliding door motor... At 6 years it started to give problems n replacement cost 2k plus. Driver air bag spiral wire. The airbag light keeps turning on. Had to change wire. The ignition coil... When u drive n stop. At d position brake , see if the car surges forward lightly.... Tyres cannot use 225 for 18 inches. Full lock will rub inside. That's all I remember for now. My mum drives the moon roof model n I service for her. On 11/23/2012 at 4:33 AM, TVT said: This car not many on the roads, probably that's why not much comments on it.
