Smart automobiles products are microcars which have unique concept and design. The phrase "smart car" is seen a lot in today's auto press. The term typically means an automobile with "advanced electronic" technology. But if some cars are smart, it is only logical to think that some must be idiotic, also. Some of the industry sites have recently chosen vehicles they thought were "dumb." here are the ones we agree with. You might like to make use of the low car loans rates for a new smart car.

i've been admired this bike for a quite some time and still can't afford to buy a new one. It cost about RM 63K in my country and yes it's staggering amount for this 400 c.c. bike. So later on i search for the used unit a 1998 model Version S from neighbouring country and lucky that i found this for RM10K with 50K km on the odometer.

So now i'm still negotiating with present owner and got to have a few spin b4 the ownership changing hand but i'm really sure tht i'll buy this beauty. I can't resist any longer. This beauty still can reach top @ 210 km/hr as said by the owner, i don't know but to beleive him. :)

Hey! It is a pity that the reviewer did not test drive the Soul at night. On the Australian models there is no dimmer for the instrument panel lights so they are fully bright while one is trying to see into the dark. Makes driving at night a real hazard.

Hope they can find a fix for this issue.

To whom it may concern

We purchased a nissan ute with 28,000km on it and within a few weeks it broke down ,in saying that this is not the problem its the service we are not getting 8 weeks later and extreme cost to use we can get no further than to be told lies on top of lies.We own the car in mention and yet we seem to have no say in the fact of what goes on and as for your customer service there is none .They can not do or say anything to help use resolve this problem.Iam at this time saying to you that the goulburn branch run by Mr Paul Dunn is the worst place of business i have ever been involved in.I have written this email in full knowing it will not be answered but i will any way what is one more person who is not prepared to do there job.I have a small but growing business of my own and to bye a nissan again will be a complete no and as fare as a recomandation to other people that would also be out.I couldnt let enyone think that it would be a good idea to bye nissan again.I am sorry this could not be a thank you for the service letter and have not in this life laid a complant against any one or business before i will not be expecting a reply i have learnt that nissan does not care and will be taking this to whom ever will lissen.

Kind Regards

Hi there, I've owned a 2.5 TD Sorento for neally 2 years now all good so far only done 28,000 ks, can any body tell me which is the correct oil to put in the engine, I'm chainging the oil and filter around every 5-6000 ks. Love the car a bit bouncy but tows my 14ft Jayco Freedom pop top and returns about 12 litre per 100 ks while towing. Rusty Boy

Daryl Francis — Fri, 02 Sep 2011 08:25:12 +0000

After almost 2 years, I like this car more every time I take it out. It is very quiet on the open road - which is most of my driving - and handles well. I've read reviews that say the steering is too light "for" the open road. I suspect those reviewers have never taken the car outside the metro area! At higher speeds there is hardly, if any power assist. Its weighting is excellent, and it goes exactly where it's pointed. My brother who is an Alfa enthusiast was more than impressed with its handling. Always blown away by its economy on runs. Moving along at 110kph + (I know, I know... ) it never returns less than 7.5l/100km. A/C and sound system are excellent. If you cna't get comfy in it... well, I don't know what that says about you ;-)

I've had many different cars over the years. Some great, but horribly expensive European ones too. The kia is the most sensible and enjoyable package so far.

Looks great too.

If you're thinking about one, take one out, and make your own mind up about it - unless you depend on other people's prejudices to make your decisions for you. You'll probably save about $15.000.

Dundee Park — Tue, 23 Aug 2011 03:45:04 +0000

This is my Don't Buy Nissan banner. Since Dan Thompson won''t respond we should all go to him. I will be doing this eventually. Call me 07 40685888 or sms 0439901351 if you want to join me.
Dan, recall this vehicle PLEASE.
Does the Vin number: VSKCVND40A0237716 mean anything to anybody?

Dundee Park — Tue, 23 Aug 2011 03:34:58 +0000

I have paid $3,3580 under protest for the clutch and parts. The car is diplaying the beginning of the problem that I have had before - loss of acceleration at the beginning. The dealer is now saying that it might be the hydraulics. I am demanding a recall. As usual Dan Thompson is hiding behind the Customer Service personnel and the Dealer.
I have staged a lone protest on 20 August outlside the dealer's shop. It was Market day so I got maximum exposure and a lot of support. Got a permit from the traffic police. I handed out lemons to remind people not to buy Nissan 4x4 lemons. I will be displaying the Don't Buy Nissan and Nissan Suck wherever I park/drive.

Vincent Marty — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 04:02:19 +0000

We purchased a Dualis+2 two months ago, while the car experience is great and so far has been good, the experience with the account person was less than impressive with us conned to have an interest of 15% and more recently we found out that the dealer didn't organise our car insurance ...two months after we paid the dealer the full yearly insurance premiun. ...Yet that person find the way to lie to us saying everything was in order and was paid months ago...one day later I found out that they just paid the isurance ...8 weeks late...several emails were unanswered...really bad customer service ...people like this can only in Australia, in Europe or even Asia they won't get a job, too lazy and uncompetent....something to think about Mr Dan Thompson..I suggest a review of the contract signing with the customers to sign ALL pages presented so nobody can be conned the way we were.

Dundee Park — Mon, 01 Aug 2011 00:25:46 +0000

Dear Mr Thompson,
I have requested twice for a direct reply but nothing so far. I have a '77 Navara,4x4, 2.4L TDSL STX DC. The Disc Assy-Clutch, Cover Assy-clut, BRG C/release, Bushing Gear and Flywheel Assy have had to be replaced 3 times within July 10 and July 11. The last replacement was17/6/11 3000kms after the replacement on 18/2/11. Taylors , your car dealer, has been holding on to the car for 45 days now and will not release it until the $3,325.00 is paid. I have volunteered to pay for the labour. The driver is said to be riding the clutch. I am the main driver and I do not ride the clutch. Also if I may now, i may have to go through this problem again some time down the track. Please respond to this problem now. Thanks, Lina Bauer, Educational Pty Ltd. Phone 07 40685888, dundeeparkacademy@yahoo.com.au, 0439901351

Sinclair Oldfield — Tue, 10 May 2011 13:14:37 +0000

Dear Dan
Do you ever reply to any complaints about Nissan Cars left on this site, we are the regretful owners of a Nissan Patrol St Diesel 2011 have had the PLEASURE of dealing with four different Nissan Dealers over four weeks one less than 15hrs after we left with the car. Managed to get 24klms on the clock before it stopped have had nothing but problems with it, have little respect for the dealer we purchased the car from not big on the truth.We now have 1800klms and having it fixed again tomorrow We HOPE ? not a great fan of your customer service. Would be great if they would do what they say they are going to do instead of letting you drive two hundred klms to be told by the service centre they never received a call. Will regret for a very long long time buying this LEMON. But nissan will keep fixing this car as you do have a responsability to sell the the car for which it was purchased and that was to be driven.

I have had my Kia Cerato for 2 years now and I love it. People regularly comment on how good it looks and I have even been told it looks like a BMW on the road. I drive 110kms every day to work and I love having an efficient, reliable, stylish and comfortable drive.
