Nissan Pixo owner reviews

"It's one of Britain's cheapest new cars, and with its functional, no frills interior and lacklustre engine. Problem is, it feels it too..."

Average car prone to niggly problems. Expected more from nissan. Decent ride, handling and economy but let down by cabin noise.

Bought 1 month ago, was 3 yrs old with 17k, a possible suspect quiet front wheel bearing noise has become a loud drone 1000 miles on, to be replaced shortly. Also exhaust sometimes sounds a bit raspy, there are stories about engine mounts failing prematurely on these cars. Also when buying the car, it had the common problem of the rear wash wipe dripping into the driver's footwell, fixed before I picked up the car.

Bought for short trips 5-10 miles per day, for 4 years it has done the job. Problems 1. It does not like snow - the electrics just die. 2. The ABS is a bit noisy but works.3. It copes with rain & floods if you dry it out afterwards.4 The electric power for ancillaries like window opening is insufficient. Good Value.
