Good value for money

I purchased Nissan Sunny XV model 2 weeks back and done nearly 1000 KMs. Following are my reviews.

Exterior Well designed Shape. XV model comes with fog lamps, electrically adjustable mirrors, alloy wheels. Gives a feel of luxury segment car (Toyota Corolla, Skoda Laura  etc. ). Everyone will be eying on your car, be careful!!!

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Undoubtedly it has huge interior space. Even the front seats are push back, back seats has more than enough leg room.  One of my friend who is above 6 feet tall could able to sit comfortably. Seating height is conveniently paced so that we can go in and come out without bending. Back seat has cup-holder and  fitted with blower to pull A/C from front. We can switch the fan ON/OFF from back set the desired speed. XV model comes with power windows, integrated clear view instrument cluster for driver, which gives odometer, fuel gauge, mileage calculation, door ajar warning  & much more. CD player & Steering mount audio , however USB or iPOD connectivity is missing. Automatic A/C which is sensitive to outside temperature variations. All these feature gives a rich feel to driver. There are many more feature like keyless entry/start, SRS airbags which you will find in Nissan India website.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox One cannot notice any sound when engine is running under  2500 RPM.  First & second gears pickup is less when I compare with Honda city, but in the 4 & 5th gears ( >3000 RMP) I felt it delivers good power and engine responds linearly. Indian version of Sunny is tuned for optimal mileage and power. One can use this car for cruising not for racing. Which suites to my requirement. Gear shifting was bit tight initially, but after driving 100 kms, it all settled down.

Ride Quality & Handling Road grip is very good, driver gets a secure feeling on road. Even I took a bend at 110 KmPH speed  no noticeable body roll. Suspension is very good, even the car goes over path hole, you  will not feel the impact.  Since ABS is fitted (in all versions), the breaking is perfect.

Final Words Overall, I like the car now more than before I bought it. I feel satisfied for the value I got for my hard-earned money (even for XV variant). I spent another Rs 25,000 on accessories  and got leather covers, headset DVD display and reverse parking camera with display.

Areas of improvement Audio system can be improved to have USB & iPOD connectivity. Bluetooth connectivity to mobile would be a nice feature to add. I hope Nissan will comeup with an option of factory fitted LPG kit in future, which is a special requirement for India.

Good value for money. Large Space & reliable band name Nissan. Designed for family.Missing outright power for racing and over taking
