Bad Transmission, Engine Mounts, and Control Arms

January 28, 2021
By Jake S from Whittier, CA

I bought this car at 78k miles and need to replace the transmission, engine mounts, and control arms at 96k miles. I would not recommend this vehicle.

No issues with it so far!

By Clemmyu from South Gate, CA
Owns this car

I had a 2006 car so this one was a huge upgrade. I haven't had my Nissan for very long but I'm loving it. It rides very smooth and there's plenty of legroom and it's comfortable and many many more great things! Love the media center and all ports and connections and such. I could go on but basically, I strongly recommend this car.

Larger than most small econos

Very comfortable and lots of leg room front and back. Luggage are very versatile. Better gas milieage, more powerful, and roomier than the Chevrolet Spark I replaced with it.
