If you join the club, u can see A lot of ppl having issue with the cvt gearbox and nissan service center have change the gearbox. Some of the car, after change the gearbox.. It's only resolve the jerking issue for a while and then come back. Recently service center say the problem is resolved for vehicle manufactured after January 2016 but for those 2013 model will be in bad situation because this car only have 3 years warranty and this year their last year. If the gearbox damage again after warranty then they have to fork out almost 25k to change the gearbox without any warranty its wont happen again. For me.. I will avoid to purchase this until the problem resolved.

Thinking about buying this.
Notice gearbox jerking is one of its common problems.
How to verify that it is manufactured after January 2016? hmm.gif

not sure also ... now the salesperson always said no problem for 2016 batch
but most of previous 2013-2015 model ,, happened after 1 year or 2 years  (if happen within warranty period then consider lucky)
but if happen after 3 years warranty --- must fork out 30k to change the cvt gearbox.
I will only buy this car if nissan provide 5 years warranty.

Wow ... thanks for the respond!
I'm not looking at the fuel consumption. Use to have a Ford 1.8liter van before, so I understand hauling 8 blokes and expecting good FC doesn't make sense.

Like the air-conditioning which is great even in the 3rd row.

I only which it can be a little spacious on the driver side.

How heavy is your tint for the back passenger areas? Any shades?

I also gather this MPV needs additional door seal to reduce wind noise, is that correct?

You definitely need safety tint since there are lots of glass on all four corners. For UV and well as safety protection.

Window seal does not come with it be default, it is an add on. Don't think is is really needed

More importantly, I think a good ICE with read view camera is required. Unfortunately, I don't like the one that I have added on that comes with Tan Chong. For something that cost RM3.5K, I'm pretty sure after market shop can give better quality

The one that comes with the car have gps?

For your future reference, those ice and most car accessories cost is only 30% of the markup price. cry.gif
