QUOTE(contestchris @ May 31 2017, 08:26 PM) I'm thinking of buying my first brand new car soon, and I'm kinda gravitating towards getting a Nissan. While I'm going my research and asking around, I thought I could drop by here and seek input from the knowledgeable people of this sub-forum. 1) As a brand, how are Nissan's cars viewed at in terms of reliability in Malaysia? 2) What about their after sales support and servicing? Is it decent? 3) Overall, for the lower end segment, assuming I am fine with the looks and pricing is it fine to go with a Nissan or is there good reason I should be forgoing it and going for a Toyota/Honda? Thanks! Honestly speaking, if you want to go for the Almera just because of the low price, I'd suggest getting the new Persona Premium instead. Its a better car in almost every aspect. If you can pay more, then a Honda City or Mazda 2 would make more sense.

My family had nissan cars over the past 10 years. and as other forummers mentioned, TC after sales service is really good. Even during Sunday you can send in your car for service for a full day ( at least at the PJ branch).
But just that comparing their car specs and techs to all the latest cars from other Japanese companies, Nissan just feels really underwhelming.

I think more reliable than Honda but Toyota is the winner.
Service level quite good and flexible too.
Their reputation not as strong due to absence of models after the Sunny.
Nissan parts is cheaper than Toyota or Honda SC. There are also TanChong parts for those on the budget.

QUOTE(Jet23sky @ Jun 2 2017, 08:54 AM) I have Nissan Almera from Tan Chong. To tell you the truth, the after sale is really really good. These car dealers are not just people like, after you bought the car and they will ignore you. They will help you if you need help like, car break down, some issue with cars etc. According the car dealer, Slyphy is going to obsolete and replaced with another car, but not sure when. The spare parts wise, so far I have not had any issue that required the parts to be change until now ( Around 5 years already ). So I can say, Nissan is quite durable at my end. Agree, even when they fail to fix, they will entertain with a smile till problems solved. Not like other brand, can't fix then taichi back to customers, give 10 yrs warranty also useless.

Yes Nissan the after sales service is good. I would say the cars like x-trail or teana is worth it. Almera is a cheap car so its not a looker or for driving fast. Most Nissan is family n very Japanese, so comfort at legal speed limits is great. I personally think Honda feels cheap n plastic. You could consider a VW if you drive on highways alot and want a 2nd car. Vento is really worth it now. Allstar/Comfortline 1.6 is below RM80k. 5 yrs warranty n free maintenance. Go check it out. Of course design even more boring.

QUOTE(vexus @ Jun 3 2017, 09:33 AM) VW maintenance cost very high. Minor service rm800++, Major rm2k++ Cheap car but slaughtering after sales service, what the point????? 15k km per service. Its about the same with the Nissan maybe extra rm100 to 300. I own an Almera, on paper if you can stick to minimum service price of course it is cheap. But as a new car owner u tend to spend more than that. My minor approx rm400 - 600. Major approx rm700 - 1200. That was why I suggested Vento, it comes with 5yrs free maintenance. Also VW can drive better than my almera at least. Well different needs different preferance. Unless u plan to own the car more than 5 yrs wich does not comes with free maintenance. Then dont get the VW.

nissan is a good car ... to drive , comfort & realibility SC also good & part price is reasonable and some part cheaper than other japanese car brand. only the exterior design is bit different but that up to personal taste. Interior space & material is also better.

To my knowledge, only Nissan SC's allow you to bring in your own parts and they will charge labor for the replacement. Anyone know if that has changed recently ?

I dont think any offical SC will do that unless its a 3rd party "approved SC". Beacuse the offical SC hv a limited time warranty for ori parts compared to other workshops. They need to do business, impossible they let u do that.

I drive a Teana XL 2014, It's a reliable car that gives no problem at all. However the only set back is servicing fee at Tan Chong is on the high side.

This year Tan Chong management has confirmed that there will be one brand new model introduced into the Malaysian market. According to MIDF research, this hints closely to the Nissan Kicks. I doubt it will be the Nissan Qashqai, though you never know.
