I think Nissan is fine. Sure their SC prices are not as cheap as others as they don't give you cheap and mid range EO options like Toyota and Honda, proton and Perodua as well. So far as a Nissan owner there is only full synthetic EO, they actually are coming out with more local OEM to keep prices down. TanChong repackaged parts. Even their engine refresh package is affordable. It looks exactly like LiquiMoly. I say its worth my money! The new Serena should be out by April. Not sure if the e-power hybrid is coming as well.

my dad's pa used to drive a gran livina and for awhile before my dad sold it, i drove the 2.5 xtrail. from what i have gathered from others and in my opinion: -nissan engine is reliable as heck maybe too reliable as the car broke down before the engine would , even the whole car is in bad shape, the engine would keep running. - somehow on the road, almeera drivers in general are petpet drivers from what i notice, most of the drivers are on their phones, love cutting without signal and do all sort of things that as a normal driver ticks me off[U]
right?! almeera drivers are either old aunty's or speedy little koontz that has no manners on the road
While i admit most nissan owners are not younger gen drivers. Fast, i like to apply it to all cheaper/affordable range of cars, which is Almera. Unless you see an elderly driver which also drive really fast. Im lost for words too.

Wait for the Nissan Kicks. Almost confirmed will launch this year. Maybe will launch before raya

Sure not, I just simply ask my SA he only mention Serena, and Leaf. I showed him Note, but he say no need petrol... I guess he thought it was the New LEAF... im excited regardless if its a new model not just some cosmetic bodykit launch.

Ur SA only knows new Serena and new leaf. That news already confirmed since last year. Nissan kicks is all new and will compete with HRV.
As for note, not too sure if tan Chong bring that in as the market is pretty saturated with jazz and new myvi.
My experience with "Nissan is once bitten twice shy". Currently using Nissan and I would say the spare parts are economical only if you know about car and buying spare parts at ah beng shops then ask workshop to change the parts for you. Servicing in their SC is always either expensive, the SC charges you some services and parts that they are not performing (the wordings could be very "fancy" but actually refer to some simple service or part e.g.: flushing injection line, 36 points check or change plug ring something etc.) or their technicians are lazy or do not bother to entertain your inquiry. If any squeaking or rattling sounds they will say it is normal and without looking at the matters they presume that is the way they handle customers' complain and we have to live with it. Their CSO even worse, never attend to consumer's request, just follow their own SOP. Nissan gives minimum specifications as compare to overseas specifications in local and some obvious example are there is no need for powerboot for x-trail, the succeed feature in the new Serena is co-pilot is not popular in Malaysia and Malaysia is relatively safe that they need only 2 air bags. I wonder is it cost and brand cheaper if stripe off these features (maybe just like CRV) from their renown models. Facelift in Malaysia is not required as they just launched the launching campaign just 1 year ago and Malaysian can live with that, at most give 10k-20k discount (note that this is the only best entry-point to buy Nissan). Most of the SAs I dealt with are lack of knowledge about the products that they are selling, most of the questions I asked they are clueless. Simple or basic necessities are being bragged as major features over other brands (just looking at their website or brochure) e.g.: Chrome front grille, side mirrors with light indicators, intelligent key, ABS, EBD, seatbelts with pre-tensioners and load limiters? (OMG, other car don't have? Please do not repeat normal and standard items as "highlights" in the website/ brochure). One bad experience I was with Nissan was the SC people unable to detect the rattling sound of my car and I have to make several visits and it is their authorized air-con vendor who figured out that it was the exhaust problem and I have to go back to Nissan SC and tell them the root cause (they were "busy" to maybe look into such trivial matters). Nissan also very stingy or maybe they adopt the concept "less is more" in providing more gadget or features in the product line they have to offer, less innovation and very boring car manufacturer (MY). However these might be due to my personal experience and TCM is marketing Nissan under old uncle car category somehow.

I think it’s pretty much the same in other brands service centres.i got the Xtrail rattling problem as well,but only happens once in a while. I can live with it. Other than that, the car is fine.
Nissan Kicks is most likely going to be launched in Malaysia in 2018. This car is going to sell like hot cakes if Tan Chong knows how to priced it nicely. Just look how HRV push Honda to Malaysia top Non National Car makes. Toyota also will launch CHR soon if not mistaken. Let’s see know launch first. This will be the greatest fight among Toyota, Honda and Nissan in Malaysia.

Totally agree!!!! Their customer and maintenance services are poor. Always cannot tackle the problem after several visits and charge pretty high. No more nissan car for me!

The SC experience is more on foreman experience than the car brand name itself. If the foremain in that SC has less experience, then the technicians may not have someone to refer to, but sometimes the technicians are more experience.
I owned Nissan car but has no problem at all during 12 years and had to change alternator once which is ordered directly from supplier through spare part shop I'm accustomed to. Cheaper by about RM200
1) More minor irritants than full-blown Peugeot in terms of reliability, but though as 6UE5T say, spare parts rather expensive.
2) Tan Chong aftersales very good, they have divisions from north to south so no problem finding SC.
3) Nissan's current lineup is abit outdated, especially the Almera which launched 2012(facelifted 2015, which made it uglier ) and the Teana & Sylphy launched 2014 but have not received facelift afaik. Besides, Honda has better safety features anyway.
