Hi! i have been driving this car since 2013 (if my memory serves me right), the CBU model.
I usually switch off the eco mode as i hates it where if econ mode is on, it is very sluggish.
With the econ mode is off, it has more power, won't say very good (my previous 8th gen Accord 2.0 is better) but sufficient, and for normal cruise driving, the engine sound is good and rather decent quiet. However, when you stamped on the gas pedal, say overtaking, it is painfully loud. Power just nice and don't expect immediate push due to it is a CVT GB.
Overall, it is a comfort MPV, for the price, i am happy with it and so does my kids.
However, Nissan's parts are not so durable if i compare to Honda, which my previous rides of Grand Livina having the same experience too. Could be just me.
Thanks for your feedback, Antzfield. At least some real owner's experience rather than those car reviews by professional reviewers.
I have watched on youtube the C27 can be quite loud.
How does it compare with your previous Grand Livina in terms of performance? I am actually driving a Grand Livina 1.8 now and I find it slightly underpowered at times, to be honest. A 1.8 engine but 121hp is about the same output as a 1.5. Other 1.8 engines have at least 140hp. That's why on highways, I have to plan my overtaking very carefully.
Regarding parts durability, so far I have changed the petrol filter twice and recently my engine mountings are giving up.
