VQ35 with 9spd ZF auto, no hybrid / electric. Epitome of reliability.

Most likely front lower control arms and or sway bar links.

I'd agree it's on the way up. Quality control is the biggest issue. But imagine selling Sharks where every single one will flood the…

The misinformation in here is amazing. If OP buys a 2023 Leaf and gets it serviced with a Nissan dealership, pays the $99 inspection fee,…

Thanks OP. Got one. Clothes get washed. Happy.

The CVT in R52 Pathfinders and T32 X-Trails killed Nissan's name - like Mitsubishi in the Outlander (identical gearbox). So far the new gen…

2nd hand petrol CX5, without doubt. Industry experience. 3 mates plus me run KE (2012-2016) CX5’s, now at 155-250KMs as baby / wife cars.…

CX30 EOFY 35,990 New Qashqai 38, maybe too much. (Lots bigger, could score an old model off the lot for way less) 2.9% finance. HRV 32,990…

CX5 petrol turbo if you care about driving. Likewise Mazda 6 petrol turbo. X-Trail / Outlander / CRV if you don’t. If yo get a 2021+…

Thanks OP. Got one for wifey.

Someone will correct me if I’m wrong, but as far as I’m aware, both the Outlander and XTrail run the same Jatco CVT and same 2.5 Nissan…

Have a look at the X-Trail. Same car as an Outlander (you’ll see what I mean). Nissan are keen to shift them so you’ll get solid…

Happy to help. Cheers

Hey mate, Front LCA’s (lower control arms) on your car shouldn’t take longer than 1.5 hours at most. So an experienced tech could knock…

Fantastic old new car, if that's what you're after. Rock solid mechanicals - but the head unit is completely shit. We've done software…

Not quite mate, it's not a full warranty for the full time period. Try and find the warranty T&C's (this might be hard). Many brands…

Correct answer, is machine grey on Mazda's for that 16-18ish generation fail on the rear roof spoiler and on the tail gate only. Have had…

No dramas mate. I'd try find the newest akera you can, I believe mid-late 19's came with cooled/ventilated seats which for me is worth the…

Awesome cars mate. CX8 is basically the newer version, long wheel base. No surprises and everything (still) works - just with a few more…

Hey mate, both are the same really. 23 model might cop the newer Mazda connect system rather than the older MZD system, so that's worth it.…

Hey mate, haven't driven the Kodiaq - it's VAG enough for me to stay away if you want hassle free. CX8 is the "boring" one buy still drives…

Hey mate, yep CX5/Mazda 6 2.5 (PY engine) share the same components.

I'm not in sales, work at Nissan now but say what you will. But hey, say what you like, working 8.5 years at a brand I will happily tell…

So much misinformation out there..... If you have a Mazda and dealer service, you can literally bribe the service advisor for a good survey…

Background: worked at Mazda in service for 8.5 years, left there 4 months ago. Short version: Buy the car, or try get the 2.5 AWD. Absolute…

Used OP's screen shot and links, let them sell me warranty without being prompted and they said 1899 all in. I asked if 1899 delivered was…

OP you superstar. Was in market for one, with your screen shot and links, got one for $1,838.75 (pick up) with 2 years extra warranty as…

I needed one last week, so got one used on marketplace for $85. So now I have a new one and a used one... Cheers OP!

Thank you OP. Got a CA4210-59E. Cheers
