Nissan Cars Perth

What Nissan says: It's compact, powerful and impressively rugged. And it's at home anywhere you are: an open freeway, a challenging 4WD incline, or a busy inner-city motorway. With 226Nm of grunty torque, 2,000kg of braked towing capacity and intelligent, ALL MODE 4x4-i technology, the X-TRAIL sets new standards in both everyday and adventure motoring.

The culmination of fifty years of Nissan 4WD experience and heritage, this power-packed machine has everything you need for serious, off-road exploration: a tough 2.5 litre engine, optional Xtronic Continuously Variable Transmission and state of the art safety features. And it's itching to explore the open road. Are you?

What I say: This car test drives exceptionally well and has now recovered from previous problems with the model. If you're a keen 4x4 fan you should probably check out this vehicle as it's great in the City and out in the rugged bush.

What Nissan said: It's begging to be driven. And from the moment you turn the key, you'll feel it jumping out of its 230kW skin. Designed and built without compromise, the new Nissan 350Z has raised the bar in terms of V6 power, performance and style. Built upon the world-famous VQ-series V6 engine, the new VQ35HR engine boasts 358Nm of torque, and can move the 350Z from 0 - 100kph in just 5.7 seconds. With sleek, new aerodynamic styling and a cockpit tailored for performance, sitting behind the wheel is an absolute blast.

What I say: This is most likely the fatest car Nissan has produced (apart from the NEW GT-R) of late so it's quite a nice sportscar for the person who has more sense than to spend more than $100K on a new luxury car.
