2009 Nissan Navara ST-R review - Long-term owner

Multimedia and safety technology: 4/10

It is very basic as I have had to add a rearview camera, central locking, GPS, a dash cam and a throttle controller. I would have liked to have parking sensors and cruise control. 

Practicality: 7/10

The rear seat area is confined and uncomfortable, and the door cards are poorly made. but the tray area is a good size and very handy.

Driving: 7/10

The take off and pickup is sluggish, but once it is up and going it just purrs especially on the highway.

Wet-weather driving needs caution as it tend to lose traction when it has no load.

Running costs: 8/10

Found the maintenance cost to be minimal and servicing is not costly as it rarely has a problem. The fuel cost is about 9.5-10L/00km.

Reliability: 9/10

I have had the car for 16-plus years and had one problem that was easily taken care of in the fuel line at minimal cost, so apart from that I have had no gripes.

I regularly go on 4WD fishing trips and it hold up well.
