2005 Nissan Patrol ST review - Long-term owner

By Owner Review · 30 May 2025
Dated technology. It needs Bluetooth and a GPS screen.
Car interior is clean and comfortable. Seats fold up toward back of front seats, and we have placed a mattress in the back to camp on long trips.
We have found the vehicle goes well. We have done many very long trips and it is comfortable. The overdrive is very handy and also the 4WD works when roads are boggy.
We were getting around 10km per litre of diesel. Servicing was always done by the local Nissan dealer, but there are mechanics who can do it cheaper. Insurance in the last year or two is about $80 per month.
We drove our car for long distances for over 17 years in rural and remote areas of Australia and we could trust our Nissan Patrol to fire up every time we put the key in for a trip.
