Morning all, just joined to have a chat about this in my opinion underrated Ute a 2012 STX V9X Navara with 280k on the clock. Been mostly a happy owner since I have kept away from Nissan Service and looked after it myself, recently closed business after 45 years and retired been looking at potential replacements but not found anything I would change it for as yet none really measure up. I actually know how to drive Safely so detest all these new supposed "Safety Aids" mandated in all new cars these days that cannot be legally defeated.

Anyhow just my rant look forward to being an active member thanks.

yeah i hear a few bad words about the lane assist feature thats in many cars now. especially when lanes merge or have old paint markings on the road. not lettings the driver change lanes.

I have one I bought new 10 years ago this month, I have almost 170,000 on it and am on my 4th intercooler after Nissan failed to fix the first 3 and I bought one from HPD.
I was hoping the new Kia would look good and have their turbo straight 6 diesel engine but I think they built a turd.
The v9x engine is a great thing and I have no intention of getting rid of my Navara. At this rate, I will get bits rebuilt or replaced as necessary. Oh, and the best stereo I have ever had in a car. Welcome.
