Worst service after sales

I have purchased Nissan Micra just three months back and its look and style is just ok. The comfortness of the vehicle is really average but it offers an excellent fuel efficiency. One of its best features is keyless entry which I like it most. Personally, I felt that the service is very very very poor and the dealers dont know how to repair their vehicles and it took three to four weeks to supply the parts. Nissan spares are not easily available and while I phoned to the Nissan dealer, they are not picking up the call. Again and again I called the dealer, but they are not giving any proper response so dear friends, if you purchase Nissan products, you would be regreted and ashamed like how i am. So please dont prefer Nissan.

Good for Heavy Traffic Roads

I am regularly driving Nissan Micra for the past two years and I feel very thrilled driving this car. The car has a refined engine which is quite perfect for Indian road conditions. It is possible to drive like a SUV on hilly terrains because of its light weight nature compared to its competitor cars. The Micra has been designed with a smooth gear shifts, smooth steering option. And ride quality and handling of the vehicle is good even in city and highway conditions. Talking about the suspension, it is perfect for Indian road conditions. Some of the features are missed such as adjustable driver seat and telescopic steering, but actually it is not needed for a hatch with low front profile.

Pathetic Service

Hi friends, Before buying a new car I have gone through various websites and got a clear idea. I have lot of choices but I prefer to buy Nissan Micra which is quite good compared to Honda Amaze. Actually I have planned to purchase the car through loan so my purchase was little bit late because of the loan process by the bank. But before I do some arrangements, the dealer sold the car to another person who was ready with the cash which makes me very irritating. While I was asking to the dealer, they have promised that the car would soon arrive. But the dealers are not giving any proper response. So I have faced many problems 1) waited for more than 3 months 2) Wasted two month interest rate unnecessarily 3) Not getting any discounts. Booking this vehicle, I have faced a lot of problems before getting the car. So please be stay away from Nissan products.

Good choice in this segment car

Hi everybody, I have done a lot of research before purchasing the car. I have gone through various websites for car user reviews but they are not very encouraging. Actually I am settled in US and have known Nissans for a long time. My first car which I bought at US is Nissan Maxima and I dont have any problems with the vehicle. Even my wife and friends loved the vehicle but reviews about dealers and their after sales service are somewhat negative. But I dont bother about other reviews and I wished to change my Maxima to Micra and like that I have bought it too and I like the car very much. Nissan products are always unique and it makes the car enthusiasts to go for that brand. My vote is always for Nissan cars. Thanks..
