Nissan Latio Sedan

250k km in 5 years.

nothing spoil.

except tyres n brake pads.

I used to be skeptical over Latio. It looks like a car from the bread shop and cartoon-ise to look at. However, if you go beyond it looks and dig deeper, you will appreciate it more. Recently had a car trip up north to Kuantan via the north-south highway. The car manages good speed without a hitch. Though loud at very high speed, the car manages to pull away from traffic easily. The car has a two stage acceleration nature, when you depress the accelerator to the second stage, the car pulls away very well. For a family oriented car, its more than you ask for. Interior wise, it is sufficiency large for the price range, I am more than 6-foot tall and the car sits me comfortable.

Truth to be told, I bought this car only because it was within my budget and I was comparing between the Avante and Latio. In the end, the Latio won over solely because of the "Made in Japan" badge.

Till date, it has not disappointed me, but it has not thrilled me either.

It is still a decent "bread and butter" car, the extact what I was looking and paying for. So, no complain

Test drove this cars donkey years ago. First impression, at this look! It can't win it any beauty award. But interior was very freshen compared to sunny.

Bought my Nissan Latio Premium Sedan in November 2009. Now driven it for nearly 7000km as of March 2010.

So far I have no complaint about this car.

Drove it up to Genting in March... Fuel consumption on highway at average 120km/h to 140km/h with travel thru KL roads plus up Genting highland was around 14km/l. Hit max speed (on empty stretch of road ok?) of 190km/h on speedo aka 180km/h on GPS.

Went up Genting highland without having to switch to L gears with aircon running with no problem.

Have been driving the Nissan Latio for a few weeks already. Overall, its a decent car with reasonable price. There are a few pros and cons of this car that I will touch on later.

Strange thing about this car is its fuel gauge. It goes down really quickly for the 1st half, but slowly for the 2nd half. From full tank, I clocked only 80km when the meter showed 1 quarter tank. Good thing that the rest of the tank lasted me for a total of 500km.

Latio Sedan gives you the best comfort in terms of interior space. If you are always driving, the nissan latio will allow you to sit in there for the longest period of time and you won't want to get out of the ride. That's how good the latio is!

I been driving my Latio for 9 mths now since i bought it in Feb 09. So far no issues with the Car at all. Except that it was scratched by some idiots in my open space carpark. I drove a Nissan Sunny Ex (Older type) before that, i bought it at 2nd hand due to higher cost at that time. Drove for 6 yrs plus, no issues or break down before. Nissan's engine is really good and reliable! Thought of buying the other brands But.... test drive Mazda 3, Lancer, Kia Cerato & Vios. Mazda 3 suspension is good but no power and abit cramp inside. Lancer (Manual)driving is as good as Sunny but old model with old engine. Kia Cerato (Manual), keep changing wrong gear coz the gear is too short and poor quality. Vios is too cramp and small compare to the rest, plastic are really cheap and made in Thai!

Tried out the Latio Sedan Premium out at Ubi just a while ago. Tan Chong is currently having a $300,000 windfall lucky draw and also offering the car at promotional rates.

This promotional price puts the Latio Sedan into direct competition with cars such as Suzuki SX4, Toyota Vios, Hyundai Avante and Kia Cerato Forte. Given the selling current price, this makes the Latio an offer that simply cannot be ignored.

Owned the car (CVT) for near to 3 years now, still very satisfied with it, the interior comfort is great, as for the exterior, with bodykit installed still not bad-looking.

Test drive Suzuki SX4 and then was forced by my friends to test drive Latio. (Which i hate because of its exterior look.) I know its interior is nice, but just hate the headlights and front look... although 2008 facelift do look better abit...

Test drive and found it easy to maneuver around. The friendly sales explaining on the car is great (compared to the Champions Motor sales, which is sux...).

After driving for a year, satisfied for the performance. No real problem. But do not like its acceleration on even slight upslope. It's low exhaust pipe is so annoying when reversing in those open carpark. Once have to get it readjusted by Tan Chong after the exhaust pipe was hit by the kerb while reversing (slow reversing somemore).

Roomspace is great but the rear seats are more suitable for 2 adults rather than 3. Rear legspace is definitely more than enough even front seats are adjusted to the end. Even Altis does not have this large legspace.

This is my first car, and I am still glad with the decision. Bought it during Dec 2007, the basic model.

Haven been researching through forums, websites and magazines on various cars. Shortlisted Avante, Kia Cerato Forte, Altis, Vios, Jazz and Swift.

Decided to choose Latio after much consideration. Largely because of the reliability of Nissan engine and service.

Overall, it is a good buy. Value for money. =)

This is a not bad car, but not for fussy driver. It has high head space, not like Vios. Every time go in will knock my head. Good for small family.

The dashboard is very nice. The rim design has many spokes. It is very cool! Sadly, it is too expensive. If it is cheaper by a few thousand, it would be perfect!

I Have rented this car a few Days ago. Had been driving quite a number of cars till date. and i find that this car is good for cornering, not for like high speed, but for not too fast, not too slow kinda cornering, the body roll is way better That The Suzuki Swift.
