Wa alikum assalam ,
I bought Nissan AD EXPERT 2008 in ramadan (august 2012 ) and still very very happy and satisfied with it
Its a very very nice car , no troubles so far , i have driven it almost 12k kms now .
First i will answer ur questions :
1) Fuel economical , yes it is considering a drive of 1500cc 110 hp car , it is indeed fuel economical and giving us an avg of around 12kms/ltr within city with AC .
2)Spacious
yes , it has decent leg room and overall space in front , at rear seats no its not spacious at all but can accomodate 3 persons , It has a huugeee trunk
3) comfortable
Front seats -- yes
Rear seats -- no , But u can make it comfortable by changing the rear seat like i did in just 10k
4) Reliable -- yes Nissan is always a reliable car , since ur getting fresh imported one , 99% chances are u wont face any trouble for atleast 3yrs , if u maintain it regular oil changes etc
Now My experience so far :
Positives :
1)Attractive shape as compared to other station wagons/ estate cars
2)Nice interior again as compared to others in same category
3)The EPS ( electronic power steering ) is best i have ever used , much much better than the EPS in Honda City and Toyota Corolla current shape and Passo/ Vitz , saying this from my experience ( Had an ALTIS )
4) Drive/Ride is smooth and powerful
5) The pick is great , really , touches 160 very very quickly , have smoked Honda City 2010 , Premio , Gli and to be honest ( Reborn too once ) on long routes
6)Brakes are good
if ur getting AD EXPERT then u ll get power retractable mirrors n front map lights ( m not sure whether standard one has tht )
7)Economical
8) A bit good road clearance as compared to other JDMS like Vitz and Passo
Avg Road grip (if u change the tyres ) original studless ones have horrible grip ( at higher speeds like 140 obv )
AD EXPERT also has parking sensors ( buzzer)
Negatives :
1)No center arm rest front
2)No tachometer
3)A bit noisy as compared to sedans ( on bumpy roads )
4)Rear seat is too bad ( U MUST GET IT CHANGED )
other than tht i dnt see any negative point , its a very good buy in the price tag u quoted ! and dont worry abt resale either , it surely will make its market , and as compared to VITz its much much much better , previously had a Toyota Passo , and simply theres no match , but agian rear seat of both passo and vitz is better than Ad's original seat , but if u get it changed , then u ll def have a very very nice car in just 960 + reg charges wch are 55k as far as i remember , it is much better than all others in its price tag
Best of Luck
