Review Nissan Frontier 4X4 PRO4X: a manly chest-pounder and as reliable as a hound-dog (Part 2)

Editor's Note: Click HERE for part one of this Nissan review.

When last we read, our hero was dashing about in his mighty Nissan Frontier 4X4 PRO4X – avoiding angry farmers and “The Man.”

Later, on dirt roads less traveled (near a great ORV trail near Garden of the Gods), I let the little Nissan stretch its legs as I started some nifty drifting on dirt-filled corners. Inside, the cab was fairly calm and the Rockford/Fosgate XM stereo kept me rockin.’ It was a BLAST!

Review Nissan Frontier 4X4 PRO4X: a manly chest-pounder and as reliable as a hound-dog

Rarely do I consider a vehicle worth buying. Sure, I may like it – or even love it but I rarely find enough emotional attachment to truly consider the prospect. A truck to even be considered to replace my beloved old Land Rover has to be every bit the mountain goat my Discovery is… which the Nissan Frontier 4X4 PRO4X is.

Review 2010 Nissan Armada: Swills dead dinosaurs with the best of them

After one glorious week of driving debauchery, I have averaged an astounding 10.2 mpg! This thing can swill dead dinosaurs with the best of them; however, it should be said that I spent about 90% of my Armada driving time with the accelerator buried in the floor-mat.

Review 2010 Nissan Cube: A car for Hippies, Deadheads and Grandparents

All Nissan Cubes come with a 122 horsepower (making 127 lbs feet or torque) 1.8-liter DOHC 16-valve, 4-cylinder engine. That’s not too shabby considering the 2,700 – 2,900 lbs weight. 0 to 60 times were about 10 seconds flat at 5,200 feet with the 6-speed manual (so I would expect around 9ish at lower altitude) and just under 10 seconds at nearly sea level with the CVT. Despite the slow times, the engine has some spunk and moves smartly through traffic. The CVT surprised me here as the engine never dropped to a low, performance usurping rpm.

Review 2009 Nissan Versa: No radio, no power windows, no power doors. Get over it

The Versa is Nissan's global small car and the least expensive car sold in the United States. But the cheap thing is a bad rap. And getting what one pays for? It ain't true. With a base price of $10,000 and change, the Versa base model has a lot to offer — whether it's in the U.S. and Canada, or in Mexico, Japan, China and several other countries where it's called the Tiida.
