Been Happier With Previous SUV's.

Its a very quiet car, handles quite nicely but have driven better cars. Like the interior, seats comfortable, leg room ample - reflection of the dashboard onto the windscreen is awful, especially when it is very sunny. Excellent reliability and petrol consumption is excellent on both long and town runs.

Tail Gate Realease

published

One week ago opened the tail gate release as per normal the whole assembly came off in my hand. Took into dealer and was told it was not covered by warranty, On reading other reviews I have found it is a common problem. I was told it would cost between $300 - $400 to fix. My vehicle is just over 100,000 kms. I would hope Nissan will correct this problem on future models.

Rear boot handle

published

Great car to drive...But rear boot handle just snapped off...Was just opening the boot as you normally would and it came right off in my hand...Would expect a boot handle to last more than a few years....Unless of course Nissan dont expect us to be opening and closing the boot or use it all...

Rotor discs

published

I have a Dualis 2WD 2013. As at Jun 16 has completed 30,000km. Got shudders through the steering column. Rotors require skimming according to Nissan. Have been informed that this is not covered under warranty. It is considered wear and tear. I have the not unreasonable expectation that I should a fair few more kms more than this before re-skimming and my having to pay! My last Nissan I am afraid until I am convinced otherwise. A real pity as Dualis is quite a good car otherwise. I am taking this further and as I am informed I am a stubborn son of a b..ch I intend to seek reimbursement even if it costs me time!!!!!!

Great Car

published

Car is great, runs well. I have got this one on 0% comparision rate so that's an add on. Never had any issues, it's just the dealer (AHG Nissan Sutherland) which isn't reliable. The car gives 11/100 km for local city driving and upto 12.4/100 km for highway. I haven't spend any extra money on the car, but only had this for 3 years.

Ok for the time being

published

When we bought this car I really loved it but that was for a couple with no kids.
The car is to small for a baby. The boot is full with the pram and no room in the back for more than one passenger despite having a narrow car seat.

This SUV is a pleasure to drive and own.

published

Almost four years since we picked up our Dualis Ti-L and we have had a trouble free run in this beautifully balance and comfortable SUV. We have travelled just 45,000 KMs and still have the original brake pads and tyres with our only expenses being the 6 month servicing and fuel. We may have to purchase a larger SUV due to an increase in Grandchildren and we are not looking forward to selling our Dualis because we are so happy with our Dualis.

This vehicle has been a pleasure to drive

published

I find the interior is very comfortable, from the driving position to ease of access for controls. Vision from the cabin is very acceptable. The sense you get of floating with a very smooth ride, or may be that is just the tyres I am running. Either way it is unbeaten by the dozen other cars I have had, some of them by Nissan. I cannot fault the car. It is not the most economical of cars, however, for its class it is very affordable. Reliable? Well the word is not in the Dualis dictionary.

It is a very good car, but need some changes on radio work

published

Fuel economy seems fairly reasonable,Radio tuning seems to be very unpredictable, it needs some changes to be more perfect, cruise control looks good and stylish classic interior looks very beautiful, the four wheeldrive makes it possible performance in retain or turn. Roads, i think the next design should be well interial and exterial

Clutch problems seem common

published

My two year old Dualis st with 32000 ks on the clock has just gone in with clutch problems. "Heat spots and worn clutch". Nissan claims no manufacturing defect, so won't cover it with warranty. $4000 repair bill seems rather excessive to me, for someone who has driven manuals for 40 plus years with no problems ever

Worst car ever built

published

As if it was built to fall apart, the car has, it's been in service more then it has been driven, sell this car as soon as you can as its life span won't be any more then 5 years.
All parties just pass the buck for faulty issues, only good for a project car black hole reverse investment

Very Happy

published

As soon I took the car for a test drive, I felt very comfortable sitting in the car and the drive was smooth and responsive. The complaints about the engine size not being adequate is something I just don't understand. Let's be honest, this car is designed for a comfortable ride in town and the Dualis fits that expectation to the max. I brought the car over a month ago and cannot find anything I dislike or need. After all, there are over 2 billion people starving or going hungry on this planet, needing electronic mirrors? Well .. I should be so lucky I was born into a wealthy country.

Dualis TI l

published

Yes I agree with this review, I have owned my new automatic DualisTI L for just three months, it has shuddering through the steering wheel when driving at 60kph - also I can feel it on my legs too when driving! The Nissan service team have said it's the style of this automatic transmission - it's a belt style automatic and that it's fairly normal!
Sorry Nissan - I'm very disappointed in this car, it provides a not so smooth drive at 60 kmh!
