Recommend Me A Daily Driver.

Lucky you. You're one of only 2 people I've spoken to with unrattly Nissans. I wish I was that lucky.

My old N15 had quite a few dash rattles, and started squeaking when the windows went up after a year or two. There was a fair bit of suspension clunking too, after a while.

My Z33 has had dash rattles from the moment I picked it up, with 24km on the odo. And that's on their halo car, not some cheap entry point vehicle.

At the first 3 services I complained about it to Nissan, who couldn't do anything about it. It picked up even more rattles all around the cabin, some intermittent, as time has gone on.

Most of the S14s and S15s I've been in, back when they had low mileage, have had various rattles. My mate's old Maxima was the same. Same with the imports I've been in, like Skylines and Silvias.

Compared to my old man's entry-model BMW, which is a quarter of a million kilometres old and still pretty tight, you can really sense the quality difference.

The only consistently unrattly Nissans I've been in have been V35s.

+1 prelude. a bit girly but still nice

my dad just sold his 5th gen VTIR recently to some kid on Ps.. see heaps of younger guys driving them around

Here we are... and only 47000Km travelled for a '99 Prelude ATTS... That's just 4700Km/yr

Instead of 4WS, the ATTS system uses sensors to detect that as you go around corners, the outside wheels rotate quicker to improve roadholding. Rarer.

All you have to do now, is haggle like an expert! Says he's negotiable!

However the ATTS system is costly and a pain in the ass to repair with alot of possible faults that can occur. For that reason alone I'd steer clear of any ATTS equipped vehicle. Nearly all I have seen have the warning lights illuminated. That and they hardly ever are serviced as specified.

Chasing a honda, stick with any "japan" built aussie delivered one(steer clear of v6 autos tho) and provided its had regular services and it will easily run for 500k+ kays with no problem.

Just get a Corolla. They're bulletproof, good on petrol, don't look too bad, however probably not as stylist as it's competitors. But at least when you turn the key you know it's going to start every time... and really, that's what you want in a daily.

yea im going to say a AE102 corolla..

Only a small amount of things that go wrong with them..

Inner door handles break.

Boot/fuel door release handle break.

Factory exhaust manifold crack, replace with a OEM one which has changed design and not to happen again.

appart from that they are bullet proof.. if i needed a daily thats what id be getting..

I work for toyota parts, hence knowing what goes wrong with them!
