  Pleasantly surprised! What a gem! - 2009 Nissan Frontier
  By VQ_Man - November 11 - 10:53 am

  I recently traded in my 2007 Mazda3 due to the rough winters in the northeast. I never really considered a Frontier, but Im glad I checked it out! Wow! What a truck! The ride quality blew me away and is far superior to the Tacoma. The engine is refined and powerful. I dont really baby the truck for mileage, but Ive managed 20 in the city, which is way better than I thought. No major highway trips yet, so I cant comment on highway mileage. The long bed option is awesome and the spray in bedliner and utili-track system are great features. If youre in the market for a mid-sized truck, do yourself a favor and test drive this beauty. I promise you wont be disappointed.

  In my original review, I mentioned that the brakes produced a strange feel just before a complete stop and immediately after acceleration. I took my truck in to the local Az Nissan dealer to have the oil changed and to check the condition of the brakes. I also wanted them to check the drivers side sun visor because it seemed loose and does not stay against the windshield. When I went to pick up the truck, the service manager told me that these conditions were observed with other like vehicles on the lot and that the condition was considered as being normal. If you purchase one of these 2009 Frontiers and expect the dealer to "fix" these conditions, think again. They were no help at all.

  Another happy Pro-4x owner - 2009 Nissan Frontier

  Got the 2009 Pro-4x in black with leather seats. Like the truck, its fun to drive. Own it for just a week, I hope it will be as reliable as my previous Ford truck.

  Satisfied for the price - 2009 Nissan Frontier
  By JET - September 25 - 11:03 pm

  Have just under 3,000 miles so far and just minor problems. Ive noticed a timing chain slap while starting every once in a while. Drivers sun visor bounces while driving and in stowed position and falls slightly when against windshield. Speedometer reads 2 miles fast. Brakes have strange hitch only at complete stop and just after acceleration. (Feels like loose wheel lug nuts.) Finish on chrome front bumper not that great. Turning radius too large.

  A KEEPER, AT LEAST FOR NOW - 2009 Nissan Frontier
  By RUBICON4X4 - April 25 - 7:06 pm

  After 6 months good power and economy combination, average low 20s unless in 4 wheel drive. OE tires are mediocre for snow and mud, but do fine on dry roads: disappointing to need new tires since I live in an area that has snow 4- 5 months. Surprised that neither the salesman or sales manager knew that this truck does have a break in period. More truck for the price than I could have gotten a Toyota for. Radio works well, even in fringe reception areas. Radio and heater controls are easy to reach and understand.
