Hello,

What are your comments on each car?

My needs are
-for everyday use
-good fuel economy
-reliability
-strong aircon

What will you choose among the 3?

Thank you.

2002 N16 Exalta user here. Very comfortable car with good interiors and lots of user amenities. As some would say, a small Cefiro. The sunroof adds looks, kung Superio model. Regarding fuel consumption, medyo di ganun katipid (AT yung sa akin), maybe around 7km/l for normal Metro Manila traffic conditions. For worse traffic conditions, it's about 6km/l. On highways, it's about 10km/l. Medyo sumpungin yung power door locks tapos marami ako narinig na kapag nasira yung stock cd changer, mahirap ayusin. Palitan mo na lang yung HU ng bago, yung cd/mp3/wma palyer na. By the way, medyo sluggish yung acceleration but oks na oks when cruising. All in all, I guess it's a pretty good car. IMO.

Oks rin pala yung 2000 Exalta STA, halos same features as the 2001-2003 Exaltas but with all-leather interiors.

Thanks Egan101.

I will think of that... I am not too familiar with Sentras. Can you give me an idea of the variants and when the new bigger body shape came? I remember the Exalta is the same series 4 body, then came the Bigger body Grandeur but ang daming variants.

Thanks again

For more information regarding Nissan vehicles, you can go to www.nissanbayan.com. B14 yung chassis ng 1999-2000 Exalta, same ito with the Series 3 Sentra. Yung older chassis ng Sentra is B13 while yung mga naunang box type is B12. N16 na yung chassis from 2001 onwards though different yung look ng 2001-2003 Exalta Grandeur/Superio edition from the current Sentra (2004-2006).

Glad to be of help.

Agree... as long as you don't mind the lack of speed and the soft dynamics, the Exalta is a good car.

The GLS? Less toys...

The Jimny, even less... there's no trunk space, and the ride is stiffer without a corresponding benefit in terms of on-road handling. Unless you like off-roading, and it's a 4x4 Jimny, wag nalang.

I do like the Jimny, though... di lang siya practical.
