The Nissan Datsun pick up is the precursor to this machine, very reliable IMHO

You need to promongorate the meaning of 'precursor ' before bandying it about.

I do not know much about the vehicle but it is noticeably missing from our roads despite a good number of people buying the vehicle in the past. Actually you are more likely to see the older version than the new one.

Zero experience with this one, but I worship the preceding model.

I happen to own and have used this model for three years, but currently it's grounded because I have another jalopy for use for my errands. I will give you a brief summary of the pros and cons.
It is the perfect crossover between a normal car and pickup it's very comfortable and being a front wheel drive which makes it easy to manouver. Fuel wise it is very economical.
The vehicle is very powerful (speed and pick) easy to steer and quite stable comparing it's size. The transmission is very smooth once you master the release point for the clutch given that they are manual.
The cargo bed is also very spacious.
However this version is from south Africa. Let not the Nissan logos and the branding confuse you. This vehicle is a mixture of all sorts of things. The engine is Renault and is made of aluminium/magnesium, suspension/springs are for Dacia, the wheel studs look like for a VW...
The transmission is hydraulic and uses a plastic thrust bearing that once failed me along the Southern Bypass I had to drive in gear one till the junction and got towed by a good Samaritan to Karen.
Your usual roadside mechanic might not be able to sort you once that system sucks air.
That's why you will find that once the warranty ends, many owners (including mnyama fulani ) are unable to get a competent mechanic tutawekelea juu ya mawe.
Similarly if you take a drive towards Ngong at Juanco, you will find many of these metal carcasses there.

It can't get more crooked than this. When I saw several vehicles with broken backlights, I suspected its quality. Many people bought it after the discontinuation of the debe in the belief that it was an improved version. All these vehicles gradually disappeared from our roads, which is a good indicator that there was something wrong with the vehicle.

My mechanic Actually advised swapping it with a probox engine/gearbox combo. I'm still debating.
