I’ve been driving a Nissan Sunny for a while now, and honestly, what stands out the most about this car is how practical it is. It’s extremely comfortable and economical to the max. Fuel consumption is very low—around 5 to 6 liters per 100 km—which, honestly, only hybrid cars can really compete with. From the outside it looks small, but inside it’s surprisingly spacious and comfortable, both in the front and back, with no feeling of being cramped on trips.Since I bought it, it has never broken down on me. I just do the usual maintenance—oil and filter changes—and that’s it. For daily driving around the city, its performance is decent. The steering is light, and the CVT gearbox shifts very smoothly.But that doesn’t mean it’s perfect. On the downside, its safety is weak. The body is so light that if you press the fender with your finger, it leaves a dent. The metal is very thin, and honestly, it feels like the car could fly away if it’s a windy day. If you do a lot of highway driving, you might feel uneasy—because it just doesn’t feel planted or secure at high speeds.Also, the sound insulation isn’t great. As soon as you hit a highway and try talking to someone next to you, you find yourself shouting. Wind and tire noise come into the cabin like you’re driving with the windows open.Comfort-wise, though, it’s really good. The seats are soft—especially the fabric ones—they feel more like a couch than a typical car seat.The Sunny is perfect for people who want a simple, no-fuss car that saves on fuel and is easy to drive. It’s ideal for city use and everyday commutes, but it’s not made for people who travel a lot or care about high safety or sound insulation levels.

What does it feel like to drive a Jimny?

I have a question. During a test drive on city roads, the vehicle's sound insulation felt pretty good. I'd like to ask the owners, how is the sound insulation at high speeds of 120-130 km/h? It would be great if you could compare it with some other models. Thanks!

Recently, when driving fast on uneven cement roads, the car feels unstable and wobbly. If you hit a pothole, it even feels like the tail sways.

Just wondering, I really like this car's 8AT and 2.5T. But do you know if it has a particulate filter? And is the engine longitudinal or transverse? Also, how's the sound insulation?

Is driving this car like being able to be with whoever you want?

Is a tire pressure of 2.8 too high? I drive very rarely, like once or twice a month.

I've been driving a Peugeot 307 for over ten years and I'm ready to change cars. However, I feel like it's hard to find a car in the same price range that matches its safety, stability, and handling. Does anyone have any recommendations?

For those with the 2020 model, do you think it's good to drive? I personally feel like the transmission is really bad.

Why does it feel like the ground clearance of the Sunny is quite high? Looking at the Accord, it seems lower than the Sunny. I wonder if it's just a visual thing or if older cars are generally higher than the newer ones.

I bought a used Nissan Sunny in 2018—it was a 2015 model, and I was the second owner. I paid 160,000 EGP for it. When I got it, the odometer showed 60,000 km, but it was obvious they had tampered with it—just by looking at the tires and other details. Still, at the time I just needed a car to get me around. The first year with the car was honestly a pleasant surprise. Fuel consumption was excellent—even with a bit of aggressive driving, it was doing about 6L/100km. That was after I cleaned the injectors, changed the spark plugs, and washed the sensors. After that, the throttle response was smoother and performance improved. One time, I managed 700 km on a single tank—but that was rare. Usually, it did just over 600. Interestingly, it consumed more fuel on the highway than in the city, which is a bit odd but shows it's built more for short urban trips. Driving it was light and smooth. The steering was soft but had a decent return, the suspension was soft but not too floaty, and even though the car is lightweight, it felt more planted than I expected. Honestly, it’s one of the most comfortable cars I’ve ever driven. The interior space is amazing. From the outside, it looks small, but inside it feels like a full-size sedan. Nissan clearly prioritized passenger space—they shrunk the hood and dashboard, which is great, but comes at a cost. The insulation is terrible—you hear road and wind noise like you're riding a tuk-tuk. And the bodywork is so thin, it feels like you could crush it with your hands. Put your foot in the wrong spot, and it feels like you'll puncture the floor. There were also a few issues: the stereo was poor, I had to replace the A/C motor, and I still get some strange noises. But in the end, I see the Nissan Sunny as a very basic car that offers comfort, space, and ease of use—but at the expense of build quality, sound insulation, and overall sturdiness. If you're on a tight budget and just need something to get you through your daily drives without asking much, it’s a logical choice. But if you’re looking for luxury or durability... look elsewhere.
