3: 42 But a good reason to get a very long (60+ months) auto loan is when offered a nearly interest-free loan. Back in 1999, I was shopping for a new car and I was offered a 0. 9% lease on a Saturn SL1 (a very good car. I bought it, but two weeks later I got a letter from GMAC stating that I did not qualify for the point nine percent interest financing and that I had to call the Saturn dealership financing department, which I did. I explained the letter and they said to come down to renegotiate the financing. I said GMAC's letter was a revocation of a good contract that I was faithfully adhering to. I was approved, I paid my money down, paid the first month's payment, and was given the car, but GMAC was reneging on the deal. I explained that in doing so the deal was dead and that I was going to return the car and I wanted all my money and my trade-in car (actually, I did not trade in any car, but this guy probably did not know that, and they could get their new car back. By the way, I said I put a few thousand miles on it from a Las Vegas road trip. The Saturn dealer said they will honor the original deal. Don't be bullied by the banker bstards

I live in Republic of Panama and they have been selling this Nissan Frontier since 2015 in diesel version. I bought a brand new 2017 and had a really bad experience with the quality. I ended up selling the car after 1 year. It kept going in and out from the dealership trying to fix everything that was wrong with it. Very poor quality. The same argument you say dealers use: we couldnt find anything wrong. After taking it in about 3 times per problem they usually found something wrong. Drive shaft, bushings not lubricated adequately, axle seals leaking differential oil to the brakes resulting in screeching noise when braking in cold (they changed this 3 times, driver window vibrating while rolling down, and poor customer service.

The 2021 Frontier looks NOTHING like the 2020 and earlier. That front end shot you shot, you ussd, is from the Car Buzz article. The article was saying those pics were pics of the new 2021 Frontier, but they weren't. The article used the wrong pics. The Car Buzz article uses your front end shot (2021, and then EVERY other pic, in the article, is a 2020. In actuality, the new Frontier has a new 7 speed auto, new engine, new transmission. All new body (all the way around. New interior, and if I'm not mistaken, new wheel size and suspension. Very much a complete redesign, and it might even be on a new chasis, I'll let you know later. Gotta double check your work Scotty. Latr.

I just traded my 2017 Frontier for a 2020 Tacoma and, even though I had some issues with my Frontier, I actually liked it more than the Tacoma, which has its own set of annoyances. Also, Nissan did put the new powertrain you described into the existing Frontier chassis for 2020. However, the 2021 Frontier actually will be an all new chassis, although I suspect it'll be a slightly revised variant of the Navara which they've been selling overseas for years. In any case, the 2021 Frontier will be all new for North America.

Scotty: the frontier you showed is a navara. It is NOT planned for the US market. The current 2020 model is serving as a test bed. They are using the 9 speed from the Titan to test the waters in this truck. It will be a one or two year only truck, before they switch to a newer body style. This new transmission also manages to get 22mpg, which is damn good for the truck market. Personally, id go with a 6 speed auto. All it needs is an extra gear. Too many gears complicate things.

I have another idea for a crossover - I was thinking to get a 2018 or 2019 Ford Escape SE AWD 1. 5T, because it has the 1. 5 L Ecoboost four-cylinder engine, which produces 179 horsepower and it has the PowerShift, six-speed automatic transmission with sport mode (manual-shift. It should be much better and more fuel-efficient than the 2018 or 2019 Kia Sportage EX AWD 2. 4 (2. 4 L four-cylinder engine. Do you any thoughts, regarding one of these vehicles from the Ford Motor Company?

Come on Scotty, lets put quality were it should be. Toyota tundra not Toyota Tacoma. My 2006 Toyota Tundra has 204, 000 miles on it and all I do is change the oil and rotate the tires every 5, 000 miles. Since I remarried two years ago at 80, I now drive less than to miles a month. Oh yes, my wife has a 2005 Hyundai with less than 50, 000 miles on it and it drives like a new car. Boy am I lucky.

Sirius did a over the air update that totally screwed everything. It's not Chrystler. 2017 and 2018 Ram trucks the 8. 4 screen works intermittently. Mopar was not notified about this. The newer models are having update programs as well it's not cheap equipment. I would not consider a Bose or Alpine system cheap. You need to do a video on Sirius. I bet other brands are having problems as well.
