My advice would be to look elsewhere. I have a 2004 Frontier that was bought new and I do not like it. I feel it is underpowered and slow. There is also a problem with the air conditioner that the dealer tells me is something that cannot be changed as that is the way Nissan designed it. When I turn on the defroster it activates the air conditioner which is fine. The problem kicks in when the defroster is switched off. The air conditioner DOES NOT SHUT OFF and continues to run. It will continue to run until the engine is switched off and turned on again. This means that you might as well keep the defroster on all the time you are driving even though it is no longer necessary. You cannot cycle between on and off as there is no purpose: the air conditioner is going to continue to run no matter what you do with the defroster switch. This is hell on gas mileage. My advice: buy a Toyota and stay away from the Nissan. We have a Frontier and an Altima and have the same problem with both. We cannot wait until we can get rid of them.
