Zonhonker Posted July 27, 2012 I've had my NV now for 8 months. PRO'S: Great handlingGreat turning radiusNice rideGood side "split" mirrors - different enough as to not cause confusionComfortable seatsExcellent leg room on both sidesLots of built in storage compartmentsStrong engineGood headlightsGood backup cameraVery good climate control hot AND coldGrab handles all the way around CONS: Lousy gas mileage - I average 14mpg and I do 90% highway drivingBraking slightly inconsistent...sometimes fades.Plastic window sills can cut your fingers up....they have to be sanded downFit and finish of interior plastic parts not very goodOrange display lights not the greatestNo Nissan-made running boards. The aftermarket ones arent that good.Step-up a bit highNo side windows available on the cargo van model *********** In most respects this is the best cargo van I've ever had. Chevy a close second and Ford a distant 3rd. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NV Guide Posted July 29, 2012 Welcome to the site :) I am surprised at the fuel mileage. Do you tow a lot of carry heavy loads? One thing that I have heard other complain about if the lack of parts (like running boards) from Nissan. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xavman Posted September 3, 2012 So i love my NVP SV, and I want this forum to be a little more successful than its sparsity is currently. I can tell you that if you have a family of 7+, this is the only way to still drive a bus but turn people's heads like you drove a sports car. However, the first step is to read what other people think. As such, i am posting a few links to reviews: http://www.edmunds.com/nissan/nv-passenger/2012/ http://www.vitafamiliae.com/?p=4817 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We just need to share out experiences. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
njc112 Posted January 25, 2013 I love my NV. Just bought it. Get almost 20 mph on the highway, but I am not speeding. 60-63 max speed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chevy a close second and Ford a distant 3rd. No real word complaints . I do think the engineers could re think the back door handle . It sits low and could be a major ubstruction depending on how you upfit your van . I had to build around it with Adrian Steel . The 3500 Tall boy V8 has been a true work horse and has satisfied my every need for the work I do . I did not purchase this unit for the gas mileage . I just charge my customers more if need be . I am still waiting to race a Toyota Tundra one day .. Hehe . Picking up my second one in a couple weeks ( first one got totaled - their fault. ) I had shopped around for other Vans on the current market . The NV was hands down a no brainier winner again . I do like the looks of Sprinters don't get me wrong . It's just that their GUTLESS AND NO BALLS ! Oh yea I purchased the NV for a work truck - sorry .
