  • Here's a review of my 2008 Nissan Fuga 250XV (Y50). This is a 13 year old sedan, but it has spent its last 5 years up and down the rough roads in Kenya. Enjoy!

    This is actually nice man,, beats the normal Kenyan mentality that all Nissans are bad,,, I actually learned that its good to never listen to anyone when buying a car,, just follow your heart, buy the ride you love, and learn the pros and cons while living with the car.

    Great review but just as a correction, the fuga has about 220 horsepower stock rather than what you stated in the video "140hp" which is similar to cars like the honda stream, toyota premio e.t.c cars with either 1800cc to 2000cc.
    Informative review regardless especially from a user's point of view.

    Hi, not bad at all for a first time car video...it has a nice spec level, but i wish you had mentioned if it was a front or a rear wheel drive, that way it would be much easier to compare like with like, let's say the Toyota Mark X. I'm sure one of the best factors for buying the nissan would be the cost of initial purchase as compared to the Mark X in terms of equivalent size, engine capacity, spec level, running costs, etc.

    • @Dkens
      @Dkens  2 роки тому +2

      Thanks!This one was just off my head,but from the feedback I might make more, will definitely take into account your suggestions! But to answer you,its a rear wheel drive,and definitely the cost of initial purchase was way less than Mark X

    Ill suggest bigger tyres for ground clearance.... I bet you are using 215/50 tyres . .go for the 215/65....the ride will be more comfortable and it wont mess with your fuel economy..im betting you are more concerned about your mpg since its more of a headache as it is since you sporting 6 cylinders man😂
