Pricey for made in Britain.You can buy a Corolla Base Model Automatic If you don’t need a SUV,Same for a Mazda 3,A Ford Focus If looking at the ST Dualis.

I was looking at replacing my 2006 Tiida with one of these but it is just Mum and Me at home so no need for such a car and will be getting the Micra tomorrow instead.

2010 Nissan Dualis Ti – 2wd – Auto- Blade Silver

Delivered: January, 2010

URBAN X
For my purposes as an urban dweller, the Dulalis is perfect. I have no need for AWD/4WD and if I did,my target would have been an all together different car.

The Dualis is roomy, buid quality excellent,first class safety and the CVT in action amazing.

SUV/Hatch – doesn’t matter – it’s an Urban Gorilla going ably going about its business.

PS: Only complaint – Nissan, why is there no sunglass holder built into the overhead? Silly and annoying ommission. I have added one myself.

I commute over 130ks per day and enjoy every kilometer in the Dualis. I should say I would not have considered the Dulais AWD at the previous price point – way off the mark – but the re-jigged line-up and pricing got me in.

i just bought a new 2WD ST CVT, if you really want to get a nice price, try neg at the month end, i just pay 14K plus trade-in my car only worth “11K” mention in redbook.com.

if they just simply told people the price is Corolla, I think people will really “shift”

very nice car

Hi,

I have recently bought the 4WD Dualis ST OPtion Pack (picked up at end of April 2009)…It’s very disappointing to see the price of the car slashed by Nissan, it doesn’t make me feel all that warm and fuzzy come trade in time.

However, as a car, I couldn’t be any happier with it. The build quality is good, the car is quiet and comfortable and I don’t feel it is underpowered (ok, maybe a little bit when going up big hills). I have taken if off road (bush tracks and fire trails) and it did quiet well. Yes, it is not a typical 4WD but it does more things and at times better than my previous Focus Zetec.

Stuart, I know what you mean about it looking a little more interesting than the competition. I like the Golf more, but I will fully admit that the styling is more about being agreeable and handsome than even slightly adventurous (excluding the GTI – it stands out and looks excellent).
I don’t think the Qashqai is very interesting, but in a land where the Focus rules, it’s a bit hard not to stand out in whatever car you buy.
I’d like to see Nissan pull of a hot hatch version. They have AWD at their disposal and it would ring home the fact that this is a car aimed at the hatchback market and not the compact SUV one.
You’re also right about more affluent people buying them. I’ve seen a few top of the range ones around my house in West London. They look best with big wheels and metallic paint.

Currently own a Qashqai ( Dualis ) in the UK. It’s a 1.6 litre petrol front wheel drive which is the best seller over here. To date the Qashqai has been utterly reliable, and the ownership experience painless.
I test drove the latest Mk 6 Golf before deciding on the Qashqai, the Golf was well built , the ergonomics sound , but it just looked really dull and dated for a new model. The QQ has real road presence when viewed against the Focus , Golf, Astra set, making them look bland and unadventurous.
It is also managing to attract affluent people who previously would have automatically gone for a Golf. I’ve spotted loads around these “affluent” areas of London.
Great car that does all you require with extra character and style thrown in!

A colleague had one of these as a company motor in the UK and was extremely pleased with it. Certainly the interior finish is no Audi though.

>Built in Britain? No thanks…
Yes look at all those dismal and poor quality cars that the Brits build. Jag, Range Rover, Aston, etc. The UK factory where the Dualis is built is Nissan’s most efficient plant WORLDWIDE with the lowest number of faults per vehicle. Fact. Various Hondas and Toyotas are built in the UK as well.
