Well, I think it's important that it has a lot of trunk space.
Well, I like that the trunk opens up automatically, I think that can be a time saver. I also like that it's a big vehicle.

The Nissan frontier has lots of engine power for the size.
I like the mid size, the bed size,four full doors and the four wheel drive.

2015 Nissan frontier - great purchase.
2015 Nissan frontier was a great purchase. My vehicle has 72,000 miles on it, but I have not had any problems whatsoever so far. My vehicle has cloth seats, and the way it is woven has depressions/dimples all of the cloth. The only downside to the cloth seats is it will sometimes snag on car keys, small hooks, etc.

It's always been taken care of when it comes to maintenance.
Like: it's comfortable and good looking truck, useful to move stuff easily (i. E. Furniture, etc. ). Dislike: its a medium size truck, maybe a full size truck would be better later.

2015 Nissan frontier sv review.
This vehicle is very reliable. It is the perfect sized truck for an everyday vehicle. It comes with many amazing features that you cannot get anywhere else. They're also extremely affordable, almost half the price of a competitors truck. I would highly recommend this truck to anyone looking for a smooth daily driver that can handle a workload.

Reliable, economical mid size truck.
Very comfortable to ride in. Economical, plenty of room for the two of us and our dog to travel. Very reliable. We have not had any problems with this vehicle. We would highly recommend it and would definitely buy another one. The color is black, although if I were to buy another Nissan frontier I would go with a lighter color. We love the interior. Very comfy and easy to keep clean.

It is like a family car but it's a truck.
The vehicle is a white truck that has four doors. There is enough room to carry three children in the back which I did when they were small. It drives like a car. It is very comfortable and good on gas. It has very good heat and air condition. It rides very smoothly and has a good audio system.

This pickup truck is a great choice for a smaller pickup truck.
This vehicle is three years old and has given me no issues. This is my first Nissan vehicle but it will not be my last.

Great gas mileage and storage. Never have had a problem with my truck.
Too small. Need more room for grandkids. Great on gas and performance. I love the seats and room for just myself. The air conditioner will freeze you out. The bed carries all my groceries and lots of pick up things for my family and friends. Maintenance is at a minimum.
accountCircle Yeshua D
Great vehicle for trips to the beach or getting groceries.
Love the car, it is a very simple base model that gets the job done. I enjoy driving a manual transmission vehicle as it lets me feel more in control of the vehicle. I would like to one day own an electric vehicle but for now this will do. Cheers to Nissan for making a base model all manual vehicle.

Lacks power needs more horsepower.
Lacks power taking off needs more horsepower and cheap radio in truck and headlights are to dim for a new truck all cars should come with led now.
accountCircle Tony B
Has more space than it looks.
My truck does not enough power generated. But has a nice look and is comfortable and stylish. Rides well but trembles too much.

2015 Nissan frontier review.
My truck is decent on gas, I have had it for three years. It is pretty reliable. It does have a rough idle issue when I start it after it was up but so far no recalls or problems I'd recommend it for someone as a work/utility vehicle. Has a small tank, 20 gallon capacity.
accountCircle Jane D
An amazing truck for everything and everyone.
So far I haven't ran into any big problems. It rattles a bit here and there. I am pretty sure the radio and center console comes loose a bit here and there. But it drives smooth as hell. The interior is easy to keep clean. It gets great gas mileage both commuting and in town...
accountCircle Tommy B
Good vehicle for the price.
Always getting check engine light problems, even when keeping up with all maintenance I have to replace the four tires soon and only had it for 2 years. The bed is too soft. It is aluminum and very thin. The truck drives smooth and have had no interior issues and the paint is like new. It is a very good looking vehicle. Overall it is a good truck for the price. I have been able to keep it pretty clean. I am planning on a long trip, and am a little worried about whether it can handle it.
accountCircle Zack S
They should know it gets great gas mileage.
I like the color of the truck. I don't like the size. I don't like the interior.

2015 Nissan frontier sv 4x4.
Everything great so far! Had it for almost 4 years now. I bought the truck from a used car dealership with no warranty but it worked out great the truck was in great condition and no problems. I added a lift and tires to my truck. No major problems going on just the regular tuneups.
accountCircle William S on April 20, 2021
I have added step rails, bed cover, and front bug shield.
Very reliable, with no mechanical issues. Performance wise, capable of towing just about anything (has the v-6 engine and the optional tow package). Rides and drives like you would expect a mid-sized pick-up to. Wish it rode more like a car and had come with the navigation system.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Craig Q.

My Frontier has a robust suspension, that handles bad roads well. It get good gas mileage, and look good. The engine requires very little maintenance, and I have put almost 220,000 miles on it with no problems other than scheduled maintenance.

likeFilled Zobedia R.

This car goes through the 18 ft of snow we have gotten like a champ and has the capacity to pull a camper trailer through the mountains. This vehicle also holds 4 people without a problem and gets decent gas mileage.

likeFilled Natalie E.

It is not bad on gas unlike other pickups. It rides nice. I like the hiding spots it has. The cup holders in the door are a plus and I like that there are two right next to the front seats and the two in back.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Craig Q.

The only thing I do not like on the Frontier is the turning radius, while many even larger trucks can turn in the normal radius of a road, I have to make a 3 point turn. There are no other problems with this vehicle.

dislikeFilled Zobedia R.

This vehicle will not tow more than the camper trailer that we have, the back seats are not the comfiest so I would not recommend it for long distance driving with people in the back. The vehicle also required runners for easier assistance into the car.

dislikeFilled Natalie E.

It is a little too small, not enough space inside. The steering does not turn as tight as other vehicles. It is very hard to reach the cup holders in the doors and very awkward. The cargo light button is too close to other buttons that I accidentally press it from time to time.

Is The 2015 Nissan Frontier A Good Value?

This vehicle costs between 12,000 and 19,000. We believe it is a pretty good value. I m sure a brand new model could cost over $25,000.
Sheree J.
Brand new it was 37000. I have gotten every pennies worth.. With the v-6 and all the bells and whistles heated seats engine break etc is strictly for off road but unreal in the city as well.

They are usually about 20,000-21,000 dollars. I think it is worth the money and I enjoy my car. I got mine for 17,000. It was a great deal.
