The Mitsubishi Outlander strikes all the right notes making it one of the few compact SUVs that ticks all the boxes when it comes to interior space, fuel efficiency, off-road capability, and affordability. It’s the Swiss army knife of the SUV world, so to speak. This has propelled it to the top of New Zealand’s SUV kingdom where it outperforms its rivals such as The Toyota Rav4, Honda CR-V, Subaru Forester and Mazda CX5. The secret to its success was in its simplicity but modern technology has made it evolve to become a complex SUV. The Outlander PHEV, which is the electric-hybrid version is an example of this complexity and most buyers struggle to figure out the right Outlander to buy. Making an informed decision is critical when buying an Outlander. In this guide, we help you navigate the minefield of buying a used Outlander. We give you actionable information to help you approach a dealership confidently and go about evaluating the Outlander systematically.

The Mitsubishi Triton, alternatively known as the L200, builds on a longstanding history in New Zealand as one of the most practical and utilitarian pickups in this market. Historically, it set itself apart from its competitors that include the Toyota Hilux and the Isuzu D-Max with its simplicity. The Triton got the job done in the most practical way possible and this is all that mattered. These credentials elevated the Triton to become the leading pickup both in commercial and private applications. However, the Triton has onboarded modern technology that has made it a complex pickup that is prone to problems. Issues such as DPF failure and EGR problems have become chronic. It now requires a buyer to be extra vigilant when buying a used Triton. In this guide, we will equip you with the right information to buy a problem free Triton.

Long before Tesla became the cool trend in electric mobility, the Nissan Leaf was making major inroads in the electric car segment and it carved out a name as the first electric car to achieve commercial success. In New Zealand, it has achieved great success thanks to the growing concern for the environment and demand for efficiency. The Nissan Leaf, like all electric cars is inherently complex and nowhere is this more prevalent than the used car market. The amount of conflicting information on the Leaf out there is overwhelming and it can be quite daunting for buyers to get to the facts.

The Nissan Navara has undergone tremendous change over the years and it’s now one of the best pickups in the market. It’s a versatile truck that can be deployed for various applications such as hauling cargo, family transport and off-roading. It faces stiff competition from its perennial rivals such as the Ford Ranger, Toyota Hilux, Mitsubishi Triton and Isuzu D-Max which are all excellent pickups. What sets the Navara apart is its strong off-road capability, spacious cabin and affordability. It’s however haunted by a history of unreliability mainly with the first generation but the issues still linger on with the subsequent generations.  In this guide, we will tell you how reliable the Nissan Navara is and the problems to look out for when buying a used one.

This owner’s manual applies to the 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 & 2016 Nissan Note models. Right-hand drive.

When it comes to efficiency, practicality and affordability, nothing beats the Nissan Note. You will be hard-pressed to find an alternative that can match it across these parameters. In New Zealand, the demand for the Note is shooting through the roof but historically, the Note has not been stellar. It takes a hit when it comes to long-term reliability and stories abound of how it does not age gracefully. Its engines have also been fingered to be less than stellar when it comes to longevity. Is this still the case or has the Note improved? This is the question we seek to answer.
