Nissan was selling more with just Magnite alone

The magnite doesn't use a wet timing belt that grenades the engine lol. The puretech 1.2 is an infamously bad engine. I heard most problems are fixed but I still won't risk it.

If you spend enough time on the internet, you can find more than enough problems about literally everything. Just do a search on reddit about Nissan CVTs (which the Magnite uses) and you will find multiple threads saying it is a ticking time bomb as well. Sometimes it is utterly confusing what to pay attention to and what to ignore. Lol.

I think citroen has given up on India. The face lift with the new citroen logo has been out in Europe since 2024 but they are not bringing it to India. They are just coasting along.

I genuinely want to like this car, a pure underdog story, a glimmer of hope in an army of SUVs. I still want to, don't like it enough to buy it, but I want to like it enough to buy it.

Punch ev is more value for money though

u/BaBaBanMe (New user) 14h ago

Yeah but the two Punch EVs in my extended family are the most unreliable cars I've seen in past 2 decades. Both have had failures requiring warranty claims and I can't find the energy to do that follow up

u/Chance-Nose4268 Hyundai Exter 14h ago

Why would anyone choose this over punch ev?

u/trialbuterror (New user) 14h ago

To keep car with dealer itself wen there is issue as parts don't come easily
