Yahoo Autos The Weirdest, Most Annoying Quirks On the Adorable Nissan S-Cargo
I recently called the Nissan S-Cargo "a postmodern masterpiece," and as far as its design is concerned, I stand by that. Still, if your car won't stop chiming once you climb above 61mph, I understand if you'd decide to put a brick on the gas pedal and send it off a cliff after the second day. That wouldn't be too hard, either: They only came with an automatic transmission.
And not just any automatic. It's an old-school 3-speed linked to a 1.5 four-cylinder. It makes the engine work so hard at 60mph that despite being relatively small, the S-Cargo will empty its tiny, 7-gallon gas tank in no time. The teeny little van from Nissan's codename "Pike" experimental division simply does not like highway speeds. The mirrors act funny, but you should probably focus forward anyway, and especially avoid large trucks: A cracked windshield is rather impossible to replace. Oh, and no sharp turns, please! The rollover risk is almost as high as the headroom you get.
The rear seats might be more useless than a Porsche 911's. But this is a delivery van, and therefore you're not supposed to deliver people with it anyway. Why do you think the spare tire is under the passenger seat? More cargo space, duh!
What you should do instead is have a smoke: This blast from the past has a fully-functional, highly practical ashtray. And when you get to your destination, unloading will be a breeze, thanks to the automatic-opening tailgate.
