As we get older and more involved with everyday expenses, we become more aware of the worth of every item we purchase with our hard-earned money. As time passes, we learn from our previous expenses and are not easily swayed by our wants. To make it short, we become wiser buyers as we age because we have learned from the past. We want to ensure that every peso was worth giving up and that every purchase was satisfying. But we cannot be sure if we are getting our money's worth with each deal, and that shouldn't happen.

Why?

Because if we cannot be responsible enough for a small amount of money involved, how much more if you have to purchase something worth more than a million? If you were to acquire a house, would you spend your millions without knowing every detail? Would you give your go-signal without gauging if it is a good investment? The same principle applies when you choose a vehicle.

Does this model have all the traits I am looking for? Does this model serve the purpose of why I am buying a vehicle? Are its features worth its price tag? As all answers to these questions should be confirmed before signing a check, a responsible buyer should take the time to know what a particular vehicle has to offer.

For example, you are eying the 2022 Nissan Navara. It is available in the local market from Php1,041,000 up to Php1,781,000. From that price offer, do a little research on how much its rivals in the same category cost, as it will give you an idea of where the Nissan Navara sits on the price board. If it comes out that it is on the pricey side, you must find out what makes it cost more. Similarly, you should know why it costs way cheaper than its competitors.

What does the 2022 Nissan Navara offer in return for Php1,041,000 to Php1,781,000?

First of all, what does the Nissan Navara highlight? Nissan has developed several aspects of the Navara to become the most comfortable pickup truck among the competition. The primary part of this is what's underneath. The multi-link rear suspension with dual-rate coil springs is one of the best in its category. With this setup, the Navara can carry up to a tonne of cargo and still offer passenger riding comfort when unladen. It looks impressive when you read it on the brochure, but it shouldn't end there. Do the brochure's glossy adjectives translate to real-world experience?  Well, the best thing to do is to discover it yourself with a test drive. 

Aside from the suspension setup, its zero-gravity seats contribute to the overall riding comfort of the Nissan Navara. It has the same function as the suspension; it absorbs the bumps so the passengers can cruise off-road without sacrificing comfort. And to be honest, I'm impressed, as it is the only pickup truck in the local market with such a seat design. Aside from that, Nissan is still known to offer the best air-conditioning experience in the entire automotive world. You can agree on that without researching and asking too many people. Imagine the comfort you can experience with the Nissan Navara with these features.

What else does Nissan Navara have to offer? That's the next question you should seek an answer to after knowing the features it highlights. Aside from comfort, Nissan Navara also promises outstanding performance on- and off-road, especially with its top-of-the-line variant PRO-4X. Although several car reviewers say that the Navara is one of the toughest on every terrain, the best thing to determine is to try it yourself and see if it will pass to your preference. With that, you could prove if its 2.5-liter engine can pull the entire weight out of the mud or in other tricky terrains. It's easy to hear someone say that the Navara has powerful torque output at 450 Nm, but you must also feel it to see if it is good enough for your needs.

And since the Nissan Navara is a massive pickup truck, maneuverability is a point to consider. Just because it's good enough for off-road excursions doesn't mean it won't excel over paved city roads.  Most people who buy pickup trucks use them more inside the city. That is why it also has to be easy to drive. The good thing is that the 2022 Nissan Navara comes with a 360-degree camera – an intelligent around-view monitor with moving object detection. It's like seeing every angle of the car, which is good considering the size of this pickup truck.

Knowing whether your prospective model is worth it is just an idea. Ask yourself if the vehicle as a whole meets your expectations. Because even if it comes with all the advanced features in the world, it is of no worth if it doesn't answer your needs.
