So, tired of my surroundings and the bad weather, I packed a bag, tanked up my Nissan Magnite, and decided to head out. Normally, the spacious interior and the large 336-litre boot would have comfortably fit my friends and all their extra baggage. But this time, all I wanted for the company was the Magnite on open roads with stunning views.
After a few hour’s ferry ride, I was already itching to get back in the comfy cabin of the Magnite and hit the road. I planned to drive straight through the rest of the way to my destination. I found the directions on Google Maps, set up wireless Apple CarPlay on the crisp 7-inch touchscreen unit and set off.
The vast, lush farmlands of the rural areas I passed, full of freshly sprouted crops were a welcome change from the drab industrial backdrop of the city. Normally, I would have complained now about the roads being in ruins and how tiring it was. This time though, the Magnite's well-setup suspension was effortlessly soaking up all the ruts and potholes. All I had to complain about were the heavy rains hiding the view.

With the 1.0-litre turbo-petrol purring away effortlessly, I checked into the lavish heritage hotel before dark. The next morning, I enjoyed a little local sightseeing. I could have spent hours there drooling over the intricately carved stone sculptures and antique facades.
But with the sun thankfully high in the sky, I soon hit the road going west towards the sea. This time, they were wide, empty and butter-smooth. With the cruise control set, I chewed through the miles effortlessly because of how stable the Magnite felt at highway speeds. And the excellent balance between performance and efficiency from the three-cylinder engine meant I was saving time and money on this trip.
A while later the smooth tarmac turned to a rutty, slushy dirt road. But with 205mm of ground clearance and excellent suspension, the Magnite comfortably chugged along without me having to break a sweat. I made it to the coast of the gulf just in time to catch the sunset below the horizon. Meanwhile, large, fluffy rain clouds in the foreground were being sent inland to help breathe new life into the earth.

The end of the day meant the end of the trip. It was time to head back to the dreary grey skies and crowds of the city. But having finally got what I came for ─ a nice drive in a nice car to a nice place ─ I was happy. And dealing with the city streets shouldn't be too much trouble for some time now ─ not while the Magnite is around at least.
If you’re as impressed as I was with the performance of this compact SUV - you should seriously consider buying a Magnite today!
