Good, but needs a tighter turning radius

This model is a good size for what I need. My 2 sons have plenty of room in the rear.

This is my third Nissan, which this one is the best by far. It has just what I was looking for comfort with a sporty feel. The 3.5 V6 has amazing power if used with premium gas, but the downside is it only gets about 16 mpg on avg. It also has loads of great luxury features at a cheap price. The quality could be a bit better, but when compared to other midsized sedans it's above avg.

Rattles Ruin the Enjoyment

It's too bad that Nissan could not tighten up the interior of this car. The car is enjoyable to drive, gets decent mileage and is comfortable with minimal road noise. At 2500 miles I developed an interior rattle that comes and goes which is near impossible to have fixed since on two tries it did not rattle for service. It also takes forever to put the last 3 gallons in the gas tank but minor next to the rattle. Very annoying to listen to in a $30,000+ car so I'll put up with it for a couple of years and get rid of it.
