Its great for that quick heading to the market, short trips to the country as long as as the roads are dry clear of snow and rain build up. The steering is great at that point, however, when the conditions get wet our icy, no matter how much asked is reduced there is still slippage.

Not so sporty

This is a decent all round car which Nisson likes to advertise as sporty. The styling is so/so but the thing that really holds it back is the dreaded continuously variable transmission (CVT) While having just shy of 300 horses the car is a major dog off the line. The CVT makes a loud howling sound but it lacks the snap of a normal tranny. Additionally, handling is mediocore at best. I only kept the car through 20,000 miles but had no mechanical problems. Traded for a leftover 2015 Toyota Avalon, my second one.

Car still runs great after 9 yrs. However, every time it rains , the interior gets soaked. Water either coming through sunroof or windows (both closed tightly). Yes, we unfortunately have no garage and experts have said tree sap has blocked some of the drains that allow flow of rain water out of the car. Dealer wants a fortune to investigate. So we bought full size cover to put on when ot rains

I have only had my car for one day but already a few things I like/dislike. I really love the comfort and power of the car. I have the Prem Package w/ Prem Tech package. The nav is good, not great. Thus far the most disappointing thing is the Voice Activation System. It takes too long to do anything with it. Like, when you press the button, it ask questions and you have to wait until the thing is done talking before you can talk. Then you move to the next level and it ask another series of questions that you have to wait through. Then finally you get to do what you want. They need to add short cuts. I might not be doing it right though. I can't complain though, great car.
