2016 Maxima SL

My car is only 3 weeks into the lease and it already requires an entire new sunroof. When filling up the tank to full it estimates 400 miles and after 3 full tanks I've only got an average of 250 miles a tank. I mostly drive highway and and haven't even used sport mode. I am disappointed a brand new car has such a serious defect right off the lot and may not have myou car for a few weeks.

Glove box latch hard to reach (centered) old Maxima had latch on upper left of door much easier to reach. Glove box storage poor. Passenger seat is to low. redundant control on console should have been used for storage, who needs three controls that do the same thing? car does not corner as well as my 2009 Maxima, tends to drift. Console storage very poor. No coat hook. Can't vent sun roof without fully opening shade. Poor headlights. Couldn't get use to the changes from 2009 and the low passenger seat so traded it in.

I love the sleek look of my new 2016 Maxima SL but wish I would have purchased something else. I acceleration is poor. The cost not worth the car. I bought it in super black but having issues with the dealer because it The detail shop waxed it and now I have a lot of swirls and scratches in the paint.
