This is my first Nissan and I simply love it. I have always been a Ford person but not anymore.

Transmission problems, automatic braking radar sensor problems, paint quality control, leaking windshield, poor interior quality. Lots of rattles. Especially the rear sunshade.

Cramped

Looking for a car that had some space. Trunk is small. Front seats comfy but, felt like confined space wise. Ride was nice. Bought an Impala. A car with a huge trunk and more cabin space. In your review the breakdown in each category would only register GREAT OR POOR. OK would not register in the survey. Big difference in describing the customers view points. Fix it or delete it.
