I love this car. I bought a 2016. Sv. The suspension on a curve and it hugs the road mine and has a sun roof and heated seats and cruise control great radio and CD player which sounds great not cheap or crackling noise at all and has phone service nice to say call so and so and it does. I went across town and was doing 40 mps. And got 45 miles to a gal it will show you every time you turn the car off what you did on mileage before you open the door on the panel. I'm anxious to take on the freeway to see what the gas mileage is there too. It had 20,000 on it when I bought it and paid 13,600 for it. I like it when it shows you how many miles before you need gas this is a nice looking car love to drive it all over. Fantastic car definitely a 5 star in my book

Two year old rust bucket

I thought I saw rust on the underbelly of the car when I first got it, but I didn't worry because I took it in to get an underbelly coating to protect my investment. Complete waste of money because now the truck lid is rusting in several spots. Two years old and it's already rusting out from under me. Manufacturers warranty won't touch it do to excessive miles. Garbage.

I bought my nissan from a reliable dealership and was driving it home and the radiator exploded. Then i got it fixed and the transmission failed as well as the ac never working. This car is the worst car ever. It’s extremely unreliable but it does have some speed. I love the look of the car but i can never count on it. Wouldn’t even drive it 1 hour away as i’m sure something would break. Left me ( a 16 year old girl ) on the side of the road way too many times. If i could trade it in i would. Do not buy this car. It hydroplaned everywhere. I thought it was my tires so i bought brand new 500 worth of cooper tires and it still hudroplanes me into ditches. Not just me some of my friends who have the same car have all the same problems!
