I wanted something that looks sporty with great mileage I found it. I drove hundreds of cars and this one here turned out to be my favorite. One thing about this car you need to know right away it only brkes for traffic when you have the progressive cruise control on. The front emergency stop only works for pedestrians. The rear will stop for pedestrians or anything else. The Toyota Corolla did not have enough room in the backseat for a 6 ft tall person to sit up straight. The Honda Accord and Civic along with the Malibu or the cruise have a 1.5 liter engine. They had a turbo charger on them to make up for performance. It has a cost. The turbochargers are prematurely failing or the valves for them. They are are causing diluting of the engine oil with gasoline now.. Turbochargers only belong on the larger diesels with high compression.. if I had to do it all over again I would buy another one I'm very happy with it the only problem I have is getting out and in.. hopefully this information helps people looking have a good day...

Manufactured in a rush?

I really like the outside look of the car. I love the black trimming detail. The interior is nice as well and the seats are comfortable. It drives very smooth and you hardly feel any bumps on the road. Now There are a few things I don’t like. First off the infotainment system is very glitchy and sometimes CarPlay doesn’t turn on right away. I’ve taken it to be serviced for this but it wasn’t resolved 100%. The backup camera could use improvement as it is kinda blurry. The car is noisy when you turn it on and accelerate. It sounds like a car over 10 years old. Also, a few months after getting the car, I noticed a noise when I would turn and then a little after 10,000 miles I noticed my brakes screeching. I’ve owned this car over 2.5 years and I would not recommend it unless you’re in a budget

Comfortable

Seating is more comfortable than our CT4, front and rear. Pro reviews are way off as usual. Purchased for 16 year old son. No one needs a car that accelerates for a race track. I drive a 2003 Ranger that is truly slow. If I am first at stoplight, next car is half block behind. Most drivers have horse and buggy reactions. Safety features are robust. If you are looking for car for teenager can't go wrong. Purchase Nissan extended warranty. Modern cars can drain you out of warranty. Computer on wheels.

Ok, so: they took 3 months to diagnose and fix the engine mount that had been rattling since I bought it in May, Then the gear shift came right off! Wish I could post a pic! The front end collision warning light flashes off and on, for no apparent reason. Snow, fog, sun, rain, it doesn’t matter. It just arbitrarily blinks. As I that wasn’t enough! It does the emergency brake thing fir NO reason. It just did it again today! Just decided to brake for fun. Don’t worry about the traffic behind me who think I’m slamming on my brakes for fun! Add to that the NEW rattle in the front right of my car. It sounds like it’s coming from the glove box, but I emptied it. And it’s getting worse everyday. What can I say? I should have bought the Mazda I was looking at. SO done with this car!

Beautiful Car with Issues

At 500 miles and the car drains the battery overnight with nothing left on. Now for the past 3 nights the headlights are shutting themselves off while driving in the dark and will not come back on for several minutes.
