"so to begin, i had an 08 speed3 GT. LOVED IT! I do drive a lot for work, roughly 30-35k per year, so with almost 100k miles on the 08 it was time for a new one. there was not a doubt in my mind to stay with speed3. I do believe that powerwise the 1st gen is a bit quicker, probably due to weight. The exterior and interior fabrics really do grow on you very quickly too. i am almost 3 months in and nearly 9k miles down averaging about 25mpg. i do not "race" but occasionally get that itch in my right foot that is completely satisfied w this vehicle. I have a 1 year old son and no issues at all w car seat, stroller, toys, etc... I have installed a corksport CAI and turbo inlet pipe, again not much of a mod kinda guy but it does give the turbo an awesome swoooooosh and actually an additional mpg or two! Bottom line.. YOU CANNOT BEAT THE VERSATILITY FOR THE PRICE. space for kids or groceries, plenty of fun without them, and just an all around joy to drive. Btw.. no mechanical issues whatsoever w the 08 and clearly no so far in the 13."

"Sure it has a smile and is front wheel drive, but I enjoy driving it evertime i get behind the wheel everyday. Its a firmer ride has alot of power and a whole lot of fun! Its roomy and comfortable on long trips. I currently get about 27 mpg It is well worth the value. Great car if you can get over ext styling and torque steer. Other than that excellent car for those that like to have fun and want a cheaper hatch."

"Replacing best 4 door car, Altima SE 3.5 5speed. Nissan forgot about this car the year after they built it so moved on to next logical choice Mazdaspeed3. Everything else too big or expensive. The ride is very comfortable yet handling is great. Easy to drive slow, yet power is ready and waiting. Sounds great, nice hum and not too loud. Wife can't see speedometer, which was a must. Getting mid 20's on the highway at 80mph. Looks great next to the garage car(2003 911). 3rd week of ownership with no regrets."

"Best car for an average joe that has a heavy foot every now and agagain. I had 2 adults and two little children (still in car seats) seated relatively comfortable. I live this car and the new navigation screen is way better than the tiny one. I'm 27 years old father of two children and have no problem smoking you with my son in the back. Its ok because he has a recaro seat. Zoom zoom"
