Great car, OEM tires are junk

Leased new, car is very comfortable. HUGE ISSUE with Nexin OEM tires. Had to replace all 4 tires after 13500 miles due to wear. Dealer would not replace until I purchased new tires. OEM tires were rated at 70,000 miles and Nexin company offered Sox $143.00 total toward new ones. Replaced with ANOTHER BRAND TIRE,cost apx $800.00

Wanted a good commuter car - that's what this is

Plenty of legroom (I'm 6'4"). Reasonably quick and good handling, of course it's not a sports car. Gas mileage 31-32 on my commute, 35-36 on the interstate at 75 mph. Probably the best value in this size class, I didn't see any need to pay the premium for a Honda or Toyota.

Quality at Fair price.

This car looks great and is roomy for a mid-size sedan. The ride is smooth. Handling and gas mileage is good. The interior is set up well.
