drives like a dream

I rented this car to go for a 12 hour road trip. It was very difficult to get tired while driving this car. It was so enjoyable to drive. It has excellent acceleration and extremely smooth. Tons of features and options for optimal comfort. And I wasn't even able to turn up the volume to max, it sounded perfect. Nissan did an excellent job with this model.

Wanted to love it...

Coming from an Infiniti M37 I was extremely surprised at how comfortable and well appointed the interior was. They did a phenomenal job with materials and ergonomics. I didn't think I would like the CVT, but after a while it grew on me. It was actually more responsive than I thought it would be. Unfortunately, the ride quality is just not good. On very smooth highways and roads it is fine, but road imperfections, rough stretches of highway, speed bumps etc. make for a loud and jarring experience. And then there is the road noise. At speeds above 40 mph, there is unreasonably loud road noise, and if it's a windy day forget about making a call on the Bluetooth. It was so bad at times, I found myself checking to make sure all of the windows were up. I spent a few minutes in the SR trim, and the road noise and harsh ride quality was even worse. I was very close to pulling the trigger on one, until I spend the day with it.

A great car. Style, innovative ,overall very good.

Everything almost perfect. Transmission seems awkward, as it is constantly shifting at lower speeds. Annoying.

Impressive for a "Family" Car

Character, comfort, energy, safety, and lots of interesting gadgets. Cameras all over the place to help you watch where you are going. Quiet (Even better than our Corvette). Good pickup..won't beat the Vet, of course, but quite adequate!

Performance, style and comfort all in one package

I love the outside styling of my vehicle. A real head turner. Interior is luxurious with high quality materials and all the tech you'd ever want. Great power and reliability!

A great adult sports sedan

This vehicle feels like one of the high end cars from various manufacturers (Infinit, Lexus, etc). It has all the bells and whistles and is a real pleasure to drive.
