Runs Great!

The car has all bells and whistles thwart you would expect in th SL level. It is a pleasure to drive, very reliable, and great on gas. I plan to buy it or lease another.

It had some problems

The car was ok,but had problems from the start, sensor light that would not go out for a while (it was fixed after about 4 service calls),started to have a rattling sound. I only had the car a year that's when I traded it for the Altima. It was good on gas,but the Altimas better.

One of the best car I?ve ever driven in my life. G

The car is amazing and reliable to all your needs. If I?ve ever need more than one car I?ll buy all those cars I like it from this car dealer. They sell the best cars in the world.

Comfort, Affordable, and Stylish!

I love this car! My first purchase and it has been amazing so far. It was originally my rental and so I searched for it on Cars.com and found one that I love, in my area. I was in a hit & run so I was already stressed but so overjoyed and relieved when I found this car.

Decent vehicle but nothing special.

This car has many features that are cool but what it lacks in power it does not make up for. It lacks any power even in sport mode. The gas mileage is great, the comfort is not so much because of the stiff seats. There are so many additional features that I don't even use. There is too much going on for a midsize car. It is reliable though and I would highly recommend getting tented windows though.

We love this car!

A great car for family road trips & around town. It's comfortable and reliable. This is the 3rd Nissan we currently own. We would buy this car again.

Basic car for light travel

This car lacked in power even though you could put it into "sports mode". Freeway travel was difficult as the vehicle would not keep a cruise above 75 mph and would lug out going uphill. Nice for a small car to get you to work and back. Back seat uncomfortable so really wasn't a nice family car. This was a basic car without any extras so you get what you pay for but I am a short customer and the seat adjustment was not compatible with my stature.
