I like the most that the vehicle is compact. It is easy to park and maneuver, and also provides great gas mileage as a result of the smaller size. I also love that it is a hatchback. It allows the room of a much larger car when the back seats are folded down. And trunks allow for so little room, so the large area behind the back seats is great. The gas mileage is a huge plus, especially on longer road trips. Yet with the size of the back, I can still carry other people and luggage if I need to travel. The price was very affordable, even new. It was only $14,000 new, and Nissans are very dependable vehicles. I am at almost 90,000 miles and haven't had any problems with the engine area of the car yet, which is wonderful for a car that is 5 years old and with so many miles. Little things have gone wrong with it, like the passenger's side window not rolling down anymore, but it's such a small problem I just don't bother to go fix it. I feel safe in the car, and I feel like it will last me a very long time, which is important to me in a vehicle.
