One thing I don't like about the car is the flooring or carpeting, if you reach under the front seats, the carpet feels and looks like it is glued to a form of cardboard, if I had noticed this before I purchased the car, I would not have bought it. I am a members of the generation X groups of society and good quality products are extremely important because longevity is expected as well as high performance. To tell the truth, I was really impressed about the size of the cabin, trunk and even leg room inside the vehicle. Front the outside it does not appear to be to roomy, but it is. I agree that such cost for maintenance was fair and reliable as well. The ride is very smooth, the easy shift of the transmission is based on some new technology that allows the ride to better than cars in the same class. Very fun to drive and easy to maneuver and park.

The definite high point of this vehicle is the mileage. I came from an SUV that had terrible mileage, so I was very impressed when I started driving this car. The tank is small (10 gallons) but I only fill it about every week an a half. I also think the car is very reliable. I have not had any huge issues with it, and Nissan is great about letting me know about making sure to keep up with maintenance. Nissan has great customer service and was great when I first got the car. I sometimes get a bit irritated when I come in for maintenance because I feel like I get treated differently because I am a girl, but that's a local issue more than a company issue. Overall, a great car with great reliability. The only reason I don't want to keep it forever is because it is very basic and I'd love for my next car to have more upgrades. This was more about my budget, though, than Nissan's offerings.
