 Pros:Decent ride.Cons:-Poor acceleration. If you back off accelerator then press the pedal again there is a 1-2 second hesitation. Is dangerous at stop signs and annoying on highway.-Transmission slides into gear and can be jerky and slapping. No solid gear grabbing like an American car.-Paper thin exterior paint (hood is already chipping).-Glove box is huge, but it's mostly door with very little interior shelf storage space.-Car is drafty like an old house. Even with interior heat settings I feel the occasional cold breeze (not a/c).-Average gas mileage is 28mpg (rated at 33/40).-Telescoping steering wheel barely extends, I had to move seat forward to comfortably reach wheel.-Visors are so tall (almost 10 inches) that you have to duck your head to move visor from windshield to side window. Not a very safe design. Also, they're not long enough side-side to block sun from top corner on windshield. -Poor back support in front seats. I have to use pad or packing bubble for proper support. Cause you to slouch on drives lasting more than 5 minutes.-Heat control is very poor. Car will not hold a steady temperature; uneven heat from vents. I am constantly tweaking the heat dial.-Biggest con is that when I turn on the windshield defroster, the A/C comes on and you cannot turn it off! When you switch to defrost the A/C actually kicks in & the temperature drops 25 degrees. Literally! I complained to dealer and to Nissan and was told that this was normal and there was no fix. They said it was designed so the dry A/C air would defrost the windows faster. Who does that? Chicago in January & the last thing I need is the A/C running. (I bought the car in the warm weeks of October, who thinks to check the heater?)-Passenger whistles when there is a cross wind.-I can get around the lacking back support & short reaching steering wheel, but the poor mileage, noisy window & the incredibly annoying HVAC controls/design make this the worst car I have ever owned. I bought my first car in 1970, so that's saying a lot.-My first NEW car in 25 years, and I had to walk into a Nissan dealer. Never again.
