 I needed a mid-size pickup and by chance I test drove a Frontier.  I was amazed!  Quiet, powerful, smooth shifting, solid build, comfortable and a decent price.  Almost two months after purchasing, I'm still very happy with my truck. Minor annoyances: 1. door handle placement requires long reach to close doors when seated, 2. overhead map lights are not shielded and light up the entire cab (a distraction to the driver), 3. lane changes require extra care due to blind spots with king cab.
