Forgot I had this thread lol.
I love this car. Nothing but good things to say about it. And now that I installed the little Grom Audio device that allows me to listen to music off an iPod, USB Drive, or using a 3.5mm stereo cable? Awesome. That was my biggest thing with this car when I got it (having to burn CD’s constantly) because I didn’t get that package, but now I have no issues.
As for the power, it’s plenty. This car can definitely get out of its own way, especially on the highway. Manual mode is a blast.
I’m getting about 18.8mpgs according to my onboard computer (mixed driving and somewhat aggressive driving), but too put it more factually…I can get 300miles out of a tank on my everyday driving. If I do all highway, I can squeeze out 350 or so. No different than my Maxima. The brochure says this car takes 20gallons of gas, but I have yet to get over 17 and I’ve been pretty damn close to empty. So really, I’m getting the same mileage I got on my Maxima. I’ll have to actually compute it one of these days.
It’s a little noisy on the road, but I think that’s cause I have crappy ass tires. Once I finally put on tires that I buy, I’m sure it’ll be great (Continental ExtremeContact DWS).
Yeah it happens. No biggie. I appreciate you guys trying to get me a deal.
I keep going back and forth with this. I want some nice rims (say 20x9 EXE Konvex’s) but I also am considering the stock 19" Sports. Being this is AWD and a little higher than the sport model, I may need a drop either way. However, I made a suspension review thread on the M forum and everyone is saying that the ride didn’t get that much worse. We’ll see. It’s gonna be next summer before I get wheels anyway.
