> [@d. gage"](#): > > So now you’ve had this car for a few months, how do you like it??? I’m looking into something a little more upscale from my impreza. How is the power in a car this size?? and what kind of mpgs are you getting?? I love these cars and the sharp interiors. 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). > [@This reminds me a lot of NYSpeed....](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/this-reminds-me-a-lot-of-nyspeed/34128/7): > > I didn’t get my hands on the deal before he walked in the door, so my guy at Nissan couldn’t do anything besides put in a good word.

I appreciate you guys trying to get me a deal. > [@Ban Wearers of Crocs on NYSpeed?](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/ban-wearers-of-crocs-on-nyspeed/34126/22): > > This car is badass, I wouldnt drop it. Unless youre planning on doing wheels, then a small drop might be in order. Id be worried about messing up the ride quality. 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. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/ilyas-2007-infiniti-m35x/251992)._
