What the heck are they doing here?

Quote »Nissan insists on outfitting its cars with pushbuttons for starting, and it's annoying. Booting up takes a little bit longer than you'd expect, it's certainly less positive than twisting a key and hearing a starter obediently whirr to life. What happens is you get in, stow the fob in its hard to find slot by your left knee ( it usually latches on after the third try), step on the brake and clutch and press. Then you wait. Eventually, the engine starts, and you're ready for liftoff.[/quote]

i think they're just drunk or something..cuhz there's no reason to insert the key in slot or what so ever,...just get in sit, press down on clutch/brake and press the PushStart Button, and PRESTO!

this was one of the worst reviews i've ever read, full of inaccuracies and mistruths...

"The mid-size form factor means there's a large trunk, and if that's not enough, folding the seatbacks opens up more room." ... the trunk is pitifully small on the coupe!

Also, he talks about push button start as if its not a luxury! Lexus, BMW, Infiniti does it, and its revolutionary, Nissan does it, and its annoying...

by far the worst review i've ever read!

As a contrast I though it was one of the best I've ever read.

Mostly because it glorified the 2.5S and had a lot of pictures.
