A/C compressor clutch quit a week ago and dealer had to order me one, the replaced the compressor stating it was faulty. I had the master cylinder recall done and a clunking noise in the steering fixed around 30k under warranty and this repair was done under my extended warranty with a $50.00 deductible.

Overall impression after 60,000 miles is positive, tires wear even, but rapidly. The OEM Bridgestones were good on grip but after 28,000 miles the tires felt unsafe in the rain. The next set was not much better and we have Goodyear on now, found a good buy on them. Rotations done per book and pressure checked regularly.

Gas millage has been good, aprox 27 mpg city and 33 hwy. Both sun visors have broken due to crappy plastic but otherwise the car has been solid so far. The front brakes will need replacing soon and have performed well reaching 60,xxx miles.

Would I purchase another one? I have to say we would, the car has served my family well so far and the CVT has held up good and if rpm stays below 2,500 the gas millage is not too bad. We have had several compliments on the size of the interior and appearance of the car from family and friends.

On a scale of 1 to 10 I would give it a solid 8.5 overall, add to this, the 2.0 is the easiest to change the oil on out of all the other cars we have owned makes it a keeper. :dblthumb:

Great review. I'm looking at a Sentra or Versa for the daughter and good to know they are doing well.
