Good thing I changed my mind and didn't Lease my 3.5 SE

I picked her up just over a week ago September 26th and I already have over 1,500+ KM.

My sister has a slight issue with her seat but my brother who also drives the 2.5S says there's nothing wrong with it. Other than that, we are very pleased and happy with our Coupes!!

I just picked up mine yesterday w/ a 120 miles on it already but i did get it for about 250 less than any other dealer in the area. It has about 170 miles now.... Loving it so far. Noticed a slight vibration from the engine, can feel it on the steering wheel ...... is it normal for this or should I have it looked at? I did experience the seat rocking issue, hope there's a fix soon for that. Also the passenger air bag light keep coming up when my fiancee sits in it, sometimes it does sometimes it doesnt ...... may have to have them check the sensor ..... other than that it sure feels great

i've had mine for 4 weeks and 1 day. I picked it up with 13 miles on it (5 of which i put one when the dealer recieved it) I rolled 900 miles on it last night.

I've been trying to watch the mileage. I'm the kinda person that can easily burn 3/4 a tank in one night just driving around, purely because i love the car and i love to drive. So its been hard for me, but i try to keep pointless driving.

Am i satisfied? Yes. But i'll tell you what, 270hp doesn't feel as fast/strong as it did the first time i put my foot in it......

CVT is still really cool. Really neat the way it operates and the way it works with the power curve of the engine. I've pretty cool when you lean into it a little bit, RPM's kick up, transmission locks into that ratio, and THEN the engine picks up on torque and sits you back in the seat

Picked mine up 28-July with 170 miles on it. By 31-July I had about 1,500 on it, but I picked it up out of state and drove it back. Today I have 2,380 (that's a bene of living 3.5 miles from work - I put gas in it only 1 time the entire month of September).

Am I satisfied? Depends on how you measure satisfaction. Power (I've got 3.5), handling, styling...yes. Fit and finish...I'm becoming more disappointed every day. I picked it up with a malfunctioning parking brake indicator light. The black plastic cover on the door in front of the mirror (interior) is loose and rattles. The steering wheel facia is loose and rattles. The passenger seat belt is loose and rattles. The sunroof had some damn clip in it that was loose and, you guessed it, RATTLES. It actually pulled out so I solved that noise for the time being. I've got a list of some other minor annoyances.

It is nice to see other people checking out my car though. Came out of a restaurant just last night picking up take out and a family had just pulled in, wife was dragging the kids into the restaurant and father had walked over to my car to give it a good look.

Just pass the 2000 mark yesterday and only had the car for a month and 11 days.

Car is fine, no problems so far... i just wish it had more power

I'm kinda upset that i didnt get the 3.5 since the production is so limited at the time of my purchase...

Got mine in June and with 30km on it. I now have 8000km on it with one oil change, 2 new transmission fluid lines to fix a transmission fluid leak plus they had to install a new radiator because it had oil all over it, new brake pedal and brake light switches to fix a squeak, new headliner coming in soon since this one has sagged and the clip came off and rattles!, waiting for the air bag sensor to give a fault code....thats what the service manager told me before they can fix it, ummm might need to re-weld a joint where the exhaust meets mufflers because there was way too much condensation leaking out...mind you there shouldn't be condensation in there! The plastic surrounding the stereo makes clicking noises when hitting minor bumps in the road...sounds like a poor adhesion job...yes we all have the passenger seat belt rattle...too bad they didn't make a plastic piece in the side to slide the seat belt buckle in during driving....might just have to come up with my own or find a part from another car which I can't remember now that has it...

hmmmm other than that...OH yah my seat makes creaking sounds......I THINK that covers all the probs I've had so far......I'm very dissappointed in the fit and finish from Nissan with this vehicle....we bought a 2005 Altima brand new in 2004 and it never gave us such stupid cosmetic probs...but then again they had 5 years to refine it....ahwell, I love my coupe and the stares I still get!

This is my third car ('99 Pontiac Grand AM/V6 & '02 Acura RSX Premium) and the first time I've gotten this much attention and several THUMBS UP.

Women love the Push Start and the CVT Triptronic!

The others were also fresh, either re-designed/new models.
