So I just picked up this new gem. 16.7k on the odometer, super clean, and still smells like a new car! I'm loving the ride so far, and for a 2.5 4-cyl it has a nice power band. Since this is the fairly basic S package, my first priorities are wheels/tires and installing a double DIN touch screen stereo. After that will be window tint and smoked tail light covers.

I just want to say thanks already for a great forum and all the contributions. It definitely helped me make my choice to buy the car!

Here's it is, in all it's bone stock glory!

New radio install day went super smooth, thanks to previous posts here. Ordered the stock Nissan double DIN navigation dash panel, backup camera, wiring harness adapters, and a Kenwood deck. Looks super clean and I'm really amazed at how good the stock speakers sound now that they have a bit more watts going to them. I'll probably still add a set of nice 6.5" components with some tweets in the door panels, but even stock it sounds great.

Just for reference, this post had all the gory details I needed for the installation and was a great resource:
