Finally got to drive one! Had to go 70miles but oh well it was worth it. Test drove 6 speed manual front wheel drive. AWESOME! for what it is. Looks way cooler in person than in photos. Gear box was a little sloppy but that is comparing it to my Z. Clutch engagement smooth as butter upshift downshift this car doesn't need syncro rev matching. It's smooth, I didn't feel any jolts even when just letting go of the clutch it was smooth. Quick! The 3 different settings work. You can tell a difference between eco, normal and sport. Nifty. Seating is good, back seats fold flat, good handling good seating position. They are limited, don't know if nissan is trying to drive up demand but if they keep the cost down and not try to mark these up they have a huge seller on their hands. It drives well, I was impressed. The only thing it needs is a center arm rest. The rest is pretty impressive. Good job Nissan just don't raise the price up. Dealerships...... they are going to mark this up big time. Oh well they can play that game for the short run but it won't last in the long run. The outlander sport is not as quick but it sure does have a lot of features for the money.
