Im driving a 2011 Nissan Rogue! So far nice gas mileage on this loaner. Actually we got 2 loaner out from Nissan.. my wife armada is being repaired so they gave her a altima. That sucks tho they didn't give you a loaner. Id be very angry.!

That's where I bought my car from. This is my first time dealing with the service department (I do my own maintenance) but they were a nice dealership to deal with.
