Sixth gear in the city? I wonder whether the noise is coming from lugging this pup? And that ain't good.

wow, thats the problem. My car does the same thing, its because you in too long of a gear and at a VERY low RPM. Try using 4th at 45mph, if you dont like that the you can use 5th but i recomend 4th.

check the owner's manual page 5-19.

Nissan says you should change to 6th gear at 33 mph (53 kmh) (for normal acceleration in low altitude areas -- less than 4,000 ft)

45 mph that's already 12 mph above nissan's recommendation.
