I noticed the first time I test drove it a couple of years ago.

Down force ... that's my story and I'm sticken' with it.

I agree about the mirrors. When I first got the car I almost pulled out in front of a car at a 4 way stop just because I couldn't see him. I'm used to it now and pay close attention. They really are bigger than necessary though. Then again, I drive my girlfriend's Miata quite often and it's wing mirrors are too small.

My complaint is just with the gas prices. With the actual car? None really. I do wish the base model brakes were just a little nicer looking. Even on the 2014s, they look like they have been sitting in a bucket for years waiting to be used (which may not be far from the truth)

I actually do have a 2nd complaint about this care, minor but still a disappointment. I bought a 2014 coupe with Sport package so I end up with the base radio which seemed fine to me.. AM-FM-CD with 4 speakers. That's how it's described by Nissan literature.. Fine with me. When I get the car I'm thinking the rear speakers aren't working. I go into the radio settings to see if the FADE setting is set correctly. It was, dead center (50% front-50% rear) THEN I realize the 4 speakers they speak of are all FRONTS, one in each door, 1 in each upper corner of the dash. Really? What a crappy set up that is....

...and my experience with the Bose set up is that the two tiny subwoofers over the spare aren't much help...

why do you even need rear speakers on this car anyway..

consideirng people were buying s2k cr back 2009, it kinda surprised me the base even came with a radio (and ac)

Tazicon · 07-09-2014, 02:27 PM

I found in the best cars you don't even want to turn the radio on..............

This car is just a daily driver for me. Nothing special. It has speaker grilles in the side panels behind the seats and the radio has a FADE control. SO, why should I not want or expect rear speakers?
And why shouldn't it have AC?

You guys apparently have different ideas of your intended use for these cars than I do.. Just an inexpensive car to get from A to B for me...
