Hopefully, this hasn't already been posted. Pretty basic review but it's worth watching just to see all those beautiful shots of the midnight blue!

Thanks for posting. Nice to see the car moving in that color. Not a bad report.

Nice find, good review. I'm really loving that blue color.

I love that color! Strange that they said to be sure to option for the touring and nav and skip the auto, but did not mention the sports package and they were driving it.......

Well touring comes with the sports package right? I think they were just really pushing for that. I could give a rats *** about bluetooth, nissan's overpriced nav, reverse light or a super stereo system so its not worth the extra money for me =P

Thanks for posting Op. First time I have actually seen video of the midnight blue color. I did like the guys comments about manual transmission though, LOL.

Well bluetooth would be pretty handy for a manual transmission. If I had one my friends wouldn't he hearing me yelling "HOLD ON DUDE! I NEED TO SHIFT!" on the phone every few seconds when I am driving in the city.

As far as I know, the touring does not automatically come with sports package. Even building on Nissan NA, it gives option to add the sports package. I could be wrong though

Touring and sports package are two different things. You can have a touring model without the sports package and vice versa.

I just don't say anything while I shift... really pisses ppl off lol

An aftermarket bluetooth setup is super cheap. Most decent stereos have them now. I paid like $450 for the stereo and bluetooth install - with the mic in the stock location.

Honestly I almost never talk and drive at the same time. I will if its an emergency or going to be a very short <1-2 min conversation.

IMHO the hands free law is stupid as its the actual talking on the phone which distracts drivers more than not having one of the hands on the wheel. Just my humble opinion though...

The color is ok. But just doesn't pop.
