imho, Looks are subjective to packages. The torquey VQ35DE just make this a sick car to drive. It pulls so hard when you floor it. The aggressive DRM programming make the CVT tolerable to use.

No need to worry. Sounds like it will be in a scrap heap long before 100K Jeez... good luck getting everything resolved. I'd unload that once you run out of warranty..

Luckily, my fiance is a mechanic so he will keep a good eye on it and look out for anything out of the norm. I sure hope it lasts because I have really grown to love the CVT.

I think the wing will definitely be good. I would love to drop it because it does look so much better that way, but the way the suspension is now is incredibly comfy. Not sure that I want to sacrifice the comfort.

I loved my Altima Coupe. Still miss it from time to time. I got a Speed3 to replace it because I needed to have something more conducive to hauling around drums and hockey gear since I bought my Z. When I'm just driving back and forth to work I really miss it. It was much more comfortable and had nicer amenities than the 3 (save the streaming bluetooth on the 3's bose - i love that.)
Mine was a 2010 3.5 6MT in Super Black on red leather. Everyone talks about how hard they are to find, so I thought I would have an easier time selling. Nada. Had it for sale over six months before I ended up trading. I had a Greddy Spectrum Elite catback, Racingline y-pipe, Tein S-techs, AEM Intake, and RL short throw shifter. The best mods for a fun, reliable daily drive. With the bolt ons I probably needed a tune, but from 4000 RPM onward it really moved. Great car. I had only one issue with mine - the factory fill on the brake fluid was low, which would cause the VDC/Slip/Brake lights to come on. I got that filled up and drove it for 44,000 miles until I traded it with zero other issues. Hopefully you'll do just fine with yours. |

Swifts feel like oem. actually a little smoother on normal bumps, just a little firmer on some of the harsher bumps.

I had an Altima 4-door prior to my Z and loved it. One of the best cars you could get for the money. Put the Camry to shame. I wanted to get the coupe but the 4 door was just more practical for my needs at the time. Congrats, you will enjoy it very much.

You seem to have a very narrow perspective on life. Didn't you make a post about not being negative anymore?
