Excellent Buy! — It's a lot of car for the money with tons of extras including XM satellite radio with NavTraffic and NavWeather. Dual panel moonroof w/power sunshade is my favorite. A great family sedan with style, performance, and reliability. A must see...

Nice BOSE 9 speaker system

Cons

TERRIBLE STEERING !!!! My hands hurt from having to keep them firmly on the steering wheel.  This car has some kind of new steering system - it's terrible.  Had I know this I would never have purchased this car.  I have the beginnings of arthritis, and I am going to get rid of this car because my hands, fingers and wrist hurt from the hard steering.

Also backing up is not good - there is limited visibility (even though I have a back up camera - I'm old school and don't like that - I was trained to look where you are going).

Bad Steering System - The Odor Of "burining Coolant" From My Brand New 2012 Maxima! — I should have purchased an Infinity! My payments are $700/month with Nissan 1.9% for 60 months. This is way too expensive from a slightly above average car. You can definitely find something for alot less, or buy an Infinity or Lexus!
