This car handles remarkably in all conditions. It handles like the MX-5 of SUV's. The Only issues I have with it are in the engine department. that 4 cylinder is less fuel efficient and produces less horsepower than the v-6 in the CX-9

it is real that a japanese car offers a great difference in respect to quality, reliability, efficiency. i tried already several car brands and finally i end up getting hondas, toyotas or mazda....no nissan i would not try again a chrysler, chevrolet or ford

Its sleek,fast and has a ton more power than what my Honda CR-V did. Also a a better ride and overall better quality! I love it! It does take prem gas, but its worth it as it gives the power the turbo needs to run properly. Only thing that would be better would be a heated seat..

Don't understand why this car won so many awards...it really isn't that impressive

I bought the car as the 3rd driver. It was certtified for 3 years so I paid some extra on it, was not cheap but when you want some warranty you buy new or with a certified plan. The gas mileage is not the best but was not the worse in this car segment. Maintaining the car was quiet easy and inexpensive with coupons from major dealers around my home. All in all definitly a good price vs cost of owning it, for a SUV of that size which is way bigger than Sportage KIA, CRV and Rav4, or even Rogue, but stays under Pathfinder, Highlander and CX-9 models. Kind of have its own segment actually. I would advise the CAR to a young family mostly for the cost of ownership, or a young worker who wants to enjoy Turbo acceleration, with of course moderation.
