I own this car - My approximate mileage is 55,100

Pros: "fun to drive and powerful acceleration"

Cons: "low head room"

"I bought this car brand new in 2005 and love it greatly. no problems except for a shock mount went bad but that is it in 8 years. I love the horse power and acceleration. I would but this car again but it was only made for 2 years and they did not make many."

By Wingnut (MI) on Wednesday, June 12, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 140,000

Pros: "Fun, comfortable, stylish, great features"

Cons: "small cup holders, console box is clumsy, but ok"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 9

"The first time I got into this car and took it off the dealers lot, I thought to myself - oh my goodness, I am going thru their front window if I am not careful! I was then able to take it home for the weekend - that was 6 years ago now! I have had great luck with it in terms of reliability - I did have a couple of minor repairs early on - but nothing that broke the bank. It is an excellent car and fun to drive!"

not everybody's cup of tea but, i liked making mine two toned

"first off, let me try to think of any negatives. well, we broke a couple of the passenger side AC vents on the interior. go figure, your not suppose to hit or punch them. it seems like i can hear outside noise coming from the rear of the vehicle. probably has something to do with the 20" rims i put on it and air flow. if the car is locked, and you hit the unlock button, 30 seconds later they doors will automatically lock if no doors get opened. that can be annoying when you are inside, unlock the doors, walk outside and find them locked when u get there to grab something. I've never had a mechanic work on this vehicle. I've ran shell vpower gasoline for its whole life, and castrol syntec, which i changed about every 4k miles. the only things that i've had to change out myself was an O2 sensor, then some other kind of sensor that controlled the cruise controll and gear shifting, a battery, alternator, brake pads, and i've changed the tranny fluid at about 100k because i wasn't paying attention when i was going to do an oil change. the pans are similar looking but, on opposite sides. the engine always purred like a kitten and never had any ticks. I've driven this car all through louisiana, california and chicago. And my speaker system is clarion if you look at the 6x9s but, they still kicks hard bass clear, loud and undistorted, go ahead, roll down your windows and stunt. the battery in my key fob started to die, i went to walmart and bought a new battery, pried open the fob and and changed it, no biggie. when starting the car the air and heat are always within 60 seconds giving u what u want. i've never owned another car as reliable as this one. its a shame that i just wrecked it. i'll have about 8grand in claim monies and just may go back and buy the exact same thing all over again. this car is a sure bet. Its the biggest thing japan makes and it looks and works wonderful."

Nothing Compares!

By Lauroli (CA) on Thursday, May 16, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 61,000

Pros: "Excellent gas mileage"

Cons: "Horrible turn radius"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"The Bose Premium Sound System is incredible. I love the electric blue color because my car is easy to see in heavy traffic and/or at night. It's comfortable, drives well (with the exception of the turn radius - that stinks) and is without a doubt the best car I've ever owned! I'm looking at the new Nissan Altimas and none compare to my car. It's sad because to purchase a new Altima is downgrading from the 2003 I own now."
