Advice to Buyer:
Take it for a spin - for the money, you cannot find a more refined, fun to drive car.
Detailed Review:
The first thing that you will notice about this car is the outstanding treatment that you get from the Infiniti Dealer, in my case, in Cincinnati, OH. They made this entire car buying experience an enjoyment. Now, to the car - it is a wonderfully built, refined piece of machinery. It may not have the power that most people will crave, but for my wife, it is a perfect car: compact (though roomy enough for four), handles excellent ('can drive with one finger', as she says), and, most notably, is a very smooth riding and quiet vehicle - even with the four cylinder engine! Simply put, it is a much better riding car than my '99 Maxima SE. It also seems to be screwed together better than my Maxima, also. Headroom is good enough, though some 'larger' drivers may feel a little confined as far as hip and shoulder room, and some taller drivers may be cramped when it comes to leg room. My wife and I are average and we fit quite nicely into the car. The color of ours is 'Autumn Bronze' which is a regal looking color, accentuated by the dealer installed gold package, which is understated and not pretentious at all. The standard 100 watt BOSE stereo is great (though not as great as the 200 watt Bose unit in my Maxima). In summary we are VERY PLEASED with this vehicle!
