Faults:

Fuel pump went out with no warning about two weeks after I bought the car. Right after I replaced it, the 'check engine' light went on, but I was able to reset it and it hasn't come on since.

The odometer also has a tendency to stick a little (has stuck twice), but the numbers can be jarred loose by repeatedly pressing the trip odometer reset button.

General Comments:

This is such a fantastic car. It's very fast for a 4-cylinder, it handles great, and is solidly put together. There are virtually no rattles even on bumpy roads.

The front seats are comfortable. Unfortunately, the back seats are almost un-inhabitable if you are a larger than an average-sized adult. Probably okay for short trips, but I wouldn't want to sit back there on a four-hour drive. But nobody buys a sporty car for the back seats.

Fuel economy is okay, I get about 22 MPG doing mostly city driving.

Nissans tend to be very reliable vehicles. My feeling is that if you put the needed maintenance into the car, it will last for many years. The only financial downside is that collision insurance is a little on the high side.

Faults:

My muffler broke and I still didn't fix it. It sounds better than it did. Don't put crayons on your seat when it is 90 out, it causes major problems. It needs a cup holder.

General Comments:

I beat the crap out of this car and it just keeps going. I smoke the tires and I redline it everyday. It is a fun car to drive and I don't think it will break down soon. It is cheap and has a little power for those people who think they are speed racers with there rice burners.
