2012 Nissan Altima Sedan 3.5 SR 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl CVT)
Surprised by quality issue
 I recently sold my 03 Maxima and bought the 2012 Altima 3.5.Good looking car on the inside and out. I've had the car for 3 weeks and have driven 1,050 miles. 2 issues:1.)According to the MPG information in the dashboard, I'm only getting 25.6 miles per gallon. Since 70% of my miles have been on the highway, I'm surprised at the low mpg. (my 03 maxima got 32mpg on the highway).2.) When you first drive the car, it makes a gridning noise when shifting (at about 30 MPH).It only happens during the initial driving.After you pass 30 MPH, the sound doesn't happen again...until you turn the car off, start it again, and drive.The car is currently at the dealer to identify the problem.
