Not so sporty
 This is a decent all round car which Nisson likes to advertise as sporty.  The styling is so/so but the thing that really holds it back is the dreaded continuouslyvariable transmission (CVT)  While having just shy of 300 horses the car is a major dog off the line.  The CVT makes a loud howling sound but it lacks the snap of anormal tranny.   Additionally,  handling  is mediocore at best.  I only kept the car through 20,000 miles but had no mechanical problems.  Traded for a leftover2015 Toyota Avalon, my second one.
