Terrible nightmare of a vehicle!!! The car had a manifold leak so bad that the exhaust was coming into the cabin constantly and gave me minor carbon monoxide poisoning. This is a KNOWN problem with these Nissans yet they refuse to acknowledge it. Not to mention the terrible wheel bearings and as usual, the Flintstones car Nissan rust. The wheel wells were in such bad shape I didn't bother to fix the leak or any of the other sh*t that was wrong.I NEVER WILL BUY ANOTHER NISSAN AGAIN THIS CAR WAS A PILE OF SH*T IN EVERY WAY, only thing i liked was the interior.
