Something is totally off with the build quality, there are inconsistent body panel gaps around the car. The key problem area is the rear door which exacerbates the already bad road noise/wind noise that the car produces. When I pointed out my concern to the tech when the car was serviced I was told that this is within normal spec and told me to look at the new ones on the lot to compare - some where better but some where even worse.

This is not normal, the old piece of junk I had as a student had a tighter build.

I should have been more diligent at examining the car before purchase.

Update from Apr 23, 2018: I wasted even more time at the dealer. This 3rd construction and the resulting horrible wind noise are considered within normal production tolerances.

This was not normal 20 years ago.

Poor quality seals and/or poor workmanship on the side doors is leading to dangerously distracting whistling noise and wind noise from the rear door. The worst offender is the rear passenger side door.

Dealer says this is "normal".

On calm wind days at highway speeds there is the plain annoying wind noise that you would associate with a poorly constructed car from the 80s.

On windy days, the whistling sound is so bad that you get dangerously distracted by the need to look back and check if there is no random person seating in the back and whistling. This is so absurd that I have to crank up the volume and listen to loud music as a way to mitigate this safety concern.

Counting down the days until I can trade it back. Never getting near a Nissan again.

Update from Apr 20, 2018: Another visit to another dealer and.... still a noisy POS.
