| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2013 | 4dr Sedan 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 7-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
Nissan has set the bar pretty high on this car. Highly recommended. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
Neat and clean |
| 2008 | 2dr Coupe 175-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
looks thoughful and well put together. Interior does not look cheap. I like the keyless ignition, doors and trunk. |
| 2008 | 2dr Coupe 175-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
Fit and finish are excellant very good materials used in interior, not all hard plastics |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
The car is made of excellent material for its price and Nissan has been regarded as a very reliable car company for sometime |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
Nissan has done a very good job of keeping the nice stuff where you look and feel, unlike others who put obviously cheap plastic where your arm rests or eyes come in contact with on a daly basis |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
no squeaks or rattles |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
The gaps are consistently narrow and squeaks and creaks are nearly absent. |

| 2013 | 4dr Sedan 182-horsepower 2.5L I4 CVT FWD |
Being a big car, I can't help but shake the feeling the car is 'thin' in sheet metal. It's probably going to take some getting used to, but quality is top notch, no loose cables, rattling or misaligned pieces. |
| 2008 | 2dr Coupe 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed manual FWD |
seems a little more attention to detail was needed |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
uneven gaps cheap paint mis-matched colours inside and headlight cover or housing is really cheap !! |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.5L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Pathetic arm that needs to be put in place to keep the hood up. Cheap plastic on the inside. Rattles. |
| 2004 | 4dr Sedan 245-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed manual FWD |
The interior simply looks cheap and ill-fitting, and the controls operated with a less positive feel than I would expect from a car of this price. |
| 2002 | 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
This falls in to small things not meager problems examples armrest metal screws used to screw and hold the armrest in place and that broken now over fitting parts in some places leading to cracks or big rust problem in driver and passenger flor and more. |
