Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!! Spolier is not my love.
Anyone has a Dark Slate color trunk lid with NO spoiler to swap for one w/ a spoiler from a Brand New Dark Slate 07 3.5 SE? Prefer someone in any state bordering Iowa/Illinois becasue anything beyond driving distance is prohibiting.
Even a 2.5 model will work but each of us will have to cover ourselves for the model number logo. I will keep my chrome piece above license plate.
In all cases, I will take your third brake light if removable and the spoiler itself has that fancy brake light built in.
The comfort is good and the seat seems to be breaking in. It was a little firm to start but now is very nice. Good back and lumbar support for me. If you really need extra lumbar support you will have to go past the convenience package and get the SL which as adjustable lumbar support.
From the 3 seconds that I played with it, it was not impressive.
What are your thoughts on the stereo that is standard on the 3.5SE?
Has anyone upgraded to an aftermarket sound system?
Has anyone found/had any problems with their cars yet? Sometimes when starting mine, it kinda sounds like it's grinding. Don't like that!
Otherwise I think we're doing ok - I still haven't had the first oil change done, but I think that'll happen this week.
as for the stereo, it nice, but a little lacking. no eq, just the bass and treble to set. not too terrible as far as stock stereos go, but I'll probably replace it in the next month or two.
My main wants are:
1-Excellent clarity (even with the windows down)
2-Versatility (ability to accurately reproduce a wide range (highs and lows) of music, from classical symphony to heavy metal)
3-HD FM-Ready/CD/MP-3 capable and i-pod ready.
4-Built-in equalizer
5-Removeable faceplate
I'm not as 'picky' as I may seem. My old car ('94 Taurus SHO) had a great (non-branded) factory stereo with 4 speakers, no external amp and no equalizer, but it sounded great.
I'm not well-versed in audio lingo, but does such an animal exist (in my price range)? And can anyone suggest a set-up/configuration (or good website with comprehensive info). (I want to be able to just walk into a store and say, "Set me up with the following."
This is my first post.
I am shopping for a 3.5 SL and have gotten what I feel to be some decent quotes right around $26,000.
These dealers are outside Chicago.
Any thoughts on whether these are good prices for the Chicagoland area?
I am going to visit one dealer this weekend and would like to know something before I go. The price includes Splash Guards, Floor Mats and Aluminum Kick Plate.
Not sure about delivery charge yet.
Quick question, Silver or Dark Slate?
Which do you feel looks better on the Altima?
I know thats a loaded question but look forward to the results.
Thanks to everyone for your help.
(B777 nice aircraft by the way... I work Ops Control for a DC10/MD11 operator... sigh...)
that will tell you how to put your car into diagnostic mode, and what the codes mean.
Any ideas of what's happening?
Thank you for your assistance.
Grean-
I am shopping for a 3.5 SE, I received a quote last week for 22,900. The dealer is located in Orlando, Florida. I think that it is a good quote based on my research so far. Any thoughts on whether this is a good price?
Thanks for you help!
Good luck - keep us posted!
I trade in a 2002 Maxima SE Leather and I was very impressed. The 2007 Altima 3.5 I test drove impressed me enough to pursue the lease. First, I am a 6'2" and 260lb male. The car fits perfectly with lots of head room. The seats are comfortable and overall cabin space is huge. The back seat fits everyone in my family and we are all over 5'9".
The Navi based entertainment system works flawlessly and is easy to use. The integrated Blue Tooth telephone system makes phone calls dialing and answering a breeze. It was a snap to setup.
The Bose sound system doesn't really show it's performance until you play CDs, we were playing some Cuban dance CDs on Saturday night and it was like we were in the crowd and not in the front seat of my Altima.
My XM SAT subscription took 20 minutes to complete and I really enjoy the music and events available on XM. All my presets are set to XM.
The 3.5 and CVT feel very balanced. An example of the performance is on the Saturday after I had taken delivery, my wife and I took the new ride to visit my wifes mother 2.5 hours away. It is a quiet ride with bursts of traffic. Along the way, we came across a group of calls going below 55. The road was clear and I signaled and pushed the accelerator to down but didn't mash it to the floor. As I was passing I remembered the line in the break in recommnedations not to exceed 4000 RPM for the first 1200 miles. As I was passing the last car I looked at the dash, I was doing 3500 RPM at 100 MPH. The ride was smooth, no vibration, no wind noise, just the sight of 5 cars disappearing behind me. The smile on my face was huge.
Changing lanes, leaving the stop light all are quick and you are up to road speed in no time at all.
My Maxima was fast and could do the same kind of passing but it wasn't as smooth. But then it had low profile tires which impacted the ride.
The gas mileage was in the 30-35 MPG range and the cost is another factor. In my Maxima I used to use Mid-Grade and from time to time filled with Premium. The performance didn't seem to suffer except at high speed. I traded my Maxima off with 107K miles, no oil consumption to speak of. No major part failures and the only reason I traded it off was that the shocks were starting to let go and it was time.
I am very pleased with this new addition, the new platform has noticeable differences from my wife's 2006 2.5 Special Edition. This car seems roomier but then I am biased.
The price was comparable with Toyota and Honda and the dealership I deal with has always given me great service.
All in all a very easy change.
Even if you didn't lose any gas mileage on regular what's the point in trying to save the cost of a cup of Starbuck's coffee every fill up on a 30K car? Makes no sense whatsoever.
I have issues with my keys. The buttons don't work, but they still let me in the doors and start the car. The second set of keys never worked. Then the first set stopped working after 6 weeks. So I took it into the dealer and they took 3 hours trying to make them work again. They got the first set to work, but not the second. Now, after 5 days, the first set stopped working again. I don't know how many times I will go back before I demand new keys. I've never dropped them or got them wet. Has anyone else had issues?
Nissan is working to correct that problem...
It was an unforseen problem, and to the best of my knowldge, only involves some cell phones. thats why there is no warning in the OM. It says something about keeping it off the tv and a few other places, but nothing i can remember about phones.
