Got a gold SL - FWD with leather and premium package. It did include the heated seats/mirrors that were not on the sticker. Paid $1000 under sticker.
So far , love the car. Solid build quality. Tons of room. That was the factor for me to get it. I am 6'4" tall and dont fit in most cars and suv's. The MDX doesnt work for me cause my legs hit the steering wheel. It doesnt telescope. The Murano doesnt either, but for some reason there is much more clearance for me and its a great fit.
Anyway... two observations:
When you take your foot off the gas, the car seems to "brake" by itself. You feel a deceleration. I checked the parking brake and it is off. I dont know if this is something the CVT tranny does or if i have a problem.
Also, my city gas mileage is only 13mpg. Way below the estimate. My sense is this "drag" issue is the culprit. Just freeway mileage was 25mpg as advertised, so ...
Bad news is that the mechanics dont know much about these cars (or I should say transmissions yet) so it will be interesting to sort this out.
Let me know if anyone else has experienced this one. Other than that , this car is great at 4 days and counting. Already had two strangers ask about it after parking it.
