Interior is nice, but all 2015+ cars have nice interiors now. So very disappointed they put another CVT in it as the only drivetrain option. Nissan isn't getting it.

I agree with you. I wanted to like it, but in the end, the CVT killed it for me.

Is that the one with 400hp? If so is it your standard 6 AT or did that go with s dual clutch ? I test drove the Q50S RWD a few months ago and it was a blast but not with the money for me for a few more hp and two touch screens but with 400hp that sounds enticing.
