Great !

It would be interesting if you can post a list of all the repair that had been done to your car beside usual wear and tear.

Wow, that's a lot of miles for only using 1/8th of a tank. :o) (what's your secret?)

HA! I just picked up a 2013 SV w/ Sport Package. I went thru 1/8th tank in 25 miles!

Came from a 2007 Mazda6 5-sp. I kinda miss the MT.

Depending what level the gauge is at I notice that it drops very quickly at certain points. Mine takes forever to get down to half tank then a little slower to 3/8 then it just drops fast from there. Very unpredictable if one didn't know the car well and was out west on a long open road with no service plazas. Or NJ or NY with the traffic.
By no means do I discount that it can use 1/8 tank in 25 miles. Just saying about the gauge too. The car gets **** for mileage. If I drive in a straight line it refuses to hold and rpm even though I'm not accelerating turning or going up a grade. Poor transmission at best.

All highway mileage and driving with my fingers (no brake, cruise control to slow and speed up) I have found AC usage is approx 5mpg penalty but one I gladly pay in the summer in central Florida! 580 miles tankful in winter, 460 in summer!!

Ahhh, central FL. No hills and no traffic (I'm assuming). Drive that thing in New England. Good luck with the traffic and elevation changes. Congrats on the 333,333 BTW. I hope mine lasts that long.

It was my first full day driving it and I definitely had the giggles. I couldn't help not driving rather hard.

The CVT takes some getting used to for sure. Luckily, my wife had an '09 Altima and now a '15 Pathfinder, both with CVTs so I'm fairly used to how they behave. I don't particularly care for it either so I usually stay in manual mode and use the paddle shifters to simulate the MT. It's not the same, but I really wanted a newer car and once I drove this thing, I had to have it. The wife can't drive MT, so the Maxima is a fairly good compromise IMO.
