I think you'll like it, once you get used to the lack of power , they really are built well and have good standard features, I've been pleased with ours so far.

Mine's not the hybrid. I'm not sure if you get them in the states but I have the DX-G model. It's the plain gas 1.8L engine, it has power everything just it has the same rims as the hybrid and it has black door handles and mirrors. And I've kind of gotten used to the slowness sort of, I don't drive as fast as I used to. I haven't reved this thing past 4000 yet and I've found it has enough to get me around. Only thing I don't like is that it has zero torque so you have to shift more often and keep the rpms up above 2000 if you want to accelerate at all. I was going to get either a 3.5 Altima 5 spd or 6 spd Maxima, you didn't even need to give it any gas to make it start moving with out the engine feeling like it's going to stall lol.
