We have owned the car for five months now and are pleased with the vehicle.

The performance is excellent. It will run up to 128 miles per hour with little effort. I have driven the car many miles and find that it likes to run about 90 miles per hour.

The car's fuel mileage is also very good. At ninety miles per hour, the car gets 30 miles per gallon. On a recent trip we were able to get 38.5 miles per gallon out of the car. I have owned a LeMans in the past, and the best fuel mileage was 39 miles per gallon (with my wife driving). In town, the Nubira mileage is about 24 miles per gallon. Overall the fuel mileage has been consistently higher than the suggested fuel consumption.

The interior is nice enough, but, the seats are not very comfortable. My teenage daughter states that the back seats are also firm.

The only problem thus far with my Nubira CDX Wagon has been the indicator light for the airbag, which comes on and stays on for some inexplicable reason at random intervals. The problem was purportedly fixed during a routine service appointment, but it has since begun to occur again.

During my last visit to the dealership where I bought the car, the light was not on and the service manager said that the mechanic could not find the source of the problem. Though hardly a serious issue, the indicator light is in my line of sight and one of those glitches in a new car that is both annoying and a sign of technical problems.

General Comments:

As with others who have written reviews here, I have found the gas mileage to be less than what was advertised. As my last car was a 1997 Ford Escort sedan, I have definitely noticed the increasing cost of driving my Nubira Wagon.

The cargo capacity is terrific.

The sound system works well.

The plastic bar that houses the cover for the cargo area is a bit awkward to remove if one is opting for maximum capacity by putting the seats down and removing this bar.

Because I am tall, I appreciate the headroom in Nubira -- a feature lacking in just about every other economy wagon.

Faults:

Nothing.

The dealer service is great!

The car is comfortable, but the steering wheel needs to be moved forward a few inches and the cup holders are useless and get in the way.

The radio has excellent sound quality.

The fit and finish of all materials is of what you would expect to find in higher priced vehicles.

The powertrain is smooth, but the motor is loaded at higher revs.

The car came with Power Windows/Locks/Mirrors, Heated Mirrors, Tilt Wheel, Rear Defrost, Split folding back seat, Fog Lights, Keyless entry w/alarm, Adjustable Front/Rear head rests, Adjustable Drivers Seat and an Automatic Transmission with a Tach, and a Sport mode. I paid just under $13,000 for the car!!

Faults:

Nothing.

It is a pleasure to drive and the ergonomics are well designed. I have taken extended trips in very fine comfort.

Everyone who looks at it says it has a pleasing Euro look on the order of a BMW.

The Australian built engine is responsive and the auto gear shift has a boost button that really adds punch to acceleration when needed. I could go on, but all in all my Nubira makes driving fun.

My CDX is loaded with luxury features. The price is real value. The trunk is huge for its class. My son who is an engineer likes it more than his 2001 Firebird. Bottom line.
