Default Re: Roll call... how many Altima hybrid owners are here?

OK you have 3 now.

Bought a silver one with Tech Package on the 7th of this Month.
First tank was 580 miles for 17 galllons or about 34 mpg.
Dash showed 35.5. However, I do not know if tank was full at
dealer and when I bought the car it had 12 miles on it with 16 mpg.
I did not reset.

Like the car overall but the interior fit and finish needs to be
improved. Traded in an Acura TSX where everything fit like
a glove and felt very tight. The only reason was mpg and the
20 gallon tank. The TSX got 22.

Few sqeaks and rattles here and there which I could smother with
some felt. All electronics work fine. The stereo tweeter not as good
as the Acura.

All the information in the dash that we have to toggle through
should be combined in a single screen in the Navi. The TSX had
this.

Also the low fuel warning is too conservative in the dash. In turned
on when there was 4 gallons left and the car then had a range of
140 miles.

Reset mpg meter after fillup and after todays 10 mile commute to
work, it reads 40.6 .

I drive about 700 miles per month if there are no long drives. Hope
to do 1 tank per month in day to day driving.

Could not have done that on a Camry Hybrid.
