Had a rental 2021 Altima. Not a huge Nissan fan but their latest offerings seem to be a lot better than the past. The only thing I really didn't like about it was how low it seemed to sit. I parked behind a Sentra and it looked way higher than the Altima! Luckily I looked down while I was at a red light or I would have looked like a fool trying to find the fuel release door at the gas station.

I'd be opening the gas door every time I try to open the hood. That's where the hood release is on my Camry.
 
That fuel door is usually where the parking brake release is :sneaky:

The late 90s I30 (4th gen Maxima) actually had a fuel release switch on the dash. It's a rocker switch :alien:

Nissan has been building cars specifically for fleets for years now (30k expected lifespan).

They just gave up a while back. Some of their new offerings have standard auto transmissions but oh my god they decided on the ZF9 for the pathfinder??!? WHY?!?!? It’s like they don’t actually think their vehicles need functional transmissions.
