I have smoke with auto... anyone around Chicago needing a deal on one let me know!
I have a few on my lot.
I have put 538 miles on this bad boy in a week!!!! Fast....5500 rpm in the 5th is nice!
Don't buy a auto without TCS,
if you live by snow or rain!

I drove the Max, not impressed at all... drove this one and took it home the same day.
Got the Silver one & I love it!!! Black and Gray interior w/ TCS and haven’t seen another one on the road. I'm from the old school when all factory accessories were the way to go, so no plans for mods. I don’t think the car needs them, really. As far as the rims are concerned… love them, would not trade them for the world, but I might get another set for the winter. I personally like the gray w/ the silver paint and the matching light bezels complement the colors. Considering Black Pearl Badges and tint… OK those would be the only mods!!!

I just got that same car on a 24 month lease
24 hours later I am wondering if I could get out of the lease since something is just not right with the heater/defogger. ;((

Why do the windows fog up when you turn on the heat and then when you switch the knob to 'Defoger mode' the A/C light comes on. ??
The windows never seem to defog totally.

Any insight would be appreciated.

TIA

The A/C helps to defrost your windows by pulling the mositure out of the air. Leave the A/C on when defrosting and your windows should clear right up.

The A/C will be on antytime the defogger is on so don't sweat
it all the late motal cars are like that. Turn the REC. off if it's on. Good luck. Is yours red?

Walter, I have done just that.
In fact the A/C kicks in on default as soon as you switch the knob to that 'Defogger mode'.
What irritates me is that as soon as it clears out and you turn the A/C off it starts fogging up again..urggg
Oh well, I am relieved to know it's not some sort of defect..LOL

I got the SE-R in SILVER not red..hahaha

I got it on a lease since I wasn't sure what to get after driving a Stealth TT for ten years now and loving that car to pieces.
At least now I have 24 months to drive the SE-R and think of what car to buy next since I can't think of a new performance car that has room for a big dog in the back and is within my budget. ;(

In fact, after renting an SUV (Trail Blazer to be exact) and 'white knuckling' the entire drive I knew I could never drive one of those unforgiving tanks around (Dog loves 'em though).
So much so that it has become quite the mystery why the average American enjoys driving those things. Very little room for error especially on turns.
It's either that or I must be the worse driver..
Yikes..I had some moments when I came this close to hugging a tree.
Never again!

Sooo, I needed to start thinking with my head not with my heart and decided to get a sedan that has some life in it, or better yet anything but a Camry..
I test drove the SE-R and the Maxima (Dissapointingly I let my B/F talk me into an automatic while my heart was on that black 6 speed)
I love the fierce acceleration and handling.
Though I gotta admit that coming from an AWD/AWS it takes some getting used to the Torque steering on turns.
Oh, lastly that 8 speeker Bose is mind-blowing.

Ok, ok, I have gushed enough for one afternoon.

Thanks again Walter.

Stay tuned for pics. ;-))

Arizona SE-R

i bought my se-r 2 weeks ago. we went to buy a 2.5 model. the salesman asked me if i would like to test drive the se-r model. i drove it and fell in love with it. how many altimas se-r's were their made for 2005? anybody know? by the way i bought a black one.

Smokin' SE-R

I got a Smoke 6 spd back in NOV.

I originally got an auto, but called dealer back when I got home and told him to find me a 6sp. They agreed and I got it on Monday. The car is very fun, BUT it is now in the shop it had to be towed from my house. I went to Cleveland Friday night 'bout 60 miles from home. There are a couple of fun curvey roads I was racing around on, when coming to an end, my brake pedal went mush. I had to down shift and e-brake to stop. This car has 250 miles on it. Dealer says he can't replicate the problem and the guy who took it off the flatbed says when it sat idling pedal would go to the floor???? If they can't find the problem, what do I do? I am afraid to push it. What if it happens again. I crash.

Anyway it is smoke 6 sp w/no brakes.

I love the car though.

trade it in for another...

Lots of luck and keep us posted.

Annette

Oh, forgot to respond to the question before about other cars for consideration.
If I had to do it over again I would consider getting the Infinity G35!
If I am not mistaken it has the AWD option.

Teh00Alty

the problem is that the AWD is only avalilable in auto

(post those pics!)

I've been preaching that since I heard how much the SE-R was going to be before it hit the market.

Does the pedal stay on the floor or can you pump it? Pumping the pedal might build up enough pressure to stop.

I would insist that the whole brake system is checked, Master cylinder, lines, brake booster, calipers. If they haven't found the problem it doesnt mean its fixed (obviously).
