Yeah a mustang is a better performer, but you'll see 5 on your way to work even around here. I'd rather have something a little more interesting/uncommon.
Nissan has definitely slacked on these in recent years. When they first came out they made more power than the comparable mustang GT, but now they're way behind. I definitely wouldn't buy one for anywhere close to the new price, but you can pick these up in the 10-15k range all day long.
Having said that a 2015+ mustang gt might be this car's replacement in a few years. I like them, I just wish they weren't EVERYWHERE. The last cars and coffee I went to in Hburg had 3 2015+ mustangs.
Yeah I mean all VQ motors are at risk for high consumption, but early ones are definitely worse.
And as far as avoiding meetoooooitis, I totally get it. Really. But on the flip side, you'd probably see a shitload more of them if, you know, they were better.
I blame 100% of this on Renault, by the way. It's not like the french have a huge sports car heritage to begin with (bugatti nonwithstanding) but 21st century Renault is even worse. The Nissan-Renault deal, maybe the worst deal in the history of deals, ever. I'd honestly rather have seen Nissan die than have the lifeless shell of a company I once adored, shambling about the landscape mumbling zut alors and wishing for the sweet embrace of the hereafter.
