Replying to: bogdan (Mar 21, 2007 7:28 pm)  Also the AC uses the engine in the 2.5S and an electric motor off the "traction battery" in the hybrid (same reason as above). I just checked online here in Edmonton Alta Canada, and two dealers have one hybrid each. Black with black int. and cloth seats. Will have to go and check them out. I think if I got one it would be the ivory int. Don't like black int. - they get way too hot in the sun. |

Anybody bought this car recently in the Bay Area/Northern CA area? I am in the market for one with the Tech package. The cars are in extremely short supply and the dealers are asking for 1K-2K markup over MSRP. Carsdirect is quoting 30914 which is about 1400 off MSRP. What is the real deal out there?

my car finally came in today, i'm going to pick it up tomorrow. The tech package cars are really rare, the sales manager told me yesterday that nissan cancelled the orders of altima's with tech packages because of a shortage of navi units. i know the dealer i'm dealing with also has a green NAH with tech package. ordering a car would take 6-8 weeks assuming there isn't a shortage in navi units. you can do your own search but i really doubt you will be able to find the exact car you want. but the target MSRP price you want is 32,365 or 32,625. so just look for that

Replying to: langjie (Apr 06, 2007 7:39 am) 80 miles to get there). Tech package + floor mats for 300 over invoice. Could get no deal or preferred color in the Bay area. I am overall happy with the car but made the switch from an Acura TSX - obviously a different kind of car, more nimble and compact. Also interior was plusher. So some adjustments for me. I could not find a way to display mpg, range etc in the Navi. Anybody know how to do this? The dashboard info toggles between mpg meter, mpg, temp, range etc. Isnt there a way to get all of these on single screen in the navi?

Replying to: lightshybrid (Apr 09, 2007 3:58 am) Phonebook part I did not checek but I was able to send and receive calls by using the Navi touchpad. It can sync up with multiple phones and store each ones settings in the memory. So 2 phones should work. Do not know what will happen if one is in use and a call comes to the other. In Bay area temperatures are usually mild. So in the morning the EV mode comes on within 1-2 minutes of driving. |

A reporter with a large local newspaper is hoping to talk to consumers in California who purchased a hybrid vehicle this year. If you are interested in speaking to the reporter, please reply to ctalati edmunds.com no later than Thursday, April 12, 2007 with your daytime contact info. and what car you purchased.

Replying to: langjie (Mar 22, 2007 1:23 pm) It drives quite well and I’m getting about 35 MPG in mostly highway driving. Since the northeast has been hit with unusually cold weather recently (30s), in the morning it takes about 10 minutes to warm up enough to cruise in EV mode exclusively, but that’s not so bad. The first day I drove to work I had the pleasure of getting stuck in a massive traffic jam for over an hour. I was running off battery most of that time, so much so that twice the engine had to kick in to recharge it, since it didn’t really have the opportunity to fully charge yet. Overall, I’m pretty happy. Does anyone have any suggestions on breaking in the engine aside from the recommendations in the manual? In general, I’ve heard that you should try to avoid keeping a constant speed all the time, so I have yet to put it on cruise control. I also try to vary my speed as much as possible on a highway.

Replying to: bogdan (Apr 10, 2007 6:50 am) I would just say that you can drive the car pretty normally during break-in. i just wouldn't stomp on the gas. I've been up to 75 (albeit really slowly)
