Had a Town Car a year ago......At least the gauges are nice The mirror control was pretty nice too. The rest of the car is what it is.......basically just a funeral rental.

Drove a Nissan Altima hybrid last week. It was fine except for a couple of things:

- I don't like cars with a CVT.

- The car was surging a bit while driving at steady freeway speeds. No big deal, but it was annoying.

Otherwise it was just about as exciting as any other rental I usually get.

What's wrong with that mirror control? Turn the knob to which side you want then adjust. Center is the all off.

CVT FTL. We have an Altima V6 w/6-spd manual and it's fun as balls to drive.

Agreed. I hate the stupid things in cars. If I want CVT I'll ride the snowmobile.

Don't be: I kick the shut out of it because it's easily replaceable and it keeps coming back for more. It's a pretty solid and reliable car.
