There is a delay in the acceleration. The engine is too small for the size of the car in my opinion. So lets say you are in a parking lot and you are turning onto a small hwy. There is plenty of space for a normal v6 or even a turbo v4 or v8 to go and not have to worry about the guy coming up hitting you. You go to step on the pedal and there is a slight delay on acceleration and then it goes. That delay allows the vehicle to get really close and either have to brake or honk at you because your not accelerating up to the proper speed fast enough, which means that you have to wait until it is perfectly clear if you don't want to risk causing an accident. But if you wait until its perfectly clear you have people behind you who are honking at you because your taking the gap that they could have made.
SUGGESTION OR PROBLEM SOLVED: I would recommend doing what other car companies are doing where they put a turbo 4 cylinder engine in it so it has some power or just get a vehicle that has a v6 and it wont be an issue. I personally feel that the engine is too small for the size and weight of the vehicle.
So NISSAN please beef it up or don't bother with it because the gas mileage isn't that great and you can go get a v6 Camry or v6 Sentra and get the same fuel mileage. If I had known this information I probably wouldn't have bought it. I only bought it for the price nothing else.
