I didnt like the shortness of it either but feathering the clutch works fine for me. Its a short gear with a quick wind up to a slow speed what do you expect. and Third in Nissans is Def the TORQUE. I drove my freinds 07 TL-S yesterday it is not a bad car at all its pretty quick and their problem is second gear lol rather a bad first than a bad second
I like first for going down the spiral drive at my works parking garage, otherwise it is a little short. I often start in second if there is any kind of decline from a stop.

Yep I usually start in second if I am on a decline or rolling through a stop/turn. Like everyone else said 1st gear is kinda short, then there is that rough shift into 2nd to deal with. I really enjoy 2nd gear on this car, but 3rd is probably favorite. Starting out in second is ok if I engage the clutch properly, but then you deal with the car just kind of bogging until 2.5k RPM or so (keep in mind I have the rev-up engine to my low end probably isn't as good).
