But all in all I didnt see anything wrong with the gests' post
what would be perfect for me is an 04 with an 07 engine.

I have an 07, and mines squeaks. 
I've had both, 04 and 07. Now, I wish I had kept my 04, only because it would have been paid off by now. I had no choice at the time, so traded it in for a truck. Now im better financially and went and got and 07. All the obvious upgrades are great on 07, but just not mod friendly.

Oh, your interior will start to squeak and feel cheap as time goes on.

So i'm not allowed not to be bored with the 04 engine pull, ohhh i hurt your feelings, and yes the center piece is really cheap compared to a 07. It is really is, its a fact im not calling you out, It's more of a thing towards nissan, Its not like you guys had choices and choose the 04 instead of the 07.

i chose the 04' instead of the 07'...i just baught the 04' 3 weeks ago.
i could have baught an 07' but i would owe like 20k on it instead of 10k. there wasnt much of a change..new wheels (stupid), new hood (changing anyway), a motor with new parts (could have re-calls in the future). 0 miles (i have 14,246 practically brand new motor wise) , ish interior.

Second thing interior... Man that center console storage compartment is designed so cheap, I moved it side to side it was loose and made riduclous sounds, I completely agree with Jermemy Clarksons review on it, all make sense now, Plus the side panels on the door, and that loose ashtray in the middle.
Thrid was the motor, it had no where near the pull of an 07, I mean I felt really bored redlining my gears compared to the 07.
Overal the difference is Huge, I mean really there is really big differance between the previous year.
I don't mean to bash down the 04, I'm just stating my opy, I'd say the same If i owned an 04 and test drove an 07

I love the center piece. I really do. And I love the ash tray position.
