No, the law is that they must have a tire pressure monitoring system that warn when the pressure drops more than 25% below the recommended pressure. No requirements that any actual pressures be displayed.

I don't know if the 03' has this, but my 07' has a niffty add-on i discovered recently. The fuel cap can be hung on the fuel filler door, instead of hanging all over the car. Check it out!

I went back to the dealer, and got my 03 Performance back, after putting 120 miles on the base. and I got my wife a Versa....

Im really happy that I could get my 03 back, I like it ALOT more, it feels alot more like a sports car, the HR is amazing, it sounds beautiful and its really smooth, but I like me 03 better.... the sales man said he would keep in touch when he gets an Enthusiast.

I plan on gettin the 07 base. I know I can get a better LSD sooo much cheaper then it would cost in long run for the lsd in stock.. Plus I'm not a fan of audio controls on the steering wheel. Makes it look bulky imo..

Just make sure not to drive the car when it snows there cuz it doesn't have Traction Control

The car is not drivable in the snow. It will not move. Not without winter tires. Anyway it is way worth the extra cash for the higher level car with VDC and LSD.

I'm not quite sure why your 03 feels more like a sports car...

Yes LSD is nice, but it doenst make it any less sporty.
