I am not opposed to green, but this one was my joint 3rd choice with Carb Grey, because it sits midway between the light mint/mist greens that I like and the dark greens similar to what's on some Jaguars etc.
There was a time or two some years back, when I was topping up the "bad" beater from the walmart synth drained from the "good" beater when it had sat a spell and the solids settled.
Seems like you can get new stems/seals for the sensors, which would make me think I'd wanna slice the stems off, pull out, cut and pull the old rubber out with needlenose or something, install new stems to assembly... seeming that would be least risk of TPMS sensor damage. Of course have the new...
Not many miles on mine yet, but it's showing me numbers that were difficult to get out of my 2015 Versa Note. So definitely not looking like a huge mpg blunder to get the AWD. They seem to have got the gearing spot on to minimise impact, but IDK if we suffer more over 70mph.

Getting into the wheel and tire stuff as we come up to winter season here. It's gonna be reallllll confusing when XL tires and XL model tires are in the mix.

Update: Got the Mav mid August, 2025 Lariat Hybrid AWD 4K tow + trifold tonneau, it's a beut. Latest mad idea inspired by Princess Auto... ATV plow blade... mounted to flat towing baseplate... but also need a winch... hmmm, bit like a $1500 project. I know it's not full scale plowtruck capable...
Cool, if you ever see a middle aged guy in a Velocity blue 25 Lariat waving frantically at you, pull over and give me directions back to Ontario, because I'm REALLY lost.
