It feels like a smoother ride- but that may also be because I was driving a Nissan Sentra rental and hated being so low to the ground.

The dash info is now all digital screen rather than the normal speedometer etc. Much better infotainment screen and no awkward and useless cubby.

The seats also seem a little comfier? But maybe my 2022 ones were just well worn in.

But to me it feels more well thought out, a little sturdier and smoother. I'm interested to see how the gas mileage compares. But I live in Texas and its very hot so not an ideal temp to test it out.
Glad you made it out ok. But I second that remark about how much the Sentra sucked. I traded in my 2022 Sentra for the Maverick, and it really is just a better ride quality. I don't think I could ever go back to driving a sedan like that again. R.I.P. Alto Blue though, wish they kept it around for the later years.

Not surprised really, we heard of a lot of comments like this when people upgraded from 22's to 25's. The first 2-3 years of a new model is always a bit hit and miss, and given that 21-22 was the first year, that's even more so. Still I wouldn't want to trade my 22 for a new one, unless like you mine was totalled. Too many features that I like gone, like physical HVAC controls, smaller audio screen, analog gauges, heated wiper park, colour matched side mirrors and more.
Could not agree more.
