"First of all, I never leave reviews. I was listening to some people at work complain about their cars. Then realized how dependable my car has actually been. I bought it brand new in 2005. It had 118 miles on it when I purchased it. In 2013, I still drive it daily. It has 153,000 miles on it. The only thing that I have replaced is the battery, tires, and brakes. I wouldn't think twice about driving it across the country tomorrow. Prior to this purchase, I only purchased Fords and Chevy vehicles. I went out on a limb with this car. It did not let me down. I can tell you that all my previous vehicles and my current Tahoe has petty things that fall off in the vehicle or there are window problems (i.e. motor going out on power windows). I have never had any of those problems. You can tell that the interior has "quality" and "durable" gadgets. I won't hesitate in buying another Nissan. I will drive this one until it decides to give me trouble. Until then, it is an awesome car with no payments!"

"Was able to call the place and finally get someone to answer and found out the full price is 1200 to take the car off the lot plus high payments incase anyone has been trying to reach these people."

"I absolutely love this car. I just got it almost a week ago. I bought it used but I wouldn't trade it for anything. It has a smooth ride, the gas is great, and the music system sounds great as well. I've always wanted this car since that style came out. I'm happy to know that it didn't disappoint me."

"Great car overall!!!I will say that the suspension is a little tight and you can feel some bumps in the road but not much. The Nissan Altima doesn't ride as smooth as a Toyota Camry but it's very close. I am a very picky person when it comes to cars, but I love it !!! Sorry for the grammatical errors."

"Always used to buy American, however I am now a forever Nissan Altima fan - the telescopic steering wheel can not be beat to assist in driving comfortably. It enables a woman to pisition her seat so that her legs are comfortable and yet bring the wheel close enough to keep her her back in great posture and arms comfortable. The car gets great gas mileage 27-33 2.5 SL CVT. It has great visibility and trunk and storage space."

"I bought a 2005 Altima 2.5 SL used and I have yet to have any issues. I love this car and its sporty look, I put 18 inch rims on it and it looks great. I love the wood trim interior and the Boss system sounds awesome. The trunk is big. I put a box with 12 inch subs and still have room to put in groceries and a baby seat. I wish I got a few more miles per gallon but I wouldnt trade it for any other competitor"

"I bought this car w/ 117K on it. It ran like new then and still does now w/ 135K. Took it to Florida once and Maryland several times. Cruises smooth and quiet. I have the V6 and 5spd manual and this thing has some major get up and go. Very surprising! I have done a few minor repairs, but that's expected with the miles on it. Replaced a rear wheel bearing, seat belt buckle, fuel door, sway bar links and had the A/C charged. Interior is very nice and massive. Feels like a fullsize car. When I bought it, I could tell it was rarely washed or waxed in it's life but the body was in great shape w/ only a few small spots of rust here and there (I live in the salt bath of NY). I get around 29-30mpg on the hwy and 26mpg average. I think everyone who wants a reliable sedan should have one of these!"

"Bought the 6 cyl. This car takes off! Never replaced anything on it but a fuse and I have 130,000 mi. on it. Love my car so much I'll drive it till it blows. So inpressed that I can't see myself driving any other make of vehicle again. Love the chrome touches on the interior. It's a sharp car. Compliments stating that it looks "like a luxury car". Performance is outstanding! Takes corners like a pro. Does well in snow. Awesome, reliable & dependable!"
