"I found an '06 Altima SE-R with 12,345 miles and couldn't pass it up. Mine is the six speed manual and it is the easiest manual you'll ever drive. Very smooth gearbox that lets you shift effortlessly between the gears. The engine setup is also nice in that it is not picky about what gear you are in. Even takes off in second. Very classy yet sporty interior. Sport seats are not only nice looking but also functional and comfortable. Also comes with heated seats. Only thing this car is missing is a rear view camera. The exhaust y-pipe design is less than perfect, but I plan to install an aftermarket one to help exhaust flow. I really like the body styling on the SE-R. The fascia and the big dual exhaust pipes really add a nice touch. Suspension is sport tuned, yet doesn't bounce you around. Very comfortable ride with good feedback from the steering. With the 3.5L V6 there is a good balance of power and gas mileage. From the positive reliability history the Altima's have, I hope to get many years of fun out of my new SE-R."

"I bought this car new in Feb. 06. I was never sorry I bought it. It proved to be a reliable, comfortable car. For the money, it was a very great value. I had planned to drive it for about 10 years more, but was hit at an intersection by an elderly man who'd had one too many. I had 66K miles on it and it was in great shape. Had it not been for the tipsy elderly man, I'd be driving it for some time. I had zero complaints about this car. My past cars have been Toyota Celica, Honda Accord."

"The very first time I pressed the gas I knew there was something about this car. It was to fast for a regular sedan and it reminded me for my 240SX I owned years ago. I did a little research and guess what ..... same crazy, fast engine!! 240SX had the 2.4, the 2006 Altima has the 2.5, wow!! This car is just plain fun to drive!!!"

"I went to test drive this car, and loved how smooth it drove. I was very pleased with the price and the condition of the car; however, I was trying to decide between this car and a 2006 Mazda for my daughter's 16th birthday, and I decided to go with the Mazda because it was a 6 cylinder instead of a 4. After getting the Mazda, I realized that I had made the wrong choice, because my insurance became higher, and the 4 cylinder on the Nissan was almost as fast as the 6 on the Mazda. I spoke with the gentleman who owns the Nissan about his daughter who drove the car most of the time, and thought that it would be a very reliable first car for my daughter. Unfortunately, I picked a car that will cost more to maintain and cost more to fuel. I should have considered these things before I passed up a such a great car. I would recommend this 2006 Nissan Altima to anyone who values a comfortable, reliable, and affordable vehicle."

"My 2001 Altima was involved in a hit & run accident which resulted in a total loss. It had been the most reliable and overall best vehicle I have owned in over 40 years of driving. Naturally, I replaced it with a newer model Altima. I purchased a 2006 Altima with 85,000 miles on the 25th of April 2012. It's an SL model which features a moon roof, Bose 6 disc CD and leather seats. It is also loaded with many other comfort & safety features which led me to this purchase. It has 4 wheel disc brakes, and the 2.5 litre engine is the perfect balance of performance and economy. It is the Pearl Satin paint, which is quite nice looking. I am looking forward to enjoying many years and miles in this Altima, and I would recommend this model to anyone who is in the market for a great, reliable, comfortable mid-sized sedan."

"Bought this car to replace an 06 2.5S that I adored. I thought the 3.5 would exceed my expecations with the exception of gas mileage. Boy was I ever wrong! This one was very sporty and looked great, however the problems are too much to handle. First off, gas mileage, I know its a V6 but 22 hwy is awful with 13 around town without jack-rabbit starts? That is pathetic. The doors lock themselve while the car is running! I walked away from the car for a minute with it running the came back to get in and it locked all 4 doors at the same time!!! Also the car has terrible road noise and weird rattles. The engine squeaks terribly too. It also tends to start smelling very hot as if about to catch on fire. Also the car will take off and just start accelerating on its own which I find VERY alarming. It did it on the interstate, it went from 70 up to 80 mph all on its own on a flat stretch of road. Owned less than a year and already looking to trade it in ASAP. I loved my first altima but absolutely cannot wait to get rid of this one! Looks great but is an absolute NIGHTMARE!! BUYERS BEWARE!!!"
