"I bought my Nissan In October 2010 with less than 10,000 miles. After 3 months, and 12,000 miles, I am very happy with my purchase. The car is smooth and fast. Love the leather interior and the alloys, ans the exterior is great!. I would recommend this car to anyone."

"My '09 Nissan Altima 2.5 S wouldn't start for me at Petco. The problem was a fried Body control module. I only had 40,100 miles on it and it was just out of warrenty. Beware this is a costly repair and you might just get stranded somewhere some day. I ignored the intelligent key warning light, but I doubt taking it in before it wouldn't start would have saved me from having a dealer replace the body control module anyway."

"I purchased an Altima, and it is a nearly perfect vehicle. Very comfortable, and good looking interior. Liked it so much, I went back to where I bought it, and purchased a 2009 Rogue as well! Hooray for Nissan!!"

"I recently traded in a 2009 Honda Accord that I was not happy with. I started having brake problems at only 10k miles. The performance in the Accord was not to my liking. I ended up getting a 09 2.5s with 20k miles that is an excellent condition. The powertrain on the Altima is silky smooth with the CVT transmission. The acceleration and handling are better than the Accord. The Altima also has a nice sporty look and overall I am happy with the purchase. The gas mileage also appears to be on par with the Accord. I plan to keep the Altima for a very long time."

"When I purchased my 2009 Nissan Altima SL, I was really really happy. Before this car, I had a Ford Mustang Convertible( which I loved as well).. But I was looking for better gas mileage and more room for things.. I ¿ that I now have 4 doors.. BIG trunk space.. I have a moonroof- which I strongly recommend- especially if you are going from a convertible like I did. Overall the Nissan Altima is super! Great everything! I also love the style of both the interior and exterior. Great handling. I also ¿ the heated seats!! Nissan Altima ROCKS!"

"This is my 1st new Nissan and it won't be my last. I now have 76,000 trouble free miles on this car and so far it has been more reliable that all 3 of my Honda's I've owned prior! I have nothing bad to say about this car. Nothing. I would recommend a new or used Altima to anyone looking for a good safe reliable car."

"Great car, has some "get n go" to it although its not horribly fast off the line it picks up once you gain just a little bit of speed. Really fun to drive, good sounding and feels good. Although if you get the HID Xenon lights, they are amazing but make sure you do not break them. As I have done, being a college student spending allot of money on one headlight without installation is pretty steep. But none the less, I would highly recommend this car."

"I had a Scion TC before this car, and wanted something that was four doors. I have been watching the Altimas since the 2003ish generation style, and always thought they were so eye catching and pretty. Then when the newest style came out I was sold...I had to have one. It has a really quiet ride and I love the fact that finally I have a six speed automatic and my engine doesn't rev at 4000 rpms while just doing 75 on the highway...the scion did...it was horrible gas mileage and noisy. It is a beautiful car, plenty of power and gas mileage, very comfortable and I cannot really think of one downfall...I love my Altima."

"I am extremely happy with my decision to purchase an Altima Coupe. This car looks good and is extremely comfortable to ride in. I also have a good sized backseat for a coupe and nice sized trunk!"
