New 2020 Altima

So far so good. Smooth ride. Lots of Pep. Classy looking. Nice interior. Quiet as well. Plenty of trunk space and legroom. Bigger overall than our 2016 Altima

2020 Nissan Altima Lease

We love our 2020 Nissan Altima. Smooth ride and fun to drive. On top of everything, we got a very good deal at John Lee Nissan at Panama City.

My 4th Altima

It’s a great car. It’s a smooth ride and gets great gas mileage. This 2020 comes with driver assist which is fantastic. This is my forth Altima for a reason.

Great Car! I love it!

Really enjoy driving this car. Very comfortable, good amenities and looks great. Early to say on reliability but I’m sure it will be very reliable as expected by a Nissan.

Looks like it will be a good purchase

This car has the features that I wanted in a new car. The ALTAMA so far has met all my needs. It appears to be as good as several cars that I have owned that cost a lot more.

A good car, but....

I rented a base model for several days after a long flight, I really like the new body style. The ride is nice and soft like a larger car without being too floaty, and the standard touch screen is nice and big, placement of the screen makes it easy for both the driver and passenger to use. Both Android auto and Apple Car Play worked great, and it was easy to pair the 2 phones. One big surprise was the mpgs in mixed suburban driving with a long freeway trip, I got 37mpgs over the coarse of 515 miles (that's how long a full tank of gas lasted), during the summer. This is the first petrol vehicle I drove that can travel over 500 miles on a single tank of gas. Now for the bad: the bottoms of the seat cushions are too short, and become uncomfortable for people with long legs (lack of thigh support) after a hour. If Nissan made the seat cushions several inches longer it could be very comfortable on long trips. My biggest gripe is how Nissan programmed the CVT to "simulate" shifts of a conventional automatic, moderate to heavy acceleration makes it jerky. I found myself trying to "feather" the gas pedal to make it smoother (it's smooth under very light acceleration). I wish that Nissan could give the CVT a "sport" setting if a driver wants "simulated" shifts, as I prefer the smoothness of a CVT without the"fake" shifts. These two drawbacks would prevent me from buying one. Hopefully Nissan reads these reviews, and can improve upon what would otherwise be a great car.
