Had it 20 years!

Next month, our Altima 4 cyl. Will be 20 years old. We bought it new. I never thought I would be able to keep a car this long. It is nowhere near worn out. Has 123,000+ miles, runs smoothly, gets 17 mpg in city driving, from 27-32 on highway, depending on the terrain. I have gotten 32 on level highway. No rust, paint looks good. Interior is in good shape. This has been an amazing car. And it’s not done yet.

Very reliable car.

This car met and exceeded all my needs. I owned this car for a little while it was a used vehicle. I was recently in an accident and this car saved my life! All the safety features are phenomenal. It rides comfortably and seats five to six people. The four-cylinder engine that was in this vehicle is definitely great on gas.

Best car I've owned

This is a fantastic running car. If you just keep servicing your Nissan when it is supposed to you will have a completely reliable good running vehicle. I own the 2004 Altima and couldn't be happier.
