Has been a reliable car.

I love this car. I bought it used, and have had it almost 5 years. It is comfortable and roomy inside, has good size storage in trunk. It gets great mileage, even in town, and has been very reliable.

One of my favorites

This car was extremely reliable, got me around for 4 years moving from Maryland, to Texas, to Kansas and never let me down. It had just enough power to be fun, but not enough to get in trouble which was perfect.

Very reliable car

I purchased my Altima Coupe 2008 over 10 years ago brand new. She now has over 370k km and is mostly used for long work commute. So far we had no major issues just regular maintenance such as brakes, tires, etc. She still maintained her good efficiency and good looks ;). Too bad they don't make them any more.

Great reliable car

This car met all my needs. For being a 4 cylinder it had a great engine and the CVT transmission was great especially if I needed to get in front of traffic, it provided alot of get up and go.

CVT Transmissions SUCK

What ever you do, dont buy a car with a first year CVT transmission, nothing but problems and having to replace the transmission. slow take off, revs up to 2 RPM as soon as you start the car and have to wait for it to drop back down to under 1 or else you think the car will blow! never will i buy nissan again!

Great on gas and plenty of power

The Nissan Altima in my opinion was one of the first stylish cars made and the rest followed. They are great on gas and have plenty of power. The car drives really comfortable and has the warm and cozy feel on long road trips.
