Descent car for the money

Descent car. Needs more leg room in the back seat for old kids/adults. SITS TOO LOW TO THE GROUND! I scrub every speed bump and hole in my path! Needs another area in the console area for things like keys/cellphone. Drives great. Very smooth. Tight steering.

Stylish , affordable and dependable

The Nissan Altima Its sleek and stylish while still comfortable with safety. After test driving the Altima and several others, the Nissan Altima was by far the best value for my money. It is solidly built, quiet, and smooth. The ride is like a Lexus and it handles almost like a sedan. It's just the right size, has very comfortable seats and is loaded with technology! On my first 500+ mile trip, I averaged 28.8 mpg. If you're looking for a new crossover in this segment, put this one on your short list to test drive.

The first car I?ve drove that was that reliable!!

This car drives like a dream and has everything you need and never has to go to the shop. It has the pep of a sports car but has the comfort and technology of a luxury car. I absolutely would recommend this car if you want something reliable, low maintenance, comfort, space, great gas mileage, safety and security and all the other great thing you look for in a car. Top notch car by far.

Worth every penny I paid for it, and then some!

The best value for the dollar, this car stood up to my 30 mile commute back and forth to work every day. Before that, it was my daughters 1st car. It was worth every dollar Imspent on it!

Very cool car

It was a very good first car. The gas was reasonable and I had no troubles. I had the car for about a year and it drove pretty well

Was very reliable and fun.

I never had any real mechanical issues with it, at almost 100,000 miles it was still running strong. Only down side to the standard Altimas is there is almost no aftermarket things you can do to the engine.

Best car I've owned

This car was fantastic, exceeded my expectations for reliability and performance. The 3.5 L engine had some decent power, and a lot of torque in particular, giving it some good oomph of the line. And what a workhorse! Best car for the money. Looking to upgrade to a new one.
