Very good car

Very spacious and fun to drive. I had a manual and I put a couple after market mods on it and it was very fast.

Great car!

I would love to get this car but can't afford to purchase it. I test drove this car yesterday and it was a fantastic experience.

Impressive

I was extremely skeptical when I went to look at this car. I've owned a couple of nissans previously, but never an Altima & never a v6. I had read reviews of the vehicle having an unreliable transmission, but to this day, two years later I haven't had to do any maintenance other then brakes and oil. I put a tremendous amount of strain on anything I own because of the excessive traveling I do, and I have quite a heavy foot and this car definitely puts up with anything I've thrown at it.

Great car, fully equipped

This is a great car but unfortunately, it is a 2 door coupe and my wife thinks having it is stupid because we really can't do much together in it except drive. We always end up taking her car when we go shopping or go out with other people so I decided, get a 4 doir, happy wife, happy life !

Great car. Keep up with the maintenance.

Great commuter car. Do not abuse the 4 cylinder model. Take care of it and it will take care of you.

A very sturdy and solid drive

The car - for its price point - is exactly what you'd want / need. A sturdy and reliable vehicle that was built well and can consistently and comfortably get you from point A to point B on normal basis.
