2009 Nissan Altima consumer reviews

The car has done well, but had several recalls during the course of ownership that I had to have fixed. One was the transmission and then the entire exhaust system had to be replaced. Overall I've enjoyed the car and it did really well with performance tires.

Very reliable and affordable car that I bought from All Star Auto in Merriam, KS. Runs well and gets me from A to B!

I have had this car for about 3 years now and until recently it has been great. Just look up electronic steering lock failure in this model year and you will see the onslaught of complaints against nissan about not covering or extending a recall or even warrenty on this issue. Great car, its nice and fun to drive for the money but for the love of god pull the fuse to the electronic steering lock before you have the same problem i did.

Since my 2006 Ford F500 AWD was rear ended and totaled which had only 28,058 miles, started looking for a used car which had close to the mileage I had on my F500. I felt a lot safer driving my F500 than I do this Altima. It does not feel as heavy and it is lower to the ground which I do not like! It has too many bells & whistles that I can't seem to figure out and most of those extras I really don't need. It is front wheel drive I really rather have AWD. It has no back and side sensor to warn me if I have something behind me when I back up, I had it on my F500 and I miss that a lot. Am I thrilled with it, the answer is NO.

The showroom was very busy and I was still welcomed in a friendly, comfortable manner. I did not feel rushed or pressured, just well taken care of. My salesperson, Len, was very professional and friendly, with a good sense of humor, which made me feel much less nervous than when I first walked in. He listened to my situation and was very encouraging that together WE would be able to find the car for me. His patience with my sometimes unrealistic ideas of what I wanted and what I could afford was helpful as he "steered" me in the direction of what car would be the most reasonable according to my needs and budget. The test drive really convinced me that I had chosen the right car; reliable, spacious, easy to handle, economical and nice looking. The business office personnel, Sean, was professional, efficient, timely and very patient in explaining everything thoroughly, considering this was the first time I was on my own as a single Mom and buying a car. A wonderful experience! I have recommended Nissan many times since to those who enthusiastically remark, "what a great car; tell me about it".

It's a beautiful car and I couldn't be happier with my purchase! it has that sport feel and look with a comfortable interior. With the cvt engine the car has a smooth yet quick speed drive. It's definitely a "cool" car with a unique sleek look. I've got a lo of comments on the car being brand and new and of the latest version even though it is a 2009. It has a timeless design all around.

My 2009 Nissan Altima 2.5 SL is a great car for its value. I bought the car last June at a local Nissan dealership. The car had been sitting on the lot for about three months and the dealers gave me a sweet deal on the car. My Alitma is a sandstone beige exterior color with a beige leather interior. The interior is well done, comfortable, and contains a great safety system of eight airbags, eight speakers, multiple-HUD screen views, great warning systems, and it is very spacious. The exterior of my car is sleek and looks elegant from afar. The tail lights of this car is my favorite feature of the car. My altima has six-spoked 17 inch allow wheels, a sunroof, and dual exhausts. My altima did not come with fog lights, turning signals on the mirrors, or a spoiler but those are cosmetic and if you did have those options on this car it would make this car stand out even more. So far I have put on 15,000 miles as I do a lot of traveling for my job and to commute from Western Montana back to Eastern Montana for school. I have determined my car to get around 29/30 miles per gallon. The fuel tank in this car is quite large and the fuel economy aids in helping get this car 500 miles plus on just one tank. The wheels are well made. However the car is very low to the ground and is made of very light material, so If you hit some wildlife it could cause significant damage to this car. The car is almost noiseless on the highway and the shock absorbers absorb even the worst bumps. Like I said before, the car is a great car for its value. Alitmas make great gas mileage, are a smooth ride and the standard features are great.

Just recently eclipsed my 1st 1,000 miles with Scarlett (My 2009 Altima 3.5 SL named after Scarlett Johansson) and I must say she rides beautifully. She's fully loaded and everything looks and sounds great as well.

I OWN A SHOP AND HAVE TO DRIVE THE CARS AND THESE CARS ARE THE ONES WE GET MOST AT THE SHOP. NEWEST ONE WE HAVE GOTTEN WAS 2010. THATS NEW AND THEYRE STARTING TO MESS UP. THE A/C HOSES GO OUT ON ALL THESE AND ALSO MAXIMA EXTERA AND FONTIER BECAUSE THEY USE THE SAME HOSES. AND IT WILL COST YOU,WITH ME ABOUT 200 250 DOLLERS AND IN TIME COMPRESSOR GOES OUT WICH RUINS THE WHOLE SYSTEM WICH WILL COST ABOUT 750 DOLLERS. ALSO WHEN I DRIVE THES CARS THEY FEEL REALLY BAD AS IF THE MOTOR MOUNTS ARE BAD THEY SHAKE LIKE AN OLD HONDA AND ITS 2010 WITH ABOUT 90,000 MILES SEEMS TO ME THAT THESE CARS WILL ONLY BE GOOD TO 100,000 MILES. THEY ARE JUST CHEAPLY MADE

I bought my 2009 Altima SL Sedan new and have been impressed ever since. I'd prefer a truck, but fuel mileage was a great concern. My overall gas mileage is about 30 mpg - on trips I've got about 34. Mine's a 4-cyl and while it's not super fast, it's pretty impressive (and I'm one for speed & acceleration). I've had it for 3 1/2 years and after almost 56,000 miles, I have no issues. One of the best things about it is the comfort of the seats - the leather buckets feel like a comfy chair at home. I hope this helps someone decide to purchase this vehicle, you won't regret it.
