2009 Nissan Altima consumer reviews

This car has everything I've ever wanted in it, so big and spacious. Love that I have a sunroof and wasnt even looking for one with a sunroof, extra bonus.....great and satisfied!!!!

This Car met all of my needs. Fuel efficient in city and on highways too, safe n fun to drive vehicle. Great car for small family. Spacious and stylish.

My is satisfied and only comp is the leather interior coming a loose. I love the gas mileage and it’s professional speed. I like it’s looks. But the head lights needs work.

Satisfied til this happened! Have taken care of my cars and use garage and leave windows down to prevent hot car. Have never had this problem with any car before. When you pay thousands for a car it should hold up! I want it replaced or a full credit on a new car!

I bought the car new in 2009 - now have 10 years and 104,000 miles on it. The Nissan engine had been great. It still runs like new. I have replaced the belts; spark plugs; one oil seal has leaked twice; and an emmissions cap. Original starter, ignition coils, alternator, engine mounts - and no major issues. Exhaust system is all original. CVT had one service covered by warranty. However it seems to be struggling the last few months - can hesitate or surge. My 98 Altima also developed transmission issues in its 11th year. The CVT has always been sluggish with the AC on; and the car seems to be 'searching for a gear' in snow or ice. It handles horribly on snow. On temperate days the accelerates beautifully and overall w the AC off the car has excellent power for its era. The speed sensitive steering and wheel design makes for very good handling - I tried many small and mid size sedans and only the Mazda 3 and Altima 3.5 were better. But the steering is very sensitive to tire pressure and alignment - if either is a little off the steering can get too much play or be overtight. The regular breaks are great in good weather or rain - anti locks are awful in snow. They just increase stopping distance and overemploy. I love all the features for 24,000 - heated leather seats; Bose stereo; climate control AC; sun roof; alloy wheels; anti glare rear view mirror; blue tooth (which was not standard at the time). But lots of corner cutting. Leather has not held up well - both front arm rests broke or wore out (covered under warranty); the key fob sensor failed and locked the engine stranding mr (though the 1400 repair was covered under extended warranty as it was a bad design); the center lid/arm rest cracked and I had to have the left bolster of the driver seat repadded. Also while the speakers have held up the display and the up button to change the stations are failing. No knob which is ridiculous for a car stereo in the sayellite era. Also all parts connected to the car ride dynamics have been subject to failing. The break master cylinder, break booster, rotors, wheel hubs, control bars, a sway bar and the shocks all needed replacement in the first 90,000 miles. The body. power train, and exhaust system have held up well. Overall i think it is a nice, slightly sporty, design mixed with a 'classic sedan' style and a ride and handling that match the looks. It can be a very fun car - but is also erratic and not cheap to maintain. Like a smart, aytractive girlfriend who is a little crazy.

Great car. Runs Great. Looks Great. Awesome on gas. Very reliable car. A/C super strong! Stereo sounds Awesome!! Took me to work and back and to road trips. Love this car!

All around great reliable car that you will not need to worry about. Gas mileage is AMAZING and you’re getting a high quality made car for a very great price.

Its a very good car, i cared for this many years and have clean title on it. comfortable trunk space , can load very big boxes from costco

This car meets all my needs and maybe all the needs of a person looking for a used car not so old. This test drive was amazing.

Best car in the last decade I Owned This car for more than 10 years now and I like it so far Even if I purchased a new car I will keep this one 😊
