2009 Nissan Altima consumer reviews

The car is very comfortable to drive. Very reliable if maintained properly. Good for a college student like me. Would recommend for anyone that wants the same experience.

I had to be towed 3 times due to the steering wheel going out, break switch and battery on 3 separate occasions. Beware while sitting in car with the key fob and the engine is not running this will run the battery down as if you left the lights on. I like this model for the size and style and the excelliration on the highway as well as everyday traffic. Not a good passenger car because the low seats make it hard to get in and out especially for older people.

This car was fun to drive and looks really cool with dark tint. Felt almost like a luxury car in my opinion. Nissan keeps proving themselves

I really enjoy this car. I ended up getting the coupe to add a little sportiness to it. It has been extremely reliable without needing any significant mechanical work aside from general maintenance. I ended up with the 2.5 S which is pretty quick though I wish I had held off for the 3.5 (I had just owned a supercharged V6 beforehand so that may not be a fair analysis). My only complaint is that the interior is a bit basic (I've actually had my sunvisor come loose during driving and swing down and hit me in the face. Funny, but not at the same time).

Definitely would get it if I had enough money, but it is a very very nice car that has full potential to be something great

Much like other Nissan CVT owners, the transmission is HORRIBLE!!!! DO NOT GET THIS NISSAN, OR ANY SIMILAR. Bought this Nissan when it was at 170,000 miles, however, previous owner replaced with new transmission at 119,000 (at Nissan dealership... I have the receipt for it). After only a few weeks of driving it, the car was already making weird noises, and gears were not shifting correctly. TWO TIMES: I was driving on the highway, and car just stopped accelarating. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. NO TRANSMISSION SHOULD GIVE OUT AFTER A LITTLE OVER 50,000 ADDED MILES!!!! And yes, I did take it to the same dealership that replaced the transmission, and was told that nothing could be done. Horrible customer service. This car is so much maintence, and EXTREMELY UNRELIABLE. DON?T WASTE YOUR TIME, STRESS, AND MONEY.

This is a great car. The most important thing is reliability for me, and this car never let me down. I have nothing negative to say about it!

A good car with all the basic needs. Is spacious and has plenty of leg room in every seat. Reliable with no major issues for the year that it is!

It's a great vehicle for almost anything. I have folded the seats down and fit a 10ft ladder in through the trunk! Also very safe and reliable.

Great gas mileage and performance. Fun to drive and love all the looks that the car gets . Would recommend it to anyone, love the power.
