Doesn't feel reliable

This car feels like its made cheaply. Steering wheel vibrates, cars rattles above 70mph, + road noise is horrible. Cars also shudders & idle between the 1st & 2nd RPM. Great speakers though.

Great family car

I loved this car but I drive about 100 miles per day commuting to work. I racked up the miles pretty quickly and traded her in.

Pushing close to 90k and going strong

I have owned suv's my entire adult life. This car has held up just as well as my bigger vehicles in the past. I have owned the car for 6 years and it's still going strong! I would recommend a Nissan to any of my family or friends!

sleek style and smooth drive

This vehicle is great for taking trips out of town or accross the county. It has never failed me with many times I've used this vehicle to make trips out of town and back and forth from Texas to Florida when I was in school. Even after all those trips I've made this car is only at 87,800 miles in 8 years of using this car. I'm impressed by the quality of the drive, the sleek look, and level of comfort this vehicle has provided me. I cherished this vehicle and now I am ready to pass it on.

Well pleased with the purchase

I am glad I went thought with the purchase. It is a smooth ride and it was well maintained. The car dealership was also very nice and courteous, and made the car buying process very easy.

Nissan Altima - The Ultimate Average Car

The 2009 Nissan Altima is an elegant yet fun and spacious sedan. The paint has lasted well in the FL weather but it is starting to show minuscule rust spots. Moving to the interior of the car and relating it to hot climate, the dashboard is made of a weird foamy plastic that melts easily. Other than that, the plastic in the doors and the fabric in the seats does not show wear. Performance wise, the car is a little bit loud and accelerates slowly but yet it is a reliable ride.
