Bought this car in 2017 for $6500.

Bought this car in 2017 for $6500. It had 86k miles. Currently its at 188k miles. Never changed the transmission oil. Other than regular maintenance I've only had to change the radiator, water pump, the struts and the coils twice. I will be changing the axles , front shocks and the valve cover. Car has been good to me. I thought the CVT would have given out by now with all the stories I've heard about them. Car is slow. Back seats are uncomfortable. MPG isn't the best for a 4cyl. Plenty of leg room and trunk space. If you can get one with less than 120k miles for cheap and you have a reliable and affordable mechanic take the risk. Worst case scenario you burn 3-4 thousand dollars. best case scenario you have 5-10 years of a reliable car without a car payment and you save on car insurance.

Nissan Altima coupe 2.5s is a great car!

I bought a Altima coupe a few years ago, used with about 150K miles on it, and besides a few battery issues (not the cars fault, don’t buy batteries from auto zone.) it’s been nothing but a great little sports car! It drives fantastic, sounds great, and can get up to speed quickly. I love my car and I think with a tune up and some fluids changed it can feel just like new! Would definitely recommend this as a first car for a teenager or young adult, has amazing gas mileage and is easy to park and drive since it’s so small. Overall I love my Altima coupe and I hope to keep it for a long time!

Blind spot

I have a 2003 altima in addition to the 2010 Altima. Huge difference. The 2003 is a better made car. The 2010 has very uncomfortable front seats with a headrest that creates a bad blindspot.

Really Great Car

This car was always there when I needed it to go to school and back. It is used mostly locally other than that. The car has been involved in a couple of minor accidents although it is reliable.

My 4th Nissan

My 3rd Altima. I previously had a 3rd gen lease and then a 3 year lease in 2010. I purchased my 3rd Altima as gently preowned SL with the technology package. The Xtronic is smooth as a CVT can be. 12 years ownership in 4 cars and never any major mechanical problem. Handling is good as well as braking. The ride is forgiving not floaty. The interior layout is perfect and gauges are clear. The Bose 9 speaker system is a place you can spend time in with the moonroof open in the dessert sky.

nicest overall car that i have owned

everythings fine for the few days that i have had it except the motor noise is too loud at higher speeds and the thing i really dont like is the film/wires in the rear glass window has waves in the film whcih is installed by nissan which produces a blurred view that is you cant see out the back window clearly everything is very blurred which seems to be a big mistake by nissan also i like and dislike having the push button starter it easy to start and turn off but its always on my mind that one day its not going to work and then what does one do may be a lot of trouble and costly to get it to work or is inconvenient to get a replacement

A good car...has served me well!

Although my car is ten years old, I could not find a better used car anywhere. Bought this car new and have had some repairs over the years but overall it has served me well. The AC is the best of all the cars I have owned, which has been many.
