Unreliable

i have the V6 SR edition and I have had so many electrical problems with this car it hurts. I am not sure if I just got a lemon but it's so sad. I bought this car new and I LOVE it. Except for the cost of repairs adding up. The sound is fantastic and the car is fun to drive. Just be prepared for pricy repairs down the line.

2010 Altima

After test driving multiple vehicles my wife and I decided to purchase a 2010 Nissan Altima. It has 45,000 miles and the CVT transmission. We needed a mid-size sedan for our family that good good gas mileage. We average 27.5 mpg in mixed driving. The car looks good with the black interior and pearl white paint. The CVT takes a little getting used to as you don't feel any shifting from the trans. Only owned it for about a month but has so far been reliable. I have seen many Altimas in this year range with over 100,000 miles going strong so I expect this car to last.

Great Car!!! Great Service!!!

I love my car! It's a 2010 but it looks and feels brand new! It rides beautifully and I couldn't be happier! I am really impressed with the great gas mileage, we just filled the tank it's good for 512 miles...that's what I'm talkin about!!! It has great pick up for a 4 cylinder...and she's smooth! Keith Baker at Eisenhauer Nissan was awesome...no pressure, just helpful and professional! All around wonderful experience!

Great car

I just purchased my car.. it was used of course 2010 had aobut 45k.. but so far I am so loving it. I had a small SUV before and I can really tell the difference in gas cost. The pickup is great, overall I am loving this car. Great value and should last me a long time.

Super smooth ride!

Great experience at cars.com. The site narrowed my search to the car I wanted, price I needed, and mileage I wanted.

Loads of Fun

I picked up my 2010 Altima off lease with 18,500 miles.. Very good on gas, good acceleration, plenty of legroom for me, I'm 6'1. Tons of storage space. Very responsive steering and brakes. I have the 2.5 S, and it has plenty of power. Stereo is good. Very sharp looking!

Practical, reliable, sporty, fun

I just got out of the Mom mobile phase. I had 2 minivans and a large SUV. I am so happy with this fun car. There is not one thing about it I don't like. It has everything and more that my last Cadillac Escalade did, but with a much better feeling as I drive away from the gas station.

Worst Purchase I've Ever Made

I bought my 2010 Altima brand new. When we first bought the car we loved it. But about 10,000 miles into it the engine started making a knocking noise and started burning through oil. We were having to add 2 qts of oil every 1500 miles and having to change the oil early sometimes. I took my car into the dealership 3 different times before they finally had to rebuild the entire engine. They rebuilt it at 22,000 miles. Then, at 55,000 miles my a/c system was leaking freon in 3 different spots. It took 2 and a half weeks before the dealership finally fixed that problem. I would never even consider buying another Nissan. From my experience, I would say they're not reliable and I wouldn't waste your money. The purchase of my Altima is hands down the worst purchase I've ever made.

no so bad...

just recently bought a used 2010 nissan altima 44,000 miles on and it seems to be a pretty decent ride. previously owed a 2011 scion tc and my altima blows da scion away. more spacious, smoother ride, jus overall better that that old coupe i had . one minor problem - after reaching 80 mph, there seems somewat of a rattle that makes the steering wheel shake .besides that i would agree that this is the best ride i've had .
