ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!

I WAS RAISED OLE FASHIONED, " BUY AMERICAN MADE" MY DAD ALWAYS SAID. MY DAD PAST THIS YEAR AND WHEN IT CAME TIME TO BUY, SORRY DAD! BUT I HAD ALWAYS HAD MY EYE ON THE ALTIMA 3.5, IVE HAD MY 3.5 A WEEK AND A HALF. AND I LOVE IT. JUST A NOTE, I WORKED FOR LEXUS FOR OVER 3 YRS. AND THIS CAR IS OF THE VERY SAME QUALITY STANDARD. IVE LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT. THE HANDLING, THE COMFORT, THE GAS MILEAGE. NOT TO MENTION SHE IS A BEAUTIFUL CAR TO LOOK AT. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS VEHICLE TO ANYONE, IN FACT I'M TRYING TO GET MY MOM TO GET ONE!!!

Best of the Bunch

This is a great car and peforms really well. I had a Saturn before and she gave out on me after 11 years so I decided to try something new. With the good trade-in value and stylish look my new 2011 Nissan Altima is my best friend. The only little thing that was a little misleading was the gas milleage. It's really not as good as they make it to be unless you are driving real long highway miles. But would'nt trade it for nothing!!!

Best Designed Car I've Owned

We test drove 3 other models. The Altima was the first one we took out. We test drove the Fusion,Milabu,and Impala. The Altima won hands down. Mike and Renee.

Pleasure

I am extremely happy with my new Altima & anxious to take it on a road trip soon !! I first saw this model when my daughter showed me hers at Christmas time. I especially like the push button start feature. This is the first vehicle that I have had with the auto lights & system cool/ heater feature. We love the XM Radio subscription & have renewed it to be able to enjoy ad free music on trips.

Good car, bad gas mileage

I leased my Altima in March, I like the car and it is very comfortable, but the gas mileage is not good at all, I had a Camry before and the gas mileage was a little bit better, the EPA always lies. If you get 16 miles per gallon in city call yourself lucky.

Value ++

I was leasing a Lexus ES350. It was an amazing car and by far the best I had ever driven but the lease payments were killing me. I bought a Nissan Altima 2.5 SL after considering several other manufacturers. I have been pleasantly surprised. With the amenties on my Nissan I gave up very little that the Lexus afforded me and am saving hundreds of dollars each month. Add regular gas and better mileage and you get Real Value ++.

Second Altima I've Owned

So I recently upgraded from a 2009 Altima to the 2011 model and I LOVE it! It's definitely more bang for my buck. It rides great, the features are great and overall, it's a beautiful looking car. Highly recommend.

Ultimate Altima

Purchased a 2011 Nisaan Altima 2.5L a few months back. In fact I traded-in my 9 years old (still in perfect condition) Altima 2.5L. Gear looking, great feeling, great moving vehicle- the 2011 is such a pleasure to drive. A relative of mine also traded-in her older Nissan last year for t he same Altimaand is as happy as a clam. The new continues variable transmission is an interesting mechanism- but it needs just a little getting used to. When you leave the gas pedal while going downhill, you don't have the feeling that the car is gliding effortlessly, rather, it feels like you may have shifted down (just a notch). In any evet- all in all, fantastic car with great gas mileage. Highely recomended (and beautiful to look at too...).

Great car for the money

I've owned a 3.5SR Altima for a year now. After owning four Saturns, I was forced to look for a new brand to become loyal to. Nissan is it. My Altima rides great, looks great and performs exceptionaly well. I'd recommend a Nissan to anyone who asks. Only knock I have are the tires. The 3.5SR has so much power that even with a little gas the tires spin in even a small amount of snow. I'll upgrade to a better quality set of tires when the time comes.

Great car

I had a 2002 Maxima (base model) and was a great car. Then I had a g35 and was awesome but the gas mileage was poor. I ended up buying an Altima 2.5 and added the leather and sunroof. The car looks great and feels great. I am a Nissan lover. I did not see myself buying a boring looking Toyota Camry or a Honda Accord.
