I just love it

This car is the xxxx, the steering wheel pulls in and out for adjustments, I don’t like the radio it’s not loud enough but that is my only complaint.

Most independent car I have owned.

This Nissan altima is a great car. It just had a new transmission put in it. New oil change and also new tires. My husband is a mechanic so maintenance on my car has always been up to date. This is a life long car if it's continued to be taken care of. The interior is clean and like new. 5500 obo

Most Reliable Car I ownded

This car met all of my needs. I need something with good gas mileage would last me a long time and not need a lot of work done to it. I loved the auto start on my vehicle and the bluetooth connection to make calls without having my cellphone in my hand. The sunroof was a bonus and allowed enough room for myself and my husband (who is 6ft 5in)! Definitely recommend and would buy again from Nissan.

Extremely reliable, durable and inexpensive to own

Great looking car. Thrash it unmercifully and it never missed a beat and still delivers about 20 mpg. Extremely reliable and parts are cheap. Easy to work on yourself if you choose to. SL trim package has mapping/gps, 5 CD system with Bluetooth, plus a plug in for your cell tunes, Bose sound system, rear view camera, leather/vinyl interior, sun roof, body package upgrades. Big fan of keyless start and run system. Can't say enough great things about my 2007, I do wish it had more power, but, I would only pickup more speeding tickets.
