This is the most reliable car I have ever owned.

This car meets my need. The seating is comfortable and there is enough room in the back to put my walker in. I like the way it drives.

One of the best cars for gas mileage

Nice Car

This car is roomy, and has all the basic amenities i need in a car. It performs on the highway like a well made machine, which is important to me. This was a used car purchase , and my Nissan was taken care of well. I am excited to be the owner of another Nissan.

Would buy it again and again and again. LOVE

Have a Nissan Murano and wanted to keep the miles off that vehicle, bought a 2012 Nissan Altima. Absolutely LOVE this vehicle. Would highly recommend for ease of driving, comfort, overall reliability. I have not been disappointed. Literally have only driven the Murano four or five times in a month since buying the Altima.

2012 Nissan Altima 2.5 S

The 2012 Altima checks off the key requirements of a solid, worry-free sedan: It has a track record of superb reliability and safety scores, its cabin is spacious and comfortable, and it has an economical four-cylinder engine. If you're looking for a smooth, solid midsize sedan, the Altima is a good pick. Commuters will appreciate its fuel-efficient engine and easy handling. It offers some of the most comfortable seats in the class, and there's enough space in both rows for grown-ups to contentedly sit wherever they please.

Excellent car, quick and comfortable

My Altima is a fully loaded 3.5 SR and it is everything I could ask for and more. Quick car that still gets excellent fuel mileage. Plenty of interior space and it is very very comfortable for any length of a drive.

Awesome car for the price

A LOT of power for a small engine, but gets great gas mileage. Lumbar support is the best I've ever felt. Very comfortable, roomy interior and many features you don't get on other cars.
