Never regret buying it

I did not plan to buy a Nissan at first but afterall I did own one. It works much better than I expected and now I feel sad to let it go.

Very Stylish

Very stylish, great for a traveling/commuting student. Lots of trunk space for bags, luggage, and laundry. Up to date amenities, smooth ride, and plenty leg room.

Best Fuel Mileage for the size

The CVT transmission allowed my wife and i to get an average of 34 mpg. It has doe 38mpg with just highway. No shifting with this tranmission made for extremely smooth excelleration. Attractive looking car. All 2013 Altima models came standard with bluetooth, streaming audio and keyless access proximity key with puch botton ignition. Had a fair amount of standard luxury options on mid trim SV model. This was the 2.5 L 4 cylinder. Good car for the money!

Not Ideal

I loved it at first, it was a dream. I have owned it for 10 months now, I have had to replace the transmission, it gets just about the same MPG as my sisters 2018 F150 STX. I am paying 18k by the time I pay it off and it was worth 14k max retail upon purchase. There are a few things they do not tell you when buying these cars, I just simply would not recommend it. I have loved mine, but I think there are smarter sedan options out there.

Good value for horsepower for the price

Decent car, goes quickly off the line. Suspension leaves a lot to be desired but for the price it's a great vehicle. Twenty five words

Reliable transportation

It is very comfortable and easy to drive. You have no stress of it leaving you stuck on the side road. Very good on gas.

Don't buy this car without a warranty.

The first thing you need to understand about this Altima Coupe is that it has a CV Transmission, (which was a bad idea on Nissan's part) that is prone to break down at some point, if it hasn't already before you buy. The transmission starts whining around 35K-60K miles. Outside of the crap transmission, it's a cute little car and has nice exterior styling. If your height is less than 6'0" you should fit comfortably in this car, if you are over the 6ft mark, you are gonna feel the squeeze.
