Great gas mileage.

Great gas mileage. I had my 14 Nissan Altima for 5 years, bought it at 64,000 miles. No issues at all, up until 130,000 miles the transmission failed catastrophically and left me stranded. This car was very well maintained and had no problems up until the transmission failure. I hear early CVT transmission is very common in many Nissan models, and I'll never buy one again.

Too many issues

I purchased my 2014 Nissan Altima SL in 2016 with 22k miles on it. The car currently has 85k miles. I will start with the positives with the car: The fuel mileage is phenomenal. It averages 30.5 mpg city/highway combined. The interior is very nice with heated seats and steering wheel. I liked the one-touch phone feature. Now for the negatives: I have had to replace every strut/shock on the vehicle. I recently replaced the left rear suspension control arm again - Nissan does have a unlimited mile/84 month replacement warranty on them due to their propensity to rust and break. My bluetooth is no longer working correctly - it dials the wrong numbers and nothing has remedied the situation. The driver's side interior door handle just broke and it won't open the door. The right front wheel bearing has also worn out and now needs replaced. The rear backup camera often malfunctions and the screen is just black. The radio occasionally will not work or cuts out while driving. All of this in 85k miles. I find the car very unreliable - I have NEVER had this many issues with a car I have owned before.

lot of problems with this car

I had recalls ones .Dealer they fix it .Now my airbag light came on. I called Nissan Factory they don't want to stand behind their product. They say by my VIN number there is no recall on my car . She also said that after 33,000 miles that I didn't have no more warranty .So pretty much they will not do anything for me .Dealer want me to pay $142 just for diagnosis . My car is Nissan Altima 2014 and I just have 62,000 miles on it.

A very nice drive

I got the SL version of the car with the technology package, and it is very nice. The remote start is very handy for when I need to warm or cool down my car before I get in. The navigation is useful along with bluetooth, and heated seats+ steering wheel are a nice touch. It also comes with a backup camera which can be useful since you can’t see all around the car by turning your head. It also has lane departure warning and blind spot warning lights, making it very safe to drive.
