Great car for the price.

My daughter is over the moon with her first car. It is used and is the base model of the Altimas. it runs great. It has a back up camera which is very helpful for my daughter. Great gas mileage but we live in a little town so the commute is short. It’s a perfect first car.

This is our third Nissan we have purchased.

The style is great, the red color perfect and the horse power is better than one would think. Could have a few more options for a 2017.

Absolutely the best value for the dollar

If you want a solid, reliable car with very good handling and a peppy four cylinder engine which averages 30.6 mpg (my actual to date) and almost 40 MPG on the Highway (my actual) this is the best value for the dollar.

Nissan, enough said.

The car does everything I need and then some. The way I drive I get over 45 miles to the gallon and have no issues when I need performance. Great car, can't go wrong with a Nissan, especially an Altima.

Have been a disappointment

Started off a wonderful cost for the money but one nightmare after another. At 40,000 transmission had to be replaced then the remote key would not take command to start the car. So, they change the battery on remote you think this is good just wait. Then at 53,000 shift gear noise they blame the me and stated that coke was drop on the shift gear. Now at 58,000 the same remote key will not take command again will not start the car again. So, I must use the other new car remote that will give to me when I first purchase the car. I have called Nissan every time and they give you a bull story and do nothing. I love my car, but Nissan will not take no responsible for a bad product.

Unreliability

I bought my Altima in late 2017 with 5 miles on it. I use it for long trips mainly, and have put 40,000 miles on it. In less than two years the starter has been replaced twice and the Intelligent System Key light has activated making the car completely in operable which has happened multiple times. When I mean completely I mean completely, if the windows were down they are stuck down nothing works period. The vehicle then has to be towed to closest Nissan Dealer for system to be fixed. So when the warranty runs out at 36,000 the extended does not cover it. Other than those issues the car drives nice is extremely comfortable, and I Love the styling the main reason I bought it.

I love this car of mine.

This car is one of the greatest I have ever bought. Marina took me on a test drive, and I fell in love with it .
