2007 Nissan Altima 3.5 SE 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl CVT)

Review

After 2 months of searching and test driving, I ended up with an Altima SE. I drove; Camry, TL, G35x & Accord and by far the Altima was my favorite. It's sporty and has everything I wanted in a car. Please know it does drive somewhat like a sports car, so if you want a smooth ride go for the Accord or Camry. This car is the whole package, from the redesigned exterior to the dash and interior, I just really like the way it looks for a 4dr sedan.

Favorite Features

Bose sound system, leather, alloy wheels, spoiler...the overall size of the car, (the Maxima's have gotten too big).

Suggested Improvements

Nothing just yet.

Just not quite good enough

Review

I have had Acuras for 12 years and decided to go with the new Nissan as a change and in response to high fuel prices. Tried the Honda, Nissan, Toyota and choose the Altima because of overall package for price. Aside from the recalls which I had expected given the first model year of new model, I have had a number of issues that should not have happened and have lead me to believe it is not worth the price. To top it off, I do not believe Nissan places as high a value on dealer customer service. I would not recommend Nissan cars or their services and I am trying to get my money in order to unload this car that is just not good enough.

Favorite Features

Looks, expected fuel economy, interior features and use of new technologies.

Suggested Improvements

Build quality, customer service from Nissan and their dealers after the sale. So poor and especially when it came to letting me know if an air bag sensor issue meant the air bags were going to work or not. Could never get a straight answer.

bad transmission & endless recalls

Review

My car has less than 30000 miles and the transmission already has to be replaced. My rotors had to be turned already and don't get a remote starter to the tune of 549.00 for this really bad car. I'm trading this thing in next week. What's it gonna be like at 40000 miles?? If I get one more recall I will scream!!

Favorite Features

push button starter

Suggested Improvements

Overall a cheaply made car. Quality of workmanship and parts has alot to be desired. Doesn't compare to my 99 Pathfnder. I can't believe it's the same company. Move over chrysler!

2.5 SL

Review

Great car for the money. I bought it brand new and it is now 2 years old. Nissan did a wonderful job of picking nice features to include and leaving others out to provide a wannabe luxury car at an economy car price. This is a very comfortable car, and performs wonderfully on the highway. I have added a K&N filter and that has given me a few extra MPG. The mileage is not as good as advertised on the sticker, but is still exceptional. I get about 32ish on the highway and 26 in town. The car handled very well in the snow. The only maintenance I have done is change the oil and clean the air filter in these first 26000 miles and I have had no problems at all. Just a great car. Highly recomended

Favorite Features

Sleek look. HEATED SEATS!!!!! (great for Rochester winters) CVT is great on gas mileage and provides a smooth ride. Plenty of pep for a 4 cylinder. Nice leather interior. Folding rear seats really help when hauling bulky items. Cupholders that WORK and are easy to clean. Excellent storage all over.

Suggested Improvements

Traction control. Folding side mirrors. Trunk hinges interfere with storage space - struts maybe in the future??? No power passenger seat. No seat memory. Make the oil filter easier to access. You have to take the front right wheel and a shield off to get to it unless you have a lift. All minor stuf

Love this car

Review

Bought this car new in Feb 07 and have had only one minor problem. The brakes squeak when I first drive it in the morning, but goes away after the first 5 or so miles. Test drove the Camry first and then the Altima. Hands down the Altima was a better car. All in all great car.

Favorite Features

Keyless entry and push button start. I never have to take the keys out of my pocket. Also the CVT transmission rocks.

Suggested Improvements

Replace the armrests with something other than cloth.

I Love It

Review

Overall i think this car is amazing. It is fun to drive and i love the way that it feels when you drive it. I have had no problems with it it is perfect. I recently just found new features in the car. In the center counsel you can take out the cup holders and it is one big open section. It drives very nicely as well. It is a smooth drive i can feel the power. I always look down and im driving faster then it feels like im going. The transmission is very smooth and i think that is the best feature to have.

Favorite Features

I love the transmission, and the way it feels. I also love the push button start. It so easy not having to take the key out of my pocket or digging for it in my purse. This car is well equipped and has a snazzy looking interior as well.

Suggested Improvements

I don't think that it needs an improvement. It is great as it is. In the next few years as more inventions come out the car will be even better with even more features.

Horrible in snow

Review

Bought my Altima about a year ago. LOVED this car all summer. It's quick, very light handling, and has very responsive breaks. But then it snowed. I live in rural central New York so we get some serious snow storms, I spent most of the winter in my apartment because the car was so bad. I have driven front wheel vehicles all my life and have never had a problem, even in storms when people with trucks didn't want to go out. On ice, however, this car is GREAT!!! Just not if there is more than a dusting of snow on the road. So if you live in a southern state or never leave a city up north you'll be fine.

Favorite Features

Performance (in warm weather)

Suggested Improvements

The FOB is great in theory but a pain because it dies every few month. Make the front end a little heavier.

2.5SL is a great Maxima Replacement

Review

After 9 years in my 97 Maxima GLE, I thought I wanted an Acura TL or TSX, but the premium fuel requirement and stiff ride put me off. My dealer had a 2 yr. old red 2.5SL with blonde interior and I was sold. So far I really like it - lots of nice features - dual climate control, rear A/C vent, compass/autodimming/Homelink rear view mirror, manual shift mode, steering wheel audio controls. The on-center feel/highway tracking doesn't seem to be as good as the Maxima, but it drives very well. I miss the quality of the Bose stereo and the lateral support in the driver's seat during corners. Mileage is quite good so far and it pulls very strongly. Quite a chg from my wife's 2001 Altima GXE!!

Favorite Features

Solid feel including closing the doors. Strong 4 banger. Sonoma Sunset Metallic is pretty! Lots of air bags. Lots of room including the trunk.

Suggested Improvements

I'd rather have traction and stability control rather than the push button start (but I like the push button start so far).

So far disappointing

Bought car used with 23,000 miles on it, traded in 2006 spec v completly bolted with nismo add on, altima is beauty of a car I got the 3.5 se and the power is great, have had less than a week and I have been to dealer twice passenger front seatbelt was broken and it had been in a slight fender bender which sales man didn't tell me about when reading the carfax to me I should of read it myself, bonehead move on my part, all in all it is a Nice car but the oem bridgestones are like driving on the original caveman wheel, LOL, extremely loud on highway to say the least. I traded my spec v in because of medical issues from a injury I received in Kuwait, hope I made the right choice time will tell.

Not Comfortable

Written by: JoeFrank on 04/26/2009

2007 Nissan Altima 2.5 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 6M)

Review

One of least comfortable cars I have ever driven. Every bump, every hole, every paint line is felt. Even my old 96 Camry and 2001 Regal are much more comfortable. I wanted a car to take on trips, but this is not the car.

Favorite Features

Suggested Improvements

Terrible suspension
