Our Altima now has 241,000 KMS on it - about 145,000 miles - and it is as solid as the day we bought it. Yes we have the little oil leak problem, but hands down this is the best, toughest most reliable car we have ever owned! We recently bought a new vehicle, but we would not part with our Altima, as I think at 12 years old it still has years of life in it!

I bought this car used and have had it for 2 years. I did have a couple of problems at first: check engine light and air bag light. The check engine light came on twice and it was the oxygen sensor. Faulty and needed replacement. The air bag light has come on 4 times. The last being about 10 months ago. The airbag module was replaced twice. I was fortunate that the dealer covered these problems. Other than that, it runs great and have had no problems. Love it!!

Have had this for 32 months. Super reliable. No maintenance other than oil changes. Now has 85,000 miles. Just goes and goes and goes. Never had such a reliable car. Has sold me on Nissan / Infiniti. Looking to get an Infiniti or Maxima. Not real comfortable for long drives, but does the trick. Around town, just fine. Get up and go when you need it from a 4-banger. Mileage a little low for this size engine. Overall super value.
