This has been a very reliable car

I have had only minor problems through 100,000 miles. I have driven it, obviously many miles in the 4.5 years I've owned it, and have had great success. It did have a few issues that were covered by the extended service contract I bought - something I highly recommend.

I love my car made for me

I asked to have the car made for me so it is a limited special edition. I get wonderful mileage, have an oil change every 3 months and have recently driven it back and forth to NC twice a month. I average 3/4 tank of gas for 200 miles. Other than new tires, I have had no major problems. This is my 3rd Nissan and I will hate to part with it.

Passes Crash Test with flying colors

I had heard bad things about Altimas in crash tests. Yesterday I hit an SUV, a telephone poll, and landed on my roof. I climbed out myself and aside from being a little banged up, I'm fine. Thats what I call passing a crash test. I always enjoyed the car, it was very quick for its class, smooth ride, good handling, very roomy and comfortable. Great buy. I will say I did have to get a few repairs, axels and what not, but probablems didn't start until about 70000 miles.
