2005 Altima SL over Accord EX
Nissan has won me over. Having owned a '95 Acura Legend, a 2001 Accord, and a 2003 Oddessy, I was a loyal honda customer - the key word is 'was'. I test drove both cars, and felt the Altima was a better car in the top of the line trim vs the accord ex v6. The redesigned Altima interior for 2005 is a nice improvement, although some of the compartment doors still feel a little cheap. What sold me was the performance of the Nissan v6. It is smooth, throaty, and has gobs of power at the will of your right foot.
My 3rd Altima
I have owned 3 Altimas a 93, 02, and 05 and I love these cars. When I got my 02 it was pretty basic but I fell in love with the performance, stupidly I got rid of it for a truck which I later regreted. Which is why I decided to get my 05 and I am so glad I did. Unlike my 02 my 05 is loaded and its beautiful. I am very pleased with it
I'm in love with my mystic emerald SL
I just recently purchased my 2005 Nissan Altima SL. This was an upgrade from a 99 Altima GXE. Boy what a difference... you can't even tell it's the same model. I love absolutely everything about my Altima, from the exterior styling, color, leather interior, steering wheel controls, power driver's seat, sunroof and definitely the Bose stereo system with 6 disc dashboard changer! But I have to say what sold me on this vehicle is the V6 3.5L engine with 250 horses. What a bang for the buck! I purchased my Altima for right at $25000, about $200 over invoice. My hubby and I thought this was the best value for a midsize sports sedan, and I feel comfortable with our decision.
Great little every day car.
This is my first Altima and it is a good little car. It's reliable and looks good. If you need a quality car that handles fairly well for a stock vehicle and would like a reasonable price, this is your car. If you are looking for massive power, don't look to this car. Go up to the Maxima which is also a great car.
I love my 2005 Altima
I love driving my car, i feel very secure, and i love how roomy it is. i love the v6 power, never am i going back to 4cyl.. the altima has everything your looking for in a car plus more.
Love it
Love my car. I have never had a Nissan before but I love it. It holds my family well and it's comfortable to ride in. I enjoy traveling in it also. It also does pretty well on gas.
