Used 2006 Nissan Altima Consumer Reviews
Best all around vehicle in its class
Been a great car since day one. I used to be a GM fan until problems with Saturn drove me to check out other car makers. Best move I ever made as the Altima rides and drives circles around anything GM has in its class! Hopefully, the engine oil consumption issue will be cleared up soon as it was extremely proactive by Nissan to provide us with an 84 month or 100,000 mile extended engine warranty at no charge!
A great purchase
An excellent car for the money. I was considering a couple competitors, (Accord/Civic, Subaru Legacy, Camry) but none had the interior room of the Altima. I'm 6'1" and test drove the car with the seat all the way back. Afterwords, I got in the back seat behind the driver's seat and my knees did not touch the driver's seat! I also have the special edition package that places audio controls on the steering wheel, along with a trip computer and 8 way power driver's seat. The car gets comparable gas mileage to the competitors and it is less expensive. I also love the color (smoke w/ frost interior). The cloth is very soft and comfortable. Overall, I'm very pleased and the car rides beautifully.

Where's the oil going?
Was alerted shortly after purchase that the car had a heavy oil consumption by Nissan. I personally think they knew all along. Was told to keep receipts for reimbursement. (on oil) Wish i had known would have purchased a Honda ! They say they will come up possibly in 60 days with a fix. I dont have the slightest idea where the oil is going i checked underneath and tail pipes. I am a very dissatisfied customer! i have just 500 miles on it and already the oil level has dropped a little.
Nissan comes through again.
I am very happy with this car. Can't get over the power. Constatly feel like I'm driving a V6. Very smooth in town a little noisy on the freeway. The gas mileage has been pretty good, 25mpg in town, as high as 30mpg on the freeway. Beats Accord and Camry hands down for looks. Great buy for the bucks. By the way the Special Edition package is worth every penny.
Best Car I have yet bought
I just recently bought my Altima. I had looked at other competitors, but thought that the small interiors would not work with my growing teenagers. I wanted a car with excellent gas mileage and great handling and I think I have gotten both. Couldn't recommend a nicer car for the money. The gas mileage on it is excellent!
