Burning oil in a foreign car???

I've had this car for just over a year and enjoyed it until I started burning oil for no reason. No leaks, I'm actually BURNING it! I went through a quart of oil in about a month. I thought the hype of buying a foreign car was how reliable they are mechanically... go figure. Oh, and there's some weird rattling noise under the hood that my mechanic described as a "loose shield" that I have to get fixed. Sounds like a can with marbles shaking in it when I'm at about 2-2.5 RPMs. And I guess I figured the whole point of getting a 4-cylinder was the awesome gas mileage. I average 26 and I guess I figured it would be more since 80% of my driving is highway. Go figure. No more Nissans for me.
Can't go wrong

I sold Nissans for about a year. I drove an Altima for a demonstrator for about 3 months and have never driven a better value. As soon as my wife graduated college we ran right out and bought one. There are nicer, more expensive vehicles out there but for the money you will not find a better buy. Any problems you find on JD Power's website are almost certainly the salesperson's fault for not explaining fully the car's features and how to opperate those features. Remember that they only count "problems", which could range from a blown engine to how to open the fuel door. Don't fault the car for an incompetant salesperson. You can't go wrong with the Altima reguardless of trim level.

So far great car after 1 year. Sporty practical and fast. Gas prices were a lot less when I bought a year ago. This car gets great highway mileage. But i spend most of my time idling in rush hour city traffic. A bit costly at today's prices but worth it not to have the standard 4 wheeled grocery cart.
Nice design, sketchy execution

The Altima is a great car. When weighed against the Accord, though, there are several shortcomings including: Five speed auto, standard ABS, heated mirrors, arm rest extension, and 10000 mile oil change intervals, and interior materials, to name a few. I bought the Nissan because of the dealership and because it's not as common as the Accord. The Altima has more power and (seemingly) more room plus features the Accord doesn't have like BOSE and a trip computer. I can recommend this car, but buyers should take both for a ride!
Performance Sedan

A performance sedan that delivers as advertised! The 3.5L 250HP V6 responds instantly. Combined with the 5-spd auto in the manual mode, the Altima is just flat out fun-to-drive. Interior materials are not on par with Toyota or Honda and some visual obstruction due to the door pillars. The optional navigation package with Bose, and XM radio makes this proven reliable sporty sedan a standout among its competitors. Avg 24 mpg in combined city/hwy driving.
