Truely A Great Car
I've seen all these reviews for sometime, had to add to it. Got mine in 08 with 35k, now it at 172k and still running great. No major issues, just normal wear and tear having to change shocks recently along with the back calipers. I hope to get another 100k. Definitely a great car to get if you are looking for something for your college kid , can find cheap good deals for it.

2000 Nissan Altima
You know that a car will only last as long as you have followed the proper maintenance schedule for the car. I bought this car in 2013 and the previous owner did NOT take care of it. Just dumped it as soon as things started to go wrong. I checked all the oils, fluids and filters and they looked horrible...But the good news is that my son is now driving the same car to college three years later and it continues to performs PAST my expectations. The Altima is now 16 years old and he plans on driving it another two years. Update12/2016 As with any older car there will always be on-going maintenance to do. Just recently, I noticed a small leak in the upper radiator hose connection to the engine block. That gasket after 16 years in finally giving out. So I will be replacing that gasket and the thermostat at the same time. Since it is December I will also be changing the oil again. Temperature is getting down to 0 degrees...brrrr. Still a great car.

Super dependable!!
Had my Altima since 2014, took it from 92k miles to now about to pass 200k miles. I have NEVER been left stranded in ANY Nissan, this Altima being NO EXCEPTION! I previously owned an 05 Altima which I fell asleep driving on the freeway.. I literally woke up and had to turn the car off lol and then it drove me home when I got out of the ditch! Totaled that one and to get back into another Altima was a no brainer.. Don't drive tired!! Forgot to mention, found a RARE (in my area) Altima S with a 5 speed manual tranny.. Thing is so smooth 👍 update 09/2020: 210k and still rolling!

Loyal car
I have had this car for twelve years and have enjoyed it very much! As long as you take care of it, it should last you a while. Mine is a little shaky once I get past a certain speed (over 50) but nothing unbearable. Very good quality for a 2006.

Dream Car
I love this care. I have only one concern -- my sun-roof does not line up totally flush. I have noted no unusual road noise and no leaking at this point. Has anyone else had sun-roof issues? This is my first vehicle with a sun-roof, and I love having it. I just want to make sure it won't leak later on.
