Bought this car brand new in 2008, S model. Loved the CVT engine, got used to it after 3 days of driving. Comfortable drive, car turns like a dime. Did not have any major issues except 2013 when the dealer have to replaced the brake cylinder for leakage (under warranty.) Still driving with original tires and break pads which I need to replace soon otherwise, it runs and drives beautifully! This is my 2nd Altima, my first one was a 1994, drove it for 15 yrs. with 170k miles on it.

Purchased a new 2008 Nissan Altima 3.5L coupe in September 2007. Currently has over 285,000 miles and still runs well. It's a little sluggish at times but I've had zero major problems. All I've really done was change the (synthetic) oil faithfully every 10,000 miles. If I could purchase another one I would. This is the best vehicle I've ever had and I've had at least 10 others.

Must get a 3.5 to fully enjoy this car but the styling alone will make you like it. Cool and well done inside and out. When I see Infiniti G I think the Altima coupe is nicer looking.

I've had my car for about two months and it's been nothing but fun. I've driven it around the city and taken it for a trip from Virginia Beach, VA to Pittsburgh, PA and back. The car's got zip and is so much fun to drive. For awhile during my trip back to VA Beach, I was getting 41 mpg, that is until I got stuck for 3.5 hours in DC for rush hour. I still ended up with 34 mpg overall. I'm very happy with my investment and being a Nissan, I'm sure it will last me for quite some time.

I bought mine From Carmax for $7500 (Awesome deal btw thanks to Associate discount program) Had 92k on it. I’ve added 10k to the odometer and haven’t had any issues thus far. Love the convenience features and how it rides.
