I first saw this car in a magazine and I told my husband that I had to have this car. That was at the end of May. By the 2nd week of July, I had purchased my new Altima coupe. I am so happy that I bought my coupe. It was the best decision. This is my first Nissan, and I will buy another and another. I love my car and I would not trade it for anything. People stop and ask me, "Is that a Nissan?" I of course say yes it is and it is mine. I have to see another coupe around here and I am glad that I was one of the first to buy it. Thanks Nissan for one awesome coupe.

What a great car! This is the second car I've owned, my first was a gas guzzler. Stepping down from a Trans Am WS6 5.7 liter engine to a 2.5, I didn't expect the Altima to have much power at all. Man, was I wrong this car is a joy to drive. It's very spirited with the CVT, but also can get great gas mileage. I've been averaging 30mpg, 40 on long trips. Handling is superb also, I live down a long back road with many curves and It's exhilarating navigating the turns. I love the exterior of the car, It's just gorgeous and stands out from the crowd. I get compliments all the time! If your looking for a all around balanced sporty ride, look no further this is the car.

This car is amazing. It drives beautifully. I love everything about it. The Bose stereo sounds great. It's so fuel efficient, such a nice change from a 98 Chevy Blazer. The look of the car is hot and I love that you don't see a ton of them on the road. I have the premium package and its so worth every penny. The bluetooth sounds so clear. I love the push start button. The features of the car are great and I'm so glad I own this car.

I currently have 150,000 miles on the car. No issues. Had the 100,000 mile service done. Oil changes every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. Very comfortable ride. the 3.5L has very good pickup and go. My only complaint is the headlights fogged up around 100,000 miles, but it seems a lot of cars do that nowadays. This is my third Nissan. Had a Nissan Stanza 5 speed that I sold with 180,000 miles and a Nissan Frontier 5 speed that I sold with 170,000 miles. I have heard issues with the CVT transmission, but I have had no issues yet as it is an expensive repair.

It's not a G35!

This is my 8th Nissan. I have had Sentras, Maximas, 350z and my last car, Nissan Murano which I traded with this car and I regret it. I have had this car for over a year and most disappointing is the interior. Very poor quality and cheap materials. Have you seen the interior of Hyundais? Much better quality. I had the car in at the dealership several times to fix squeaking sound caused by moonroof. The dashboard squeaks on rough roads, the back part of headliner is coming apart and passenger seat belt rattles occasionally, tires are lousy on snow and so is the fat wiper blades. The exterior and performance and all the gadgets are great. I have the fully loaded version.
