I owned one for 8 years with absolutely no problems save replacing the brake starter switch 6 months after I bought it. It has been a great commuter car. The Bose audio system is top of the line. Like most Nissans, it just ran and ran and ran completely reliably. The CVT was never a problem. The SL package with heated leather seats was nice. The engine always ran smoothly and had good to great acceleration, if occasionally 3/4 a second of hesitation when punched. The audio was the most outdated thing on it, as it pre-dated Airplay or any LCD-type display, just textual radio displays and (gasp) a 6-disc CD changer. It only required normal maintenance - oil changes, rotations, a couple of 60Kers. It was still in great condition when I sold it in '19.

I have seen lots of problems with my Nissan Altima and having another problem with Transmission now. It really sucks, don't buy Nissan ever.

First car I have ever bought on my own. I was looking at the Honda accord coupe gti and and civic si, being that I am 26 I didn't want a " boy racer" so it came down to the altima and accord. The accord is a little bigger, but the altima drives like it weighs nothing and the look of the altima surpasses the accord hands down. Love the cockpit of a drivers seat love this car

I really wanted to like this car. Even though it wasn't originally sold in the Midwest where I live, I had a dealer get one for me back in 2010. Over the weekend, my car stranded me with the infamous steering column issue. I couldn't get it started in the Mall parking lot...no prior warning lights, etc. Upon trying to start it, the red "key" light came on. Today they fixed it under the "extended warranty" which should've been a recall. The dealer did tell me the parts aren't always in stock, and some customers had to wait a month for a part and repair. Bad job, Nissan. The romance is over, and I'm kicking you to the curb.
Awsome,no problems

Idk what people are saying about charging issues, mines fine and I love the car. Leather, sunroof, bose, dial climate control (as was my 96.5 regal gs but at least nissan caught up) no problems, stiff,sporty suspension was a pleasant surprise, Hub bearing in front went out at 200k can't complain about that.
