I have had my Altima for a year now, and am 90% happy with it. The seats are pretty good, but after about 6-8 hours on the road, start to show their inadequacy. I have put over 26,000 miles in a year, and not had any issues. Very quiet, does well at high speeds, great a/c and heat, love the Bose and the keyless entry/start. Not perfect when it comes to tracking a straight line at high speed. Needs micro-corrections frequently, and the computer screen should have been recessed into the dash to avoid glare from the sun when the backup camera is in use. Would definitely buy another one.
Enjoying my new car!

I've never been compelled to write a review of my car until now. It was a toss up between the Altima or the new Sonata (which I still REALLY like the styling of). However, after paying attention to the cars on the road, the Sonata's seem to be everywhere!! Sure, there are also a lot of Altima's, but I think it will stand the test of time. The engine is smooth, and the CVT transmission is just bizarre to get used to. When driving "nicely", you can actually accelerate to 60 mph without revving past 2000 rpm - almost at a constant engine speed. Around town, the computer says I'm getting 26mpg. After driving the CVT, it was weird driving our van and feeling the shifts!

Everything is good except the CVT transmission. Nissan CVT transmission is not a good transmission, if it broke down, you need to pay $4,000 to replace it. And there’s a lot of people saying there’s CVT transmission problems with their Altima. Nissan has a recall for Altima CVT transmission, but not for 2011 model.

I purchased this car off lease, with 29,000 miles. No real issues to speak of until the odometer hit 93k and the car started to make a terrible whining noise in the drivetrain. My local garage confirmed that the CVT was the culprit. Nissan dealer wanted $4300 to replace it and the other quotes I received were even higher. The service guy at Nissan said the transmissions are good for 100,000 miles if you do the fluid flush every 30k ( did mine at the recommenced 60k). As everyone is aware these Nissan CVTs are complete crap. In addition to the premature failure the performance is terrible, with low speed herky jerky movement. So bad is the design that Nissan will only give a 12,000 mile warranty on the replacement. Do yourself a favor and stay far away from this clam.

Searched for a roomy family sedan with power, good fuel economy, comfort, latest technology all while having a smooth and quiet ride. After online research, we test drove the Volvo S60 T5, Hyundai Sonata LTD, Buick Regal CXL, Acura TSX w/NAV, and the Toyota Camry XLE. Given our strict criteria, the Altima SR V6 beat the competition. The CVT engine is something that you need to drive to experience. This car is by far the quietest ride in the backseat than any of the others we drove. After 1,000 miles, we are getting 25 mpg in combined highway and local driving. The bluetooth handsfree system and iPod connectivity was the best we found amongst the cars we tested.
