Used 2012 Nissan Altima 3.5 SR 2dr Coupe (3.5L 6cyl CVT) Consumer Reviews

Great Car With One Fatal Flaw (CVT)

Overall, the Altima Coupe 3.5 SR is a well rounded sporty car. There is plenty of fun and comfort to be had while behind the wheel of the Altima. The Bose sound system is out of the world as well. Unfortunately, the CVT transmission in these cars are horrible. Please, do not purchase an Altima with a CVT transmission. The Altima is a dangerous vehicle when equipped with the CVT. Hesitations are very common and loss of power has also occurred. Eventually, the transmission will go out. Please please please do not put yourself in this position no matter how good the price may seem! This car has scared me multiple times while driving. If you are looking for a fwd Japanese sports coupe, look into a Honda Accord Coupe v6 or even a manual Altima Coupe.
