Bought this car used in 2015 with only 10,000 mi. on it. I now have 54,000 on it and its been a Great buy so far. The only thing I have done to it other than oil changes is a brake job at 48,000 mi. my only complaint is that the seats are not as comfortable as my 2005 altima. Now have 78000 miles and still running great, just had transmission fluid changed with no other problems, just put new tires on and it feels like a new car. Now on its 7th year of ownership with 99000 miles and still running great. Only repair since last time was rear calipers at 98000, cant complain. Had a recent problem with rear suspension that cost me $2300.00. Debated whether to repair or junk the car. It only had 116,000 miles on it. I went ahead and did the work and so far Im happy I did. Time will tell if it was the right decision?

Great car; Terrible paint quality

Bought a brand new 2012 Altima for my son's 18th birthday. He has a fairly long commute to work and put around 100k on it within 7 years. Mechanically it has been a very reliable car. The problem is that the black paint/clearcoat began to erode after around 7 years. As the clearcoat begins to chip it shows a white chalky substance on the black paint. His hood is a mess and it is starting on the roof as well. i contacted the dealer who was quick to point out that it was out of warranty so there was nothing they could do about it. I have never purchased a brand new car that needed to be repainted within 7 years of ownership. Needless to say I will never again purchase a Nissan product.
The most reliable car I’ve owned.

After 6 years and 165,500 milesaside from oil, tires, brakes (scheduled maintenanvpce) the only issue I had was a failed air conditioner compressor and a door lock that would occasionally stick. Still runs and looks great.

When I bought a Nissan Altima I was thrilled. When I looked inside the interior look brand new. Very roomy and comfortable for road trip. Plus it get great gas mileage. Also inside the car there are plenty of storage places. All the electronics worked great. It's a push to start no key is needed which I thought was pretty cool. The outside looked good no dents and had good tires on it. When I test drove it it drove very smoothly. No problems with the vehicle at all. I would recremind getting the vehicle if yu are needing something reliable and great on gas.
