So far I love owning this car. I plan on having leather installed on the seats.

One of the best cars I've driven

I am very happy that I bought this 2013 Nissan Altima 3.5 SL. I am also very satisfied with the Campbell-Nelson Nissan customer service, they do everything possible to make their customers happy. My salesperson Roy answered all my questions I had about the car and he explained everything that I needed to know before I left the dealership with the car. I will come back if I ever plan to buy another car.

Squeaky Brakes and Lag in Bluetooth

On July 5, 2012, I drove to the dealership to discuss issues with the 2011 Juke I had purchased the year before. I didn’t know anything about the new 2013 Altima, but one of them was on the lot and I must say, it was LOVE at first sight. I traded in the Juke and I thought it would be a romance that lasted forever. Disappointment however set in quickly (as with the Juke). One month later, the BRAKE light came on. Shortly after that I started hearing the brakes squeak and most recently noticed that if I am on the cell phone and get in the car, there is a considerable lag time for the bluetooth to pick up the call. I have taken the car in 5 times and nothing has been fixed. Lemon.

Best car I've ever owned so far anyway.

2013 Altima SV- Smooth ride, averaging 30 mpg overall, steering better than many other sedans, no problem with wandering, maintains a straight line well, engine is smooth with no shuddering, much less noisy engine than earlier Altimas, comfortable seats, controls are easy to operate, excellence all around. After driving this car for just over 3 years now, I still stand by the earlier review. This is a great car. There have been no mechanical problems at all, no issues with anything breaking or falling apart in the interior. I've only had one slight issue with the heating/AC in that the mode/vent directional occasionally changes from what I've selected on its own for some reason. It seems that the computer-calculated MPG is a bit higher than my calculation, but the fuel efficiency is still good for a car this size. I have heard the squealing sound that others complained about a few times when the car is idling but only if both the radio and the vent fan are off, however this is usually inaudible when the radio and fan are on and it has caused no issues with the normal operation of the vehicle. When the older family car is on its last leg, we will become a 2-Altima family!
