The mileage is not as what was advertised. It's much less. I'm only getting 23 MPG combined.

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!

2013 Altima SV - Nothing but problems - not recommended

Car seemed like a good value with a good mix of features vs. price when purchased. However, ran into many problems in the first 7,500 miles. There was noise coming from the passanger tires. Constant rattling from the center cosole where the CS player is located. It was made of very cheap plastic and would get louder in hot weather. The sunroof would rattle. Had it replaced once but turned out to be the frame of the car above the driver's head that shook loose from car body. Probably a bit dangerous when I think back. I found the seats to be extremely uncomfortable and had back and leg pain. Replaced with Honda Accord and there is a huge quality difference! no problems after 10K miles
