Great MPG highway. On a recent trip from D.C. to NJ I got 34.2 round trip. Short, slow(city), and hilly driving is another story. That kind brings MPG way down. The car does have a kind of 'groan' while accelerating or maintaining low-medium speed but I don't find it bothersome. Otherwise it's quiet. The CVT is awesome in Ds mode. Very nice acceleration. Love pseudo 'gearshift' effect in Ds mode. I have the heated seat issue where you get heat either at bottom cushion or the back but not both at same time. Repair attempt failed. Need to go back with it. update 02/16- the repair shorted out and was fixed again. 2/28/2016: My daily mileage went from 4 miles to and from work to 50 for the last year. The car drives like new still. Engine (6 cyl) is fabulous, car handles well ( if I were buying again I would consider the SR model, which was not available when I bought in 2013) . Update Aug 30, 2016: Car now has over 50k miles and continues to please. Very comfortable, fits like a glove and is fun enough to drive. Ample power, handles nicely. MPG is a little lower these days on new tires which are not like the originals which were low rolling resistance. Update March 2017 ; 60,800 miles. Excessive deposits on battery cable ends was cleaned. Replacement tires are not LRR and I notice a drop of about 1.2 mpg overall. Shifter starting to make 'crunching' sounds when shifting in/out of park.

Usually cars have tradeoffs. Power vs. gas mileage. Ride comfort vs. handling turns. Size vs. price. The Altima somehow seems to defy these tradeoffs in a way I've never experienced before. I don't know if its new improved technology or money. It has an eager powerful engine mated to an excellent transmission thats knows what you want to do. Great mileage (32.5mpg mix). Handles turns great while providing supple ride. All with tons of interior room. One of the best cars I've ever driven.

Love my purchase! Aesthetically pleasing interior for the price, exceeding expectations. The instrument panel is easy to read and the layout is relaxed and comfortable. Because of the remote starter, I'm okay without heated/cooled seats. The 7 in monitor/navigation screen is pretty awesome and so is the zero-gravity seating. It's all really cool, including the performance. In fact, my sedan actially drives better (to me) than the 2012 and 2013 coupe version, which I drove exclusively the last two years.
Disappointed and Concerned/Buyer Beware

I purchased my new 2013 Nissan Altima in January, 2013. I have had the vehicle now for nearly 2 months and 1300 miles. The performance of the vehicle thus far has been very disappointing. A very annoying vibration and lugging of the car upon acceleration at low rpms has been an issue. I just recently took a short trip using all interstates and felt a vibration and howling noise in the car the entire trip at speeds of 65-75mph. I have called the dealership and was told this was typical of a CVT Transmission. That statement is far from the truth. Nissan has a serious problem and needs to find a solution to correct this problem. Without these very annoying issues this can be a great car. Replaced vehicle within a year.
