I have owned many cars in the past including last a 2010 Acura TL. After renting a Nissan Altima and driving it round trip over 1200 miles for a trip I was sold and got rid of my Acura and brought the 2014 Nissan Altima S with the Sport Value Package. I absolutely love the gas mileage I get from it I easily go all highway driving over 600 miles before needing gas and the features are great for me not too many not too few features. I think it has a great ride and looks impressive. I get lots of comments on it and so far after purchasing it in mid September I have only had oil changes necessary and anticipate no problems in the future.
Great car, if it only ran

From jerking violently while shifting/CVT to shuddering until it shuts off while idling at stop lights, turning, behind school busses, etc., shutting off each time the car is placed in reverse or drive to completely disengaging while driving down the road/highway leading to coasting while the gas pedal and engine stop "talking" to each other, my car has progressively become a death trap. This 2014 Altima appears to completely flummox the dealership's service folks. They can't seem to fix it. Corporate refuses to pay for or replace whatever is broken. Oh, to top it off, the same Nissan dealership said it is only worth $9k for trade in. Despite being very happy with the car for the first 18-months, this 4-time Nissan buyer is desperately searching for faith that this car's current issues are a fluke, can be fixed, and the car I worked so hard to buy will return to being the reliable, comfortable, and economic car I loved.

The transmission won't last if you want to speed 4500$ for a new CVT transmission then waste your money and buy this car. I do all highway little shifting over it's life and the transmission failed. This the 1st and last Nissan I'll ever buy. Nissan has a bad history of this and it's catching up to them. Don't waste your money they won't help or care.

Love this car. Smooth, quiet and a good quality car for the money. Traded in a 2014 Honda CRV for a 2014 Altima SV. Getting better gas mileage and a smoother ride. Have noticed that noise when accelerating that everyone is talking about. It does not bother me though after all I am coming out of a noisy SUV.
Great Car... If it Weren’t for the Transmission

DO NOT BUY THIS CAR. As a matter of fact, stay clear of, at a minimum, all of 2013-2016 Nissan Altimas. The Continuously Variable Transmissions (CVTs) are garbage. The Nissan franchises, and especially Nissan Corporate in Tennessee, will do everything they can NOT to help you. They put out a horribly bad product and are obviously trying to not lose all their profits by NOT fixing them. Just Google it. Seriously. You will be bombarded with hundreds of consumer stories about cars shutting off at highway speeds; or more likely, as is my case, slow speed lurching and jerking from these cars... According to the documents I’ve read the courts seemed to have settled on the term “jutter”. You’ll also read about Nissan’s repeated unwillingness to do anything about because “[They] can’t reproduce the problem”, and class action lawsuit after class action lawsuit that they’re trying to skate on... I think the latest is Caebe v. Nissan. If you go to them at least three times for the same unresolved issue, start citing the class action suits, give them plenty of attitude, and are under warranty, they MIGHT help you. The only seemingly positive stories I’ve found are people who had their transmissions replaced, or had software updates to the Transmission Control Module per one of Nissan’s Technical Safety Bulletins (TSB) from corporate... The TSB from January 2017 basically directed franchises to only do the software update if they absolutely had to. Either way, consumers have said that neither repair has fixed the problem. One colleague of mine who worked in the industry said your best best is to raise hell and give them attitude because almost everyone works on commission and the top supervisor’s not going to want customers seeing you upset. So they’ll likely do whatever you want as long as it pacifies you long enough to get you off their property... which is what I had to do to get my recent software update. Do yourself a favor a stay away from the CVTs.
