Traded at 39,500 miles with a transmission problem

Loved the car but.....after two years got a recall to reprogram the transmission or Nissan would not be responsible for damages! Afterwards, instead of a smooth windup, it operated with a jerky pseudo shift that made it difficult to drive smoothly. The internet revealed a systemic problem. A year after the warranty ran out it developed an intermittent shifting problem like being stuck in a low gear. No longer trusting the car, I traded it off. I had expected to own the car for much longer so this was an unanticipated financial issue. I did not buy another Nissan. Very unfortunate.

I'm 69 years old and I like this car better than any I have owned. I bought the car new and it now has 87,000 miles on it. I did have a warrantee repair on the transmission at 10K miles, great ever since...I will consider buying another Altima, great car..

Altima nears ultimate for my driving needs

great car, feels solid on the road, surprising performance, very comfortable, good space and comfort for passengers, remarkable gas mileage--hit near 40 mpg on first highway trip after purchase!! only had the car a short time so cannot evaluate repair frequency or a few other "length of ownership" details; my only complaint--I do not like the range of headlight beam in rainy conditions; would definitely purchase again --and will be a standard for future car buys. --Warning: buy from a reputable dealer or carefully explored other --almost got stuck with a badly hacked repair --that looked good on the surface. at 59,000 my CVT (transmission) failed. fortunately it was fully covered under warranty. I love driving this car --but am concerned that this transmission type has some flaws...

2 years and 20K miles - no major problems so far

So sorry about all the problems I see from other owners! Mine has been really nice so far. Ride is very comfortable, especially on the highway. There is a bit of road noise from the rear that bothers me on rougher roads, but I'm very sensitive to road noise. I think most all newer sedans are geared much sportier than 20 years ago, with stiffer suspensions and lower profile/larger tires, so the Altima had equal to lower road noise than the 2014 Accord, Camry, Sonata, etc. Granted, I did not test drive a Buick : ) Anyways, the Altima is quite a cruiser and handles pretty well also. But it was a great value. I got the SV 4yl for $21,500. Hope mine holds up a bit better than some others on here

Don't get me wrong, I love my German engineering (Porsche, audi, VW) but Nissan has always been my favorite brand. The two main reasons is you get great technology and performance for the price. I drive 45 mi. each way for work, I just sold my 2002 VW jetta TDI which was on its last leg and bought a new 2014 Altima. I LOVE THIS CAR! I literally put the cruise control on for the whole commute and I never hear or feel the engine struggle, I also consistently get 520 miles per tank, the ride is so smooth and with 8K miles on it now I have not had one issues. The only think I plan on doing to this car is adding anti-sway bars and lowering springs to fix the family car roll feel.
