2014 Nice but...wiring/electrical issues!

I first tried a 2013 but didn't like it....really noisy. After test driving other midsize cars and reading that the 2014 had more insulation added, I took the 14 out again and thought it was a lot better...and bought a 2.5S. Unlike the 13's the 2014 S has a display audio package option.. (Rear view monitor...USB port....& 5" display) for $320...so I added that option. This car has a lot of positives....nice compromise of handling/ride...Great gas mileage...No engine shudder like some 13 owners had. Power steering noise once out of the garage is a non-issue for me. So Nissan has corrected problems for the most part that the 13's had. So the issues? Read on.

No so impressed after three years of ownership

I was excited when I bought this car, but after the first two years of ownership, I regretted the purchase. It has been perfectly reliable and economical, but the exterior trim is showing signs of corrosion and rust. The leather on the driver's seat is wrinkled and buckled, the sunroof rattles each time the driver's door is closed, the A/C compressor runs continuously, the heater doesn't work when outside temperatures are warm (and it's hard to get cold air when outside temperatures are chilly), and the design of the interior controls is inconsistent and confusing. Also, I'm not sold on the benefits of the CVT, although it has never stranded me. Yet. That said, the car gets 35 MPG without trying and it rides nicely. However, there are other cars at this price and in this class that are better built, have higher quality materials, don't have a CVT, and hold their value better. My next car won't have a CVT.

I have owned my 2014 Nissan Ultima for 2 weeks now and my wife and I are (extremely pleased), I have had my eye on this car for about a year. I wanted to purchase a vehicle that would give me the most overall value, quality, for my money and a vehicle under $25,000 with all the features I like. And that was the 2014 Ultima. We test drove the base model and that was nice. But I wasn't going to leave the lot without having a spoiler and remote start. After a little haggling and negotiating about those two features, the salesman found one with the Sports Value package. Spoiler, Remote Start, and 16" Alloy Wheels. We walked away with that added package for the price of the base model.

Love My Nissan Altima

I purchased a 2014 Nissan Altima SV and I love it! I had a 2011 Altima that was a great car so I went back to Nissan and I love the changes they have made. The vehicle rides great and has "0" gravity drivers seat which makes a long trip alot more easy on my back. The Michelin tires that came on the vehicle create a smooth ride yet the suspension lets you also feel like you are still driving. The car looks very sporty and yet still has great interior space. Numerous people have commented on how great the car looks. The gas mileage is the best feature of all. I average 39 miles to gallon on the highway!! Nissan has built a great car that is fun to drive and yet provides the best gas mileage!

Most dangerous car on the road

I bought a 2014 Nissan and when it reached 100,000 miles I noticed my dim headlights were bad. I took it to the Nissan dealership and had the bulbs changed and it didn't get any better just kept getting worse. I went back to the dealership and we googled it and most everyone that has a 2014 had said their dim lights didn't work and it was a projection flaw and cost up to 2000 to fix. When I have to put my lights on dim for on coming traffic, I literally have to slow down to about 5 mile an hour are STOP in the middle of the road till the oncoming traffic passes where I can put my lights back on bright when I can see. When I put my lights on dim, it is like I have turned them completely off!! I am getting rid of this car since Nissan has no concern to fix the problem and somebody will get killed in this car one day or kill someone. I would advice anyone not to buy this car because you can read the reviews on 2014 Nissan Altima headlights and see that these cars are just a accident waiting to happen. Hopefully Nissan will decide to fix them before that happens and so many lives are lost. My rating is one star but if I could have got it none I would have!
