One of the most comfortable cars you can sit in. Good power and handles very well for its size. Interior is nice but the plastic cover of the radio easily shows too many streak the second you wipe it and it was the worst bluetooth commands i've tried. How many times must i confirm to call someone??? Superb fuel economy.

I just bought a 2014 Altima SV I think the car is beautiful quiet with a load of technical upgrades and options available and I'm very happy with it.

i had Nissan pathfinder, 2013 model, which i got transmission problem @22749. they changed whole assembly. i went good till it hit 49000, when it got stalled in highway (good god, i merely missed being killed). again they said thy want to change the whole assembly. now at 82000 i have to change that [non-permissible content removed] transmission for third time. only thing that don't change is the expression for people working in service department when i said its transmission problem. my brother brought 2014 Altima which also got transmission problem, which is only 28332. even ,y friend who leased a Nissan rogue got his transmission replaced at 15000. i am trying to sell my but those things don't have any resale value. with the money buyers ask me i am thinking better to keep it even its a pure junk.

Great Car so far, phenominal fuel economy

So far, car is as Edmunds has described. The most remarkable thing about this car to me is the phenominal fuel economy I am getting. Most of my mileage is highway, but there's some stop and go rush hour on the highway and some weekend around-town driving also. Now that the car is broken in and temps are high for the summer, I am averaging an honest 40-42 MPG per tankful! Over and over again. No kidding. Incredible for a car of this size and power. Of course, there's some focused driving skill that goes into getting these numbers and I've got the tires aired up to the max, but if you work with the car and it's shift program, 40+ MPG is easy for me during the warm weather.

Transmission failure at 69,000 miles.

I purchased the car with 67,000 miles on it and proceeded to have the transmission replaced at 69,000 miles. Thankfully I had a warranty that cover the over $4000 repair. It is a nice looking car, great interior and features but the performance due to the CVT transmission is just crappy. I cannot say enough bad things about the performance of the car. I drive rideshare and had to pick up someone on the side of the interstate due to their own car breakdown. I swear it was the slowest I have ever gotten to 60 mph in my life due to the lack luster performance of this transmission. I regret buying it and hope that a tree will fall on it during a Florida storm as I see that as the only way to improve my ownership experience so far. This car has nothing on my 2006 Pathfinder that had nearly 200,000 on it. I fear if I keep this car too long I will be placing another transmission it it. I will change the fluid every 20k and I have Royal Purple oil in the engine. I think the engine will outlast the transmission once again. Just stay away from this car and any Nissan with a CVT.
