Refined SV
I have owned 2005 S, 2012 S now 2015 SV. I have to say that I am very impressed with the 15 model. Nissan has made some impressive changes overall (noise reduction in the cabin, wind noise, cockpit display, power driver seat, sport mode, aux, usb). I only driven this vehicle for 500 miles, I just love the exterior look.
Blind Spot Warning, be warned
I have a 2015 Nissan Altima SV with tech package. I noticed immediately after getting the car about a month ago that when the roads were wet the blind spot monitoring system would give false alarms all the time. So far there are no software updates. I took this to the dealer twice already and I was handed a bulletin on the problem. I talked directly to Nissan and they have no fix, and in their words it was designed this way. I asked for a refund of the car since this could be a serious safety issue, and you can guess where this request went. Be warned, do not buy.

Great MPG BUT...
I purchased an 2015 Altima 2.5SL(new) in August of 2014. I live in MN so I went through a winter with it. Things I liked, MPG was phenomenal, lots of room, audio system was great, ride was comfortable. Things I didn't like, I started to notice what appeared to be rust forming on the trunk where the chrome attaches to the trunk(Dec '14). I kept an eye on it and in March('15) the rust was very noticeable, I contacted my dealer and they didn't seem shocked at all. They said it was fairly common. WTF? The car was 6 months old. They "fixed" it and within a month it was showing rust again. This time they had the body shop fix it. Then about a month later a started to notice rust around the back door opening. I was told it was due to gravel. Hmm I had an Acura TSX which I owned for 10 years and drove on the same roads and didn't have any rust until year 10. After the THIRD round of rust in LESS THAN a year i dumped the rust bucket. I don't know what to tell you other than I have read other reviews with the same rust issues. That is a quality control problem. i wish I could recommend the Altima but i can't. 3 issues with Rust on a car less than a year old is unacceptable. One round is bad but THREE!!! Buyer be ware.

Great daily driver with an appetite for fun
I bought the Altima as a daily commute to school. The car does extremely great in daily driving situations and manages to please out on the highway and on twisty county roads. The car handles great and has a comfortable ride at the same time. Has given me zero problems so far, I've owned it for 7K miles. The interiors are good quality and the seats are really comfy

15K and still purring along!
I am a first time owner of any Nissan vehicles. I have owned a lot of cars and I have read the reviews about Nissan vehicles in the past. People are correct that Nissan did have major issues with their CVT transmissions in the past. All I can say to anyone as a suggestion is that whenever you by any new vehicle or slightly used is buy the EXTENDED WARRANTY. My mother passed away in May 2015 and this was her vehicle and I took over on the payments and decided to take ownership of it and sold my amazing 2003 Infiniti I35 (Nissan/Infiniti are one) to keep it. Unlike the cars before 1999 all these new cars have a lot of sensors and computer crap and does go bad. More importantly if you see issues with your vehicle check online for recalls and check with the NHTSA (register your vehicle and they will send you complaints and recalls on your car). Research online for technical service bulletins that recommended service needed for the vehicle. When I purchased my first newer car ever in 2013 (never drove a car pass the year 1995) it was an amazing Infiniti FX50 S I got it from a private owner who had passed away and his wife was selling it. I got it for $10-$15 below book value so I thought I got it for a deal. First thing I did was research on the vehicle and though it had only 28,000 miles I was told an extended warranty was needed. Thank god I did it cost me $3,000 for the 7 years 120,000 coverage but in 5 months the Infiniti dealership did over $5,000 worth of work. Why? I found online thru NHTSA complaints from consumers about the vehicle and I found some of my own issues since I been working on car for some time. I also registered my vehicle thru Infiniti and called the corporate office and had a case number assigned to my vehicle forcing the dealership to fix the vehicle. Ironically enough you would think they would want to fix it since Infiniti corporation pays the dealerships when it comes to recalls or defects. Hope this has helped some of you out there. Reality is they don't make the cars like they use to. I love the cars from the late 80's and early 90's because they were simple now they manufacturer cars so you can't work on them and force you to go to the dealership.

Squeaky Brakes since i purchased 2015 Nissan Altim
The brakes seem to be an issue with this vehicle. I took it to Nissan and they said it was dirt, so they cleaned it and that was early on before my car even reached 15,000 miles. Now at 30,000 miles the brakes continually squeal when I'm about to stop, when I reverse and it's a constant sound. Again, Nissan said my brakes passed inspection and no need to change anything but they haven't done anything to fix the noise. Now it's more annoying then ever, the car is fairly new and it's embarrassing that I can be heard backing out of my parking space or when I'm at a drive thru and need to apply the brakes. After reading the reviews, I think I will attempt to take it to a mechanic and hopefully they can figure it out.

2015 Nissan Altima 2.5 S
I have owned my Altima for just under 2 years. Bought new. It is a great car, and good value IF you are someone who holds on to cars for a long time (6+ years). The car has 25,000 miles now and I haven't had any mechanical or electrical problems with the car. Only 1 recall so far (hood latch). My Nissan dealer gave me 3 years free maintenance when purchased, so I have spent very little on maintenance costs so far. The car drives well, it is a more sporty drive than an Accord or Camry, but doesn't feel as "refined" as the Accord. The best thing about the interior are the front seats, they are very comfortable. Great gas mileage, I do about 90% city 10% and average 31 mpg in summer, 29 mpg in winter. A month after I purchased the car, we took it on a 3,000 mile road trip (Chicago>Orlando>New Orleans>Chicago), for the entire trip we averaged 66 mph, including stopping, in-town driving, etc. and averaged 39.2 mpg (650+ miles/tank of gas), also got the car up to 100 mph and I must say it was fairly easy for this 2.5 engine. The CVT transmission takes some getting used to if you have not drvien a car with CVT before, but you will realize that the car is simply doing what it's supposed to do. CVT is the future of the automatic transmission, and the CVT on this generation Altima is much better than the previous gen (my last car was a 2012 Altima). The only negative I have about this car is the resale value is very poor, especially when compared with the Accord and Camry. I wouldn't buy this car new, but look for one that is 2-3 years old. Still highly recommended.

Comfort and gas saver midsize car
I rented this car for 12 days vacation driving around Los Angeles then to San Francisco with my family. Since rental car is a based model 2.5S, so it is unfair to comment about hi-tech or other fancy features. I also cannot talk about reliability since the car is like brand new. Gas saving is amazed for this mid-size sedan without lack of power despite of 4-cylinder engine. Yet, I drove around Los Angeles most everyday during my trips with heavy traffic to downtown, Universal Studio, and Hollywood area. I also drove up to San Francisco with up, down, curving highways. The car handled pretty well. Seats are comfortable. Both front and rear head/leg room are good even with one of my kids who is 6' tall. Little windy and road noise but acceptable, not bothering my family at all. May be the upper or top version 3.5 SL stronger and more comfortable.

Horrible whining noise after 10,000 miles
About a year ago a very irritating whining noise in the car cabin was herd. Went to dealership and they said it was the power steering pump and it was "normal" I have owned the car 24 months and the first 12 months no noise existed. Another 12 months of driving and the whining appeared and is getting louder every day. This is not normal and makes my drive very unpleasant. I now hate my Altima and Nissan has had hundreds if not thousands of complaints about the power steering noise and refuses to do anything. I will never buy another Nissan. Update.. I have owned the Altima almost 3 years now and still have the noise and still Nissan has done nothing even though it is still under warranty. Now I have brake noise after 30,000 miles and again they did nothing.

Very nice but . . .
This is a wonderful car but there a few minor things that bother me. The car is eye catching and has wonderful bells and whistles. Gets about 20 mpg in regular driving and about 24-28 highway. However, I probably wouldn't buy another becaus of a few things, number 1, you can't put the back windows down without it sounding like a freight train. I think it's the way the wind blows through the back. Secondly, after driving for 2-3 hours the heat shuts down and doesn't blow warm air. We are getting this looked into. Thirdly, at first the back seat was comfortable but when I tried to recline, I couldn't. Beware if you would like to do this. Nissan is a great vehicle company, it's just that this car wasn't for me and now I'm stuck. Should have checked out more.

Best unappreciated car
Love this car but the resale value stinks. Only thing else to complain about is the voice recognition and stereo sound isn't the best. Two and a half years later and the only problem with the car was reception with the satellite radio. Took two trips to the dealer and a combined total of 1 week without my car to fix it. Radio started acting up again, going to get rid of Sirius anyway. A little expensive at every 20k miles you have to pay the dealer to flush the brake system at $500(usual dealer rip off). Other than these things I have loved the little car.

Love this car!
I've read through all the reviews here and quite honestly, I don't hear any engine noise. The car handles like a dream and the fuel mileage is fantastic. The steering is a bit loose compared to what I'm used to, but I like it. There is plenty of room for all my grown children and grandchildren. The only thing that took some getting used to is the acceleration. It accelerates from the current speed with little or no shifting. It takes off quickly, it's just the feature is not what you expect. Although I do enjoy it. Overall, it's a great car!

I'm part of the 3 percenters
I rent the 2.5 all the time and personally wouldn't buy that version. I do believe it is too noisy and underpowered. I was one of the few that went with the 3.5 SL (Nissan confirms only 3% of Altima's sold are of the 3.5 variety). Sure, it was several thousand more, but the performance make it worth it to me, and the CVT purrs nicely (nice engine 'growl') when paired with the larger engine. Otherwise, it is fully loaded and I'm loving it. Came from a 2013 Fusion Titanium and had nothing bad to say about that vehicle, but LOVE the new Nissan...

Best car I've ever owned
The comfortable and quiet ride of the Altima compared to my previous vehicle is outstanding. There was also a huge difference in the clarity of the Bluetooth vs. my previous vehicle. I talk to my sister every day during our daily commutes to work, and she immediately noticed the difference! I am hearing impaired and the improvement of the quiet ride and Bluetooth has greatly improved my quality of life on the road!

2016 Altima - good experience
I was interested in good gas mileage. the posted 39 on the window seems to be too high, but i am getting a combined 31 or so, which is also posted. I am very happy with that. The interior is roomy and comfortable. I would encourage leather seats. I did not get that option - it was not really offered, but I have been in one since and it seemed to be more comfortable. I am not overly excited about the bluetooth-technology package. I drove a Kia Optima before and I much prefer the Bluetooth there. The Altima drives very well. The steering is tight and reminds me of a german car. The AC is very nice for a Texas driver. The blind-spot indicator works very well. The standard warranty is undervalued. It seems like most manufacturers are getting away from extended warranties. I wanted the Altima because I have owned Nissan in the past and know it is a quality vehicle and not usually a maintenance concern, but the 5/10 warranty offered by Hyundai / Kia is a nice thing. Overall I would say this is a very good buy. I would recommend it if a friend was asking me.
Whining noise
I to had a Altima with the whining noise. I did not know if it was the power steering or alternator or Tranmission. I have been putting up with this for over 2 years. Today I took it to a Nissan dealer. Problem was solved in an hour. It was the tension pulley.

terrible transmission
do not buy this car, or any car from Nissan with the CVT transmission. do some research and you will find countless reported problems. This problem is a safety issue, can leave your car stalled in traffic or intersection. Worst of all, Nissan refuses to rectify the problem for its customers.

My 2015 Altima
I've had this car for about a month now, I traded my Nissan Versa in after only 10 months because the tranny went out on me at only 18,000 miles... so I was skeptical about getting another Nissan. I got such a great deal on the Altima I couldn't say no($15,000) brand new. My versa was only worth $4,500. So I said yes and now I have about 3,500 miles on it. So far it seems to be a great reliable vehicle. The Transmission is a little weird at first and might take some getting use to. The cabin is cozy and quiet. The Gas is nice to but depends how you drive the car. I average about 29.8 MPG. I was getting 42.3 MPG when I went to Arizona from Los Angeles , I didn't even have to stop and fill up. It cost just about 50 bucks or less to fill a full tank up. It drives like a dream though, handles amazing through the Malibu Canyons and Accelerates great up the hills. Couldn't be happier!!

5 Times not a Charm
I traded my 2014 Sentra for a 2015 Altima SL in May 2015 and have had trouble with it starting 5 times now. The car is not reliable and I need something I can rely on when traveling to work, shopping, taking my Grandchildren places etc. We bought the Altima in May and in June the first incident occurred, we went to a party about 60 miles from our home, turned the car off and when we went to start it to go home, we could not depress the brake in order to get the car push button to engage. My Husband went to see if any of the guest's could help and as I sat waiting, I kept trying to get it started and voila! after about 20 minutes the starter button engaged and it started. This happened again about 3 weeks later, then again in July after my Husband dropped me off at the airport he decided to do some shopping (again about 60 miles from home) and he called the dealership to report the problem, they told him to hold the keyfob next to the start button, that sometimes the fob and the starter button don't communicate when they are too far apart, huh, what???? This happened again about 3 weeks ago to me, I drove to work, got out of the car and the lock on the handle of the car did not work so I had to use my override key to lock the doors but I didn't think too much more about it until I went out to go to lunch and again, the brake pedal would not depress and the push starter did not work. I called the dealership then and they told me to call 1 800 NissanOne or something like that to get the car towed, I was calling them while sitting in the car and was playing around with the keyfob taking the override key in and out of the fob and decided to try to start the car and again, voila! the car started. This happened again today, August 12, 2015 and I did not have time to play, I called an had the car towed to the dealership. I read some reviews about the brake system but I am not sure when Nissan is going to do about the car. I feel like I really got a Lemon this time, I should have done some research.

Love my car, but I think Nissan lied!
Ok so my car is a 2.5SL I have push button start LED taillights, steering wheel audio controls, Bluetooth, leather seats, but I don't have power or heated seats no heated steering wheel. The standard radio and hubcaps! How is this an SL? When I see S models with power seats??? I think they just stuck S, SL, on anything in 2015. Won't catch Honda doing that if it's a EX-L it has alloys, sunroof and leather For sure!

Great Car, but horrible steering
For the past 7 years, I have driven 2008 Nissan Altima and loved the car. So I decided to get the exact same car when I decided to purchase a new vehicle. I wish I had my old car because of the steering on the 2015 model that I purchased. The car drifts from one side of the road to the other and you have to continuously fight the steering wheel. After taking the car to the dealership, they told me that it drift within the normal limit set by Nissan. When did become appropriate to drift across the center line??? The dealership said that the new steering is sensitive and will drift dependent on the makeup of the road. After fighting the steering for only 2000 miles, I'm ready to trade for another car. My advise - think very carefully before purchasing the Nissan Altima. It hard to pick-up on the drift during a 10 minute test drive. After buying the top of the line Altima, I would think Nissan would try to help resolve the problem. No luck!!!

steering vibration, GAS TANK PROBLEM
This car is the worst car I have ever owned. I WILL NEVER, NEVER, BUY NISSAN AGAIN. I have so many problems: LOUD gas sloshing inside the gas tank. It is like driving with a small ocean in the rear of my car. I hear wave of splash side to side, specially, driving on slow speed, slowing down to a stop, putting in reverse. After my car is parked, I still hear the splashing inside the gas tank till it settles ( for a minute or two) I have had vibration to steering wheel, seat, pedal ever since I had my Altima, I was told by my dealership ( MOSSY NISSAN IT WILL GO AWAY IN TIME) what a bunch of bull....! It has not gone away! it only got worst. Gas tank problem, nothing they can do, it is up to Nissan. other problem continues: transmission very noisy, I feel jerking , bouncing while driving on low speed and want to slow down or stop. It makes noises down hill, RRRR noises. I want Nissan to buy this car back. I only have 3,800 miles cannot stand driving this car. it is a piece of junk. I had to give a star to write the review ... it disserve -0

Me vs Edmunds on ONE topic, plus seats.
First off, I AM 6 ft tall, and there is plenty head and leg room in the back seat! I sat in accord and laughed! Perhaps you tested a version with a sun roof, which will, in any car, have a lower roof on the inside. The leg room, nothing but amazing for a 6 ft person, even with the front seats all the way back!

First and last
Bought a Nissan Altima SV on February 2015 with 200 miles on it. Started having issue with it in July 2015. Accelerating and the car would hesitate to move, so I would start it thinking is the accelerator issue. Went to get an oil change on August 2015 and explain to the Representative what the car was doing and he notified me that it was a holiday and they were short handed so bring it back on your next oil change and they will check on it. So a month later goes by and guess what happens the transmission goes out. my car only has 10100 miles on it. will never buy another Nissan again.

2015 Nissan Altima
I just purchased a 2015 SL which is fully loaded. I love the car! With that said the only disappointment I have is with the fuel economy. I previously had a 2003 Nissan Altima 3.5 which was a gas hog. However super fun to drive with take off. The 15 when purchased the millage shown that I had to go when full was well over 400 miles. Now when I fill my car up it only says I can go 318 miles. Is something wrong with my car?
Annoying whining sound
I recently purchased a 2015 Nissan Altima after my 2012 Altima was declared a total loss. A few days after my purchase I started to hear a loud whining sound when walking to my car after using the remote engine start. This noise is so loud that I am even embarassed to use the remote engine start or drive it in my parking garage at work. I took it in to a Nissan dealer and they stated that its normal. This is what gives you that extra gas mileage. But honestly, I would much rather loose the gas mileage and drive a quiet car. This is pretty ridiculous. Not a happy camper!!
l liked this car; just cannot stand the noise
The noise while driving is very aggrevating to me as I've not previously had to deal with this. This altima is my first Nissan vehicle.

Seats are constructed poorly and cheap.
If you are looking for value do not purchase the 2015 Altima SL. I've had mine for 5 months and have returned to dealership 4 times so far for repair of front passenger seat, and yes it's broken yet again, at this point I will have to say I've purchased a LEMON. I plan to contact the media if this is not resolved soon. Leather apparently poorly constructed in back seat beverage holder as well, which came off the first time I pulled it down to use the cup holder. Have not brought that to dealership attention, as I'm still working with getting a passenger seat fixed that keeps popping off it's hinges (very afraid someone may get hurt if I give them a ride.) Nissan Of North America Corporate office hard to reach assigned customer care person assigned to my case... they also are not allowed to give out their last names, only first name 'John'.. Why so private when I've purchased a car with my full name address and social security number on the contract? Stay away from 2015 Altima unless maybe cloth seats. Otherwise rides well. To update my first review: It has now been a year with my 2015 Altima and as of March, I finally went to another dealership for repair of the front passenger seat. This dealership's service department immediately changed out the entire base casing of the seat, which seem to have worked. I believe the entire problem could of been resolved sooner if not for Stone Mountain Nissan service department and the dealership's GM not trying to expend enough money to fix it correctly nor just replace the seat or the car. Sad another dealership (Nissan South of Jonesboro GA) who did not sell me the car was able to mend the problem in one visit. I plan to do business with Nissan South in the future for any further purchases and repairs. 10/28/16 Update on 2015 Nissan Altima SL. After a total of seven (7) repairs of the passenger seat and the second dealership suggesting a total replacement seat in addition with the fear of someone getting hurt in my car making me responsible, I finally with absolutely NO assistance from Nissan of Stone Mountain, nor the Corporate customer care folks from corporate, I traded out the car and took a loss. Please no matter what do not purchase Nissan Altima... seats are defective. I did meet someone who had pretty much the same issue I had but lost touch with her. I owned the car for a total of 14 months begging for help from Nissan... so buyer beware! I was never compensated by NISSAN for my defective seats in my 2015 Altima so for my personal safety I got rid of it and ate the loss by purchasing something else. Again... Buyer beware!

Love the altima butt regret upgrading to the 15
I traded my 14 altima in for a 15. It isn't even a year old and the paint has two chips. I can get over that but when I bought the car I found out it has a stained windshield. After cleaning it numerous times, we reported it to the service bepartment and they have done nothing and suggested nothing. If you buy a brand new car and it is suppose to have a lifetime warranty, you should have a car free of defects.

Still loving our Altima at 25000 miles
My wife and I continue to be pleased with our Altima, now at over 25,000 miles. After looking at several cars of this type (Accord, Camry, Sonata), it seemed like the best value, and it has not disappointed. The responsive 4-cylinder combined with the CVT transmission makes for smooth driving both in town and on the highway -- and the best cruise control system I've ever had. As noted by others, highway mileage is phenomenal at 40+ mpg, and we average close to 30 around town, about 32 or so overall. We live in a hilly area, and the automatic engine braking has been very handy, especially for my wife, who never uses lower gears to save the brakes. Having said that, however, it would be nice to be able to more easily select a lower range for a situation that demands it. The Altima may not be the quietest car of this type, but certainly quiet enough. Both the suspension system and the seats are comfortable without being mushy, and cornering is excellent. My wife is just 5 feet and needs good, high seating for visibility, which the power seat in the Altima does better than any other car of this price that we looked at. (Most others at this price had to be jacked up to raise the seat.) The controls are pretty standard, nothing remarkable, but very functional; I really like having lighted controls on the steering wheel for electronics and cruise. We have the middle electronic system, with Bluetooth and a backup camera but no navigation. The backup camera has nice clear distance indicators to help with backing into a parking space. And the Bluetooth and USB systems work great for our smart phones and iPod. A couple small complaints on the heating and a/c: when I turn off the fan and then turn it on again, the a/c automatically comes on which seems odd. And when we use the defroster and then switch to heat or ventilation, the air conditioning compressor stays on, must be turned off by switching the fan control to full off and then back on. Overall our 2015 Altima has been a truly good value.

2015 Altima
I traded in my 2015 toyota camry hybrid for the altima. The trunk and interior space is rommier. Controls are easier. Ease of getting in and out much better. And the mileage difference is minimal. The only thing better on the toyota was the warranty, but hopefully I wont need that.

Wonderful Altima
If you are tall with long legs, you may have a bit of a problem getting in and out. Otherwise, comfort is fantastic. The interior is very nicely put together. Exterior is wonderful. I would highly recommend this vehicle if you want a decently priced vehicle, reliable, and good looking interior and exterior. I LOVE my Altima!

After 4 years and 90,000 miles: Loving my Altima!
I went out planning to buy a Ford Fusion. I test drove a Fusion, Impala, Accord and Camry. The seats in the Altima were the most comfortable. On long trips it seems to support my back well, and I can drive with no back pain. It handles great, and the gas mileage is amazing! I thought the 38 mpg highway was far fetched, but I've gotten that and better on the highway. If I hold it to about 70 mph I can make 40 or 41 mpg. The 4 cylinder is rated at 180 horsepower, and it seems to have more than enough power. I was unsure of the CVT transmission. It seems odd not to feel the car shifting, but after a short time I decided I like it better. When the radio isn't on you'll sure hear the engine though, but that's the same with all 4 cylinder cars. I'm in Missouri, and it handles the snow pretty well. The bluetooth works great for phone calls. My only problem is I gave it access to my text messages when I set it up. Don't do that! If you get a text people get a rude auto-reply from the car saying I'M DRIVING! You need to turn it off each time the car is started. I can probably fix it by re-installing the app, because it doesn't to that with my son's phone. The sound system is good. I can do pandora or iheart through my bluetooth, or run mp3s off a thumb drive. The only annoying thing is, after Nissan performed a "fix" on a recall issue for the passenger airbag, there is always a light on if there is no passenger. I usually don't notice it but there are times I consider putting black tape over it. I've had the car 4.5 years now and it has been great. Nothing but routine maintenance and tires.

interrior fogging
Winter in NE needs good visibility however my 2015 Altima is horrible with interrior windows fogging. No one seems to know how to prevent. I've been told to run my AC in the winter...really? Usually drive with windows open which is rather cold. Running dedrosters only make the problem worse as i was advised by the dealer. Since there were recalls for this problem in previous years I would think Nissan would find a fix. UPDATE...running AC in the winter helps the fogging issue, however it is just a band aid. $29000.00 for a car and you have to freeze in the winter or not see. This is a safety issue and should be resolved. I also had a 2008 Altima and do not have this issue.

Good value for a good car
Only knock I have with the car is the small rust leaking down the trunk lid. National auto repair shop says the rust is due to a design flaw ( the trim vibrates and cause a breach in the paint).

Love my Altima
I leased this car 2.5 years ago and will be sad to give it back when lease ends. Unfortunately I need cargo space for my large Shepherd. Haven’t had one issue the entire time and rides great. Very comfortable and the SL has everything you could want. I have to say, the Navigation is crap. I use my cell for that. Trunk is huge, mpg is great. Decent acceleration when you step on it at a light. All around MUCH better than the accord I had before it. Very happy with it and would buy it again and again.

Great car with outstanding milage
Attractive styling. Room for five, with very comfortable seating. Fabulous mileage! We get over 40 mpg on the highway, using cruise control. Daily, we get between 32-36 just going 30-40 mph. Haven't had any problems with the car. We did trade it in for a larger suv so we could tow our boat. But every time the gas prices go up I wish we still had it.

Best Car Ive Ever Owned
I am completely and utterly amazed by this car. Compared to my pervious car which was an suv, the altima is extremely comfortable and drives amazingly. It has an extremely quiet cabin, which I'm not used to but I absolutely love. The power is phenomenal. My SUV didn't have any special features and with the altima, I have bluetooth, and push to start which is an added bonus. I have the limited edition therefore I also have the remote car start perfect for the winter! I have absolutely no complaints! I would highly recommend this car to anyone!
