Not for snowy conditions

When considering purchasing this vehicle be aware that you may not have a vehicle to use if it snows. The Altima is by far the worse car we have ever owned for driving in the snow. We attempted to get new tires but the guy at the tire store told us it would not make a difference. I have owned many cars and this one is the worse and we are stuck in it because the value went down by half in just over a year!

I really like my Altima. I will say the interior was downgraded from the 2014 year model. Had wood like trim that has been replaced with black and silver appearance. Beyond that I love the comfort. Seats are great. We took a 2000 mile trip and never felt uncomfortable. Gas mileage is terrific. On the highways close to 40 mpg. My lease is almost up and I plan on getting another Altima.

Drive more than one make of car and you will see that the Altima is worth buying.I drove four other brands and chose the Altima for ride comfort,performance and looks.

I should have test driven vehicle on the highway ay 70mph. Would not have purchased it. Road, engine and wind sounds are terrible. Stay away from Nissan.. High mpg and rebates are a trap, they have cheated on the quality. Had trans rebuilt at 35000, no loner car from dealer. Took over a week to rebuild. Still own it in 2021.great gas mileage but noisier. Never will buy another Nissan.
