We bought this car around a year ago with 48000 miles on it. I knew Nissans got good mpg and assuming average or above reliability "let" the other half test drive it and she loved the thing. I'm not sure how she's avoided a speeding ticket as this little 2.5 really gets up and goes and seems like you are traveling 20 mph slower. We have aprox. 67000 miles on it now and average over 31 mpg when she drives and 34 mpg when I drive. Last 95 mile road trip I averaged 41.5 mpg!! So far have only had regular maintenance done. No transmission problems like some have reported. Smooth riding and holding on in Indiana.

Eight Nissans in a Row

March 30, 2017, I purchased my NEW 2016 Altima SV Sedan from Morlan Nissan in Dexter, MO. Since 1969, this is my eighth Nissan in a row (two Sentras and six Altimas). My main reason for staying with Nissan cars is their reliability. Over the years, I have several owned vehicles from each of the big three manufacturers and seven cars built by Japan's largest manufacturer. In have found my eight Nissans to be the most reliable, trouble free cars that I have owned. My 1997 Altima had gone more than 130,000 miles without any problems, when I traded it for a new 2001 Altima. In 2010, we gave it to our son, who drove it for four years, without any problems, except normal maintenance. When he traded it, the car had more than 150,000 miles on the dometer. I am now 76 years old and retired on Social Security. My wife and I were looking for a new vehicle that would last us through our retirement years, so when we found this new 2016 leftover at Morlan Nissan, the dealership made us an offer we could not resist.

Transmission went out on a car that is a year and a half old with only 51,000 miles is just unacceptable. I will not purchase another Nissan due to junk cvt transmissions.
Transmission complaints!

Look at complaints from consumers before you buy this car PLEASE. There is a transmission problem with this car. The warranty is for 60,000 miles on this car and believe me that is the length of time your transmission will last. You will be buying another transmission. To top it all off, Nissan will give you the run around. There is a problem with the TRANSMISSION and not a person is recall. This is a LEMON CAR.

2016 Nissan Altima SV - First Month of Ownership

I will say up front that I went with a Nissan primarily because I have a cousin who works at a local Nissan dealership, but I haven't regretted my decision to buy this car. This is the nicest car I've ever owned. I think the SV model could be the best value in an Altima since you get some wonderful safety features (including rear-cross traffic alert and blind spot alerts) along with some nice upgrade options like dual-zone climate control and the power driver's seat with lumbar. Mine also has the navigation package and the sunroof. While I do hear some road and engine noise in this car, I feel it's quiet enough inside because I can have conversations at normal levels. The front seats are amazingly comfortable. As for acceleration, it's a bit slow off the line, but there's plenty of power in the 4-cylinder model for my needs. It feels solidly planted on the road and I feel safe in it. All in all, it looks sharp inside and out -- it has a great Cayenne Red paint job -- and I've enjoyed my time with it. Plus, the gas mileage is terrific. In the past, I've gone about 6-7 days on a tank of gas, but I can go up to 10 days on a tank of gas with this car.
