Disappointed & Regretful

My fault for being 'talked into' buying this car. I don't like it. The price is too high for the features -- or lack of. I am currently on a road trip visiting family in another state and found out there are NO REAR SPEAKERS in my car! I couldn't understand why they weren't playing and when I arrived, my brother and I looked in the trunk and he said there's no wiring and we could see air space where the speakers are supposed to be. I don't know if there's supposed to be rear speakers or not (what car wouldn't??) but will definitely find out when I return home after the holiday! I have been disappointed from the start and horribly regret signing the contract! Note: I love Altimas. I just do not like the base model not the price they charge for it. Please look and consider all models til your feet fall off before you sign any papers! UPDATE: I've had the Altima for 1 1/2 yrs now. Hwy mileage is great! Driving in town I only get about 16 miles per gal. It says its getting more and it tracks how many miles are left before empty, but by the time I drive six miles it uses twice the amount of gas than it says it has left. And I understand starting & stopping plays a major factor in it. I wish I had just put money towards my Honda Accord. Very regretful.

This is a spacious, comfortable sedan that handles great and has truly excellent fuel economy. The technology features are outstanding and very user friendly. I honestly love everything about this car. I've had it for about a month, and no complaints to report. Accelerates well off of stops, doesn't feel cramped with passengers, and has ample trunk space. I had a great experience with the Nissan dealer that I worked with to purchase the car, and will be taking it back to them for routine maintenance like oil changes and such. This car gets better gas mileage than my old hybrid! This has been a fantastic car so far for commuting, but would be very comfortable for longer trips as well. Would definitely recommend the Nissan Altima.

I was driving an Xterra and got tired of fueling it up so often. I also needed something that my ageing mother could get in and out of with ease. I bought my 2016 2.5 S a year and a half ago, and it currently has 14,800 miles on it. I had custom wheels put on it to set it apart from all the other 2.5 S's out there. The gas mileage is unbelievable. I'm averaging 30 mpg in town and have gotten 41 mpg on the highway. This car is comfortable. I was concerned about comfort because I a big guy, 6'2" 300 lbs. I've never felt cramped in this car. It's pretty zippy and handles well. It does sit pretty low. The air-conditioning and heat are great. The stereo is ok. The Bluetooth and voice commands seem to be a miss. It takes a bit for my phone to connect and hands free calling rarely works for me, no matter how clearly I say someone's name. I'd like a place to stash my phone, other than the cup holders. Over all I'm very satisfied with my little red Altima
