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

This is an exceptional car for the money, many safety and technology features that are usually available only on much higher priced vehicles. Ride, comfort and handling are outstanding. Styling tweaks from the 2015 Altima make this model look sportier.
