Built for speeding tickets!

When accelerating pay close attention to the speedometer, you go from 0-Mach50 in seconds. It's hard to go the speed limit. But it does get great mpg and great for having children and car seats. Built for highway not country roads

One Year Update

Purchased this Altima about a year ago. In the past I have owned more up-class vehicles, but I thought I would give this one a try because I live to far from dealers who sell up-class vehicles. The local Nissan dealer offered a lifetime warranty on the drive train and that was my primary reason for the purchase. The Altima was loaded with everything offered for the model but lacked things like memory seats, rain sensing wipers, and lane departure warning. I have discovered the navigation is not up to date and no update is available. I would say this is a little above an average vehicle. Acceleration is acceptable, but noisy as four cylinders tend to be, but fuel economy is in the high 30's, and even going into the low 40's on long trips. The transmission is smooth - one hardly knows it is there. Road noise is about average for a vehicle in this price range. Handling is also about average - not great, but not bad either. Front seating is comfortable with plenty of adjustments for the driver, but not so many for the passenger. Rear seating is about average. There is a huge trunk, but the seat back releases are flawed because they have no way of moving away from the latch when pulling the release. I have put about 13k miles on this Altima with no mechanical issues. That is better than some up-class vehicles I have owned! I believe Nissan builds a quality vehicle that falls short of being really a really great vehicle. Finally, the deal I received from the Nissan dealer was not good and I should have shopped around some more. I suggest you do that before purchasing any vehicle.

Love the car

This car is great, I got it a month ago and still love it. The gas is great in it. The value is up there and still love the Xm radio, knowing it will only cost me $30 a year and love the way the speakers hit hard, when you have a good song on and it has bass. This car will last for a long time for me. Thank you Nissan for building a great car.

If buying this car because there cheap make you sure you have factory warranty or buy extended warranty to cover cvt transmission. Transmission is not the best . Mine went at 43,000 miles after I got the pc upgrade
