I expected the ride to be more comfortable,because I had leased an Altima last year and it was fine and comfortable . Totally disappointed and I may not keep the care for that long if the comfort level and the ride comfortness does not get any better.

Traded my 2014 Pathfinder for the 2018 Altima SR midnight edition. I absolutely love my Altima.

DO NOT BUY A NISSAN!

DO NOT BUY THIS VEHICLE! Spend the couple extra thousand dollars to buy a Sonata, Accord, or Camry. The transmission is horrible. I have spent more time at the dealership trying to figure out the problem than I have actually driving it! They put a recording device on my car after they couldn't find the problem, and the problem stopped. Come to find out, the device is made by the same company that manufactures the transmission! I think that device actually fixed the problem. As soon as it was taken off, the problems started again. Not only that, when you press the brakes, the car does some type of rolling thing before it actually stops. It is hard to explain. It does not stop like a regular car. The only thing good about this car is the gas mileage. They lose their value so bad that you will be upside down until you almost pay it off. Skip Nissan alltogether.

For 30 years, I only buy Nissan cars because I want dependability first. Haven't been disappointed yet.

Worse car ever

I drove one of these as a rental car with less than 5,000 miles on it and the transmission was already clunking and making a buzzing sound when accelerating. Engine has decent power but the transmission is garbage (like all nissans). The interior isn’t horrible but nothing compared to a Toyota or Honda. It drives like an older car in terms of handling. I recommend you stay away from these cars. DO NOT BUY NISSANS!!!!! Save yourself time and money in the long run. Buy a Toyota or Honda
