I Wouldn't Buy One

This car may be good looking but it's a "sheep in wolf's clothing". Recently I rented this car because Altimas always had a very nice look to them. My first impressions - gutless, bulky and with the cheap run-flat tires was noisy and all over the road. It's handling was "boat like" and the automatic transmission left alot to be desired. Before you considering buying one, rent one and decide for yourself. I was less than impressed with it.

This car is so low to ground that the under carriage is unprotected and will cause scraping and repair of the plastic guard. a disaster for winter driving!!!!!

This is the first and last Nissan I have owned. The car stinks after driving it 10 minutes like burnt plastic, it has shut off while driving it causing me to stall in oncoming traffic. The sensor for an obstruction in front of you goes off all the time for no reason. Can not shut off features like automatic locks or the low outside temp at 36°. Problems with the windshield. Getting the car to a Nissan dealership requires me to use vacation time. The closest dealership with service is an hour away and only open normal business hours and service is not open on saturdays.

I had a 2009 Altima. I loved it. Very comfortable and great interior quality. When a deer got depressed and decided to commit suicide on the interstate there wasn’t much of a question as to what car we were getting. We’ve both regretted it nearly every day since. First problem is the “leather” interior is anything but leather. It’s cheap crap. The whole interior feels cheap and plastic unlike the older car. The second gripe is the headlights. I absolutely despise them. Doesn’t matter how they’re adjusted. If you’re in any kind of uneven road it looks to the oncoming traffic like you’re flashing your high beams because of the projector lenses. Get used to people flashing their lights and getting angry. Also unlike the old car we’ve had mechanical issues. I also despise the dealer. In general, I hate this car and have no desire to ever buy anothe Altima.
