I am not new to Nissan. I have always loved Nissan's... Then I went and did a dumb thing and bought this 2018 Altima and OMG... I am SOOOOO mad at myself... Seats are frustratingly uncomfortable..20 miles in and my feet are numb and my back hurts. steering and handling is so poor that I swore up and down the struts or rack n pinion is bad... IT'S NOT. The ride is rough and loud... witch you should be able to cover the road noise by turning on the stereo but unfortunately Nissan has left a lot there too be desired as well... sound system is horrid. Majorly lacking in the technology category. The car has a SQUISHED down and stretched out look to it and these wheels seem to be too small for the car. The mirrors, rearview and side, all throw some very bright head lights in your face from traffic behind you at night.. I think Nissan must have had a pile of old 80's mirrors laying around somewhere and used them on these Altimas. The price is not great either. Big enough price tag that Nissan could have thrown us a bone with a little meat on it. The breaks dont stop the car right and they started to SQUEAL 2 days in. It puts itself in hill assist mode when on flat ground, the front radar constantly beeps at you and then says its unavailable because it's obstructed. The entire inside of the car lights up RED when you turn on the lights except for the speedometer area. Why red? It also is equipped with manual mode but no easy to shift... leave the manual mode out. Why do we have to pay for that if it can't be used. Roomy inside, big trunk, remote start... are all the good things..

2018 Altima 's An Ultimate Drive

Based on features, my Altima is the ultimate driving enjoyment. I have almost every gadget a car of that year could have to make it a fun ride. On cold days, the heated steering wheel and seats keep you warm as the heater and defroster roast you out. AC works well as the heater. radio systems work well also. I enjoy the pickup power that the engine provides as well as how well it responds. I was able to avoid a serious accident as a result of how it responded to the serious situation. I am well pleased with the body style, the handling and performance of the car.
