I very much like most aspects of the 2019 Altima SV. It's quick, has a lot of technology, very nice styling, and is mostly comfortable. What I don't like is that the ride is very stiff. On asphalt, it floats down the road like the best of them. On rougher surfaces such as poured concrete and older roads, you really feel each bump. When hitting a pothole, of which there are many in the NY/NJ region, there hardly seems to be any absorption of the impact. At first, I thought it may be the tires, but the Continentals that are standard equipment, are supposed to be an absorbent tire. The car is quiet. Engine noise is minimal, even when accelerating hard. Steering is a little bit on the light side. Would like some more road feedback, but it's easy to drive. Cornering is very precise. I like the Pro Pilot Assist feature, especially in stop and go traffic on the highway. It eliminates (or reduces) the possibility of rear-ending the car in front by accident. It also helps keep the car centered in it's lane. Those are great features, especially when feeling fatigued. Overall, I like the car. I like that I don't yet see hundreds more on the roads yet. I wish though that Nissan would find a way to soften and smoothen the ride. Maybe with enough consumer feedback, they will. By the way, this is my fourth Altima. It's definetly a step up from the 2015 I was driving.

Better than Accord or Camry at a cheaper price!!

After my wife totaled our 2017 Hyundai Sonata we spent more than a month looking for a replacement. We drove the Camry (both hybrid and non-hybrid), Accord (hybrid, 1.5t, and 2.0t), Sonata (hybrid and non hybrid), Optima, Legacy, Clarity, and Insight before driving the Altima. When it came right down to it, we found the Altima to be better in all areas, especially simplicity. That may sound strange but most of the cars rely too much on touch screen and menus that take too much attention away from driving. The people who complain about the CVT transmission may no realize that the Accord has already switched to CVT and the 2020 Camry is also slated to be CVT. I have owned several CVT cars and while it does take some getting used to but it operates just fine! The 19" wheels on the Platinum trim we got make handling and traction great and we are thoroughly happy with the car!! We worked 3 dealerships against each other and ended up getting the car for $10,000 off dealer sticker including a lifetime power train warranty.

I have had nothing but issues since I purchased my Altima in Feb of 2019. All my door locks have had to be replaced (they wouldn't lock or unlock unless I reached in to do so myself). The driver side lock wouldn't unlock when in park or engine turned off. Setting adjustments were made and they still were not successful. Three months after I purchased the car I kept hearing a loud click noise when I would back out of any parking spot. Dealership could not find anything wrong except for some loose bolts and they oiled the axle. Noise went away, but shortly returned. After multiple returns to dealer, they decided it was my rear shocks and replaced them. After speaking to the manager of the service dept, he finally told me it was my ABS and that it was normal to hear that noise. After getting my car back from shocks, the noise is now louder and more frequent. Not only when backing out of spot, it is now everytime I turn steering wheel. I am going out of my mind!!! I am so upset with what is going on and the dealer is just playing a guessing game.
I LOVE my Altima!!

I have had a Dodge Durango that I really liked and just sold my 2009 Rogue that I absolutely loved but NOTHING tops this Altima. It is so luxurious on the inside and literally drives like a sports car. I really love the way the steering wheel feels like a sports car. The car is extremely tight and drives like a charm. I really love this car and would recommend it over and over again!
I'm in love

Since purchase on October 31st 2018 -car has been in shop for the same issue several times. When riding over bumps there is a loud banging noise coming from rear underneath of car. Rear passengers really feel the bang. A Nissan representative went out to dealership to investigate and report back to his team. Issue cannot be resolved. Car was dismantled and put back together piece by piece and tested each time and still bangs. Sent letter to Nisssn to offer one more chance to fix before filing lemon law.

Too many issues with this car. Problem 1, the car wouldn't connect to ANY device a week after driving it off the lot. Field maintenance rep from head quarters had to come out to fix it. Problem 2, remote isn't responding to car. I could literally be a couple feet from my car and no response. They replaced batteries, checked settings and reprogrammed remote but still having issues. This biggest issue. Occasionally, I am not able to get in or out the driver side door (5 occurrences). Vehicle will unlock, but door will not completely unlatch. Extreme safety hazard. I was initially turned away because "issue could not be duplicated" ( I have 2 videos of me struggling to open the door) After a little push back, finally something is being done. Currently waiting for an actuator to be delivered. Now I have to go back up there AGAIN for the remote. Yesterday while driving error message said remote not detected....it was sitting in the cup holder!!!!!!! I'm over this car. I really don't want it anymore give me my 2015 Altima back!!! Possible lemon!!???

This care is SO close to perfect! Missing items...WIFI capability, and you can only use the Nissan Connect App for remote start etc IF you purchase the Premium Package...which is just asinine. If a vehicle has remote start you should be able to access an app to utilize remote start. The car is really amazing other than those two issues. CVT shifts like a dream, handling is tight and the safety features alone make this a great car for me! The first day I had it, the driver in front of me slammed on their brakes, this car recognized what was happening before I even did and initiated the anti-lock brake system, alarms went off, and I was able to stop prior to an accident occurring! Ground clearance is perfect. I haven't tapped a curb or scraped the street when exiting a steeply graded parking lot, which is more than I can say for the Chevy Malibu that I owned previously..that car, oh man THAT car was not an enjoyable ride AND it got terrible milage. The Altima...39mpg on the highway, and they're not kidding!

My 2019 stinger was in the shop for 5 days and I was given a 2019 altima base model with 18000 miles on it already. The darn thing drove like it only had 1000 miles. So smooth and quiet. Very stable feeling, quiet cabin. I'm a big guy and my legs are on the seat bolsters and its an odd feeling. Not sure I like that. Very skinny people probably fit entirely on the seat bottom. Seat back felt wonderful. Entry and exit was easy. The 4 banger was very quiet. Much quieter than my 2017 optima. And that cvt. Wow they really have that dialed in. I'm not sure if its intentional but I noticed when I accelerate gently from a stop, the rpms will go to 1800 and stay there all the way up to 65 mph. It's like driving an electric car. No noises, no jolts, no vibrations. Just smooth acceleration. Then if I stepped on it, the transmission pretended to have gears. It would hold a ratio so the rpms raised like a normal trans then you would feel a (fake) shift. Today I returned it and got my stinger back. And let me tell you that cvt trans in the base altima makes my stinger with 8 speed trans feel like it's from the stone ages. Now I feel like a car that shifts is behind the times. I will be looking at Altima when my stinger lease is up thats for sure.
Would really like to give it a 4.5 stars

I occasionally drive her car and every time I am a little more impressed. For $35k, it is a very nice car. Quiet, comfortable seats (and I'm a big guy!), great stereo/infotainment system (I have a Tacoma Off Road and the nav system SUCKS compared to this Nissan) and BANGIN gas mileage. I can get 32mpg around town with this thing. My 2 critiques are 1) I wish you could get the 18inch wheels with the platinum package for better snow performance and 2) I really wish the turbo was available with the AWD version. This is about 80% the car my Genesis G80 was at half the price. Good job Nissan!

32 of 39 people found this review helpful
This has been the worst purchase I have ever made. I traded the car in after 1 year and 8 months and it has 31k miles on it. The only good thing to come out of this car was the MPG. Highway I would get upwards of 35mpg and overall average with about 35 miles highway and 15 miles city I averaged about 32mpg. So not bad but man where do I start?! Everyone knows about Nissans issues...they don’t make the most reliable cars and I really wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt. Despite the major depreciation you’ll get from buying a Nissan, get ready to have it be in the shop for issues on top if issues. My issues were: 1. Transmission slipping/stalling (15k and 21k miles) 2. Turbo had issues 3. Volume knob issues 4. Volume knob issues after repair 5. Remote start not working 6. Door locks not working 7. Rear suspension metal on metal sound 8. Static coming from behind the touch screen 9. Touch screen blacking out Best part was Nissan didn’t want to help me with the situation. I traded that thing in for an Acura. Stay away from Nissan. Stick with Toyota or Honda. I’ll never buy a Nissan ever again in my entire life.

After 2 years with this car it’s time to update my review. My odometer is currently sitting at 27,383 miles. *So far* this is what’s wrong with it. The radio system randomly freaks out and won’t play any sound whatsoever, and sporadically won’t connect to Bluetooth, or to Apple Play. My front windshield has cracked from under a seal - in the middle of the night in mild weather. I came out to my car to find a crack going across half the windshield. The front window on the driver’s side also randomly exploded in the middle of the night a few months after my windshield inexplicably cracked; again, very mild weather and there’s no reason this should have happened. In August the driver’s side air went out. In October the passenger side air also went out. As of yesterday, something smells like it’s burning when I turn the heat on. None of this has been fixed except for my driver’s side window because Nissan wants my car for several or possibly longer days just to diagnose what’s wrong. I have to work; I cannot just hand my car over for days at a time. This will absolutely be my last Nissan. I’ve had one problem after another with this car. If it keeps breaking at this rate it won’t even run in 3 years time. Original review - This is my 2nd Altima. I went from a 2014 SV to a pearl white 2020 SR, and I’m extremely happy with it. I gave up some technology features going with the SR, but I also gained some. I’m glad to be rid of the navigation system in the SV most of all; that was the most annoying feature I’d **ever** had on a car, and I’ve had lots of cars. I usually ended up using my phone so I wouldn’t be told 37 times in 40 miles that I needed to turn right. This model has blind spot warning sensors and a bunch of other alarms, and with having a new driver in the family on the road, I feel a a bit better about her being in the road in this car over the SV. I almost went with another car manufacturer due to a better warranty, but it rode like a potato wagon. I got in this Nissan and there it was again - the smooth ride I’d become accustomed to in the 2014 SV, possibly even more so. I don’t find the 18” Hankook tires to ride rough at all, as some other reviewers did. I do find the radio gadgets on the screen to be a bit difficult to navigate and distracting, but ease of use will come in time, like it did with the SV. Overall I’m extremely pleased with the purchase.

This is a fun car to drive and to look at. I 've had the car 3 months and no complants. Love the way it shifts if you accelerate a little and no shift if you don't . Love the paddle shifters, the safety features , and the smooth ride. It also has good acceleration ( 188 hp ) and great gas millege. The car I bought is pearl white with black seats with red stitching , very cool and comfortable . It also has 19 inch wheels and low profile tires , never had them before and they ride great.

I purchased a new 2019 Altima a month ago (8/19). I get great gas mileage (43mpg) on the highway--the most I have ever had in all of the cars I have owned. The interior is nice and roomy and can easily seat 5 people. It has 2 USB ports for the back passengers to connect their devices to. I absolutely HATE the continuously variable transmission in it. It jerks when going below 20 miles an hour. I barely raise my foot up from the pedal and it jerks either forward or feels like I have just lost all power. The front seats are very short. (the seat part) the seats could be a little longer to support the legs more. Where the back interior meets the back window seems very high and makes it harder to see what is coming up along side of the car when glancing back. The remote keyless entry doesn't always work by pressing the button on the handle even when the keys are 6 inches away.The car was priced reasonable. That is why I bought it, but I will not be buying another Altima. It is cheaply made.

I traded in my 2015 altima for the new redesign which the Altima needed. With an aggressive redesign outside and the amazing handling and needed power from the 2.0 turbo it feels more like a sports car than a sedan. Power when needed for changing lanes or passing up others on the highway. I have a long commute to and from work everyday and like having a 4 cylinder for gas mileage but with the turbo it’s nice to have the option for more power whenever I want or need. This car has everything from a great Bose system and touchscreen for all of my apps with hands free communication with SIRI. It’s a sedan with a sports car feel which makes it fun to drive.

Since having my 2019 Nissan Altima Platinum,I have been extremely disappointed with the CVT Transamission. The car jerks on speeds lower than 10 miles per hour. It is enough to give someone whiplash. If this isn't corrected no more Nissan Altimas for me in the future! Brought it back for service and was told this is "normal" for Nissan's CVT.

I took delivery of my car in Dec 2018, this is my second winter here in upstate NY. Upstate like in Rochester. This car is awesome in the weather. I read the reviews posted here and wonder what these folks are talking about. You get what you pay for. This car is quite sporty to drive, gets great fuel economy and is sharp to look at. The comfort is wonderful for a car this price. I have been treated well by my dealer, this is my sixth Nissan. Same dealer. It’s safe, easy to drive, great on a trip, my only complaint is I wish the back seat had more leg room. I am very satisfied with this car, however the radar for this car fails when there is rain or snow. I also have radio issues which the dealer has failed to correct. All and all it has been a good vehicle. I doubt if I will continue to do business with Nissan. When this lease is completed I will move on. We bought the car when the lease expired. My best money move on a car in years. It still runs great and it’s nimble on the road.

(2019 Nissan Altima 2.5S) Brought the car brand new in December of 2018. The body style of the car is great, seats are very comfortable for long rides. The flaws of the car are at 20,XXX miles had to put a new radio in the car because the radio would flash on and off. The radio would disconnect my calls and hang up while on important phone calls and the screen would freeze so you couldn’t do anything on it at all. The door lock actuators quit working had to replace them. Had all of this work done to the car had everything working again like it was when I brought it and now all of it is starting all over again. The door lock actuators are messing up again. The radio is back flashing on and off and disconnecting phone calls. It won’t even let you answer the phone from the steering wheel controls. Satellite radio isn’t working correctly now and I even had a refresher signal sent to the car from SiriusXM and it still is doing the same thing. The paint is starting to peel off the car and I wash it at home with a garden hose. First new car I’ve brought and will be the very last new Nissan I buy. I feel like I wasted my money.

I just purchased a 2019 altima SL and it is very noisy underneath. You hear every little thing that the tires pick up and hit the undercarriage. I have owned altimas since 2008 and have never heard such loud noises coming from underneath. I think that it needs insulation or some type of noise deadening.

Didn't hate it, but didn't love it

I was given an Altima as a rental after my Rogue was totaled by a drunk driver. As the title says, I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it, either. I'm sure it's nice for some people, but it's just not for me. To start, the vehicle exterior looks amazingly high end. The curves are sleek, and the molding enhances the overall look. The trunk is quite large, which I appreciated as I shop for groceries only once per month. I was able to fit five 24 packs of beverages, plus the month's worth of grocery items with no problem. No one sat in the backseat, but it was very roomy to me. The front seating is more confining compared to the Rogue. Since the Altima is on the larger side, I was surprised by the lack of leg room. It also sits pretty low to the ground, which make it hard to get in and out of if you have any type of physical impairment. I had difficulty with spacial awareness while driving this car. I was never sure where I was in relation to road lines or parking spots. The backup camera aided me in reversing, which was helpful, unsurprisingly. I liked having the proximity sensors and the push button start. The Altima also had remote start, convenient for winters in the Mid Atlantic. The speakers sounded great from the radio. It offered Bluetooth connectivity, and I was heard clearly on calls. I was never able to sync my Android Auto, but that could have been user error. I hated the radio controls, as it was quite distracting. The tuner button, when turned clockwise, tuned into stations in descending order, as opposed to ascending. If a station not in the pre set needed to be changed, you had to pick the station using the FM Menu button, and the listing was not all inclusive. If touched incorrectly, the list would scroll instead of select. Gas mileage was good at 35+ mpg. Unfortunately the gas gauge reading was off, just like in my Rogue. Gas consumption seemed to increase once the gauge fell below half a tank, especially so at a quarter tank. The gauge was almost in the orange, but stated on the middle display I could travel 130 miles. Handling was great, and the car rode well. The cabin kept out the road noise. The CVT was quiet. No bangs or rattles in the cold, during acceleration, or on the highway. The car had decent pickup during acceleration, but it lost all power when you took your foot off the accelerator. My biggest complaint is the headlights. The low beams were abysmal. They only provided illumination for about 30 feet before hitting an abrupt pitch black wall. The high beams were average. All in all, it wasn't a bad car, just not my cup of tea.

This 2019 Altima 2.5 SL drives nicely and soft on 17 inch wheels. 2.5L engine has a sufficient power. CVT transmission works fine. Though, in my opinion, it substantially lacks driving dynamics and pleasure of the automatic transmission with gears. Steering is precise and on-center. Brakes work very well. Navigation system is simple, but intuitive and entry commands are easy. Bose audio system sounds OK for this vehicle segment, but nothing extraordinary. Trunk space is adequate. Rear seats are comfortable and visibility is good. Heated steering wheel is an incredible feature. Once you try it, you will never want to get the car without it. These are the good things about this vehicle and now are the shortcomings. Front passenger seat is awfully uncomfortable. The seat cushion does not go up nor down, nor does it recline. It feels like you are sitting flat on the floor. There is no lumbar support. Long drives are very uncomfortable and unpleasent. Please remember this is one of the top trims of this vehicle. There is no ventilation for front seats and rear seats are not heated. Interior is very dim at night time as there are no LED interior lights and regular bulbs with foggy lenses do not provide a good illumination. The buttons for the lights feel cheap and loose. Tail lights are not LED neither and their illumination is dim and out of date. Headlights are LEDs, but their range is short and visibility is marginal. Ford Fusion, Honda Accord and Mazda 6 offers all the above mentioned features for about the same price. The infotainment screen is not tilted towards the driver and it is hard to see sometimes with sun glare. Also it is destructive to reach to the screen every time you need to change anything as there is no separate controller knob like in Mazda. Climate control for some reason does not maintain the set temperature. The interior materials look and feel cheap, especially on the door panels. Front doors rattle when you close them and dashboard speaker covers are misaligned. The sunroof size is very small. In my opinion, there are many shortcomings and cost saving signs. They are very visible, not attractive nor they are comfortable.

This is the best car I have ever owned, and I have owned bran New Lincoln, bran new Malibu x 2, bran New Monte Carlo x 2, and a new Taurus. I love the handling and performance, zip a pep and comfort. I love the look!!! I have the Sunset Orange, which is awesome looking. I have zero complaints. I love cars, and I have to look at my car and say "I love it!". So glad I chose the 2019 Altima SR sport model.

I love this 2019 nissan Altima SV. I have neck and back pain 24/7. The seats are very comfortable. The 2 tone inside feels sophisticated and the driving aides help so much. Most of my driving is 330 miles every other weekend. I only have 10 minutes of in town then on 1 road for the remainder of the trip. It is very sporty feeling when driving. The fuel mileage is great already at 39 mpg. Very smooth ride. The dealership Headquarter Nissan is the best. The salesman Jamie Crowder is respectful and not pushy. He always makes time for you. I don't get out much but am excited to drive when I do get out.

That’s my third Altima and it’s great , inside has great update from previous version , Vc turbo so far great , ride might be stiff but 19” and Hankook tires make it feel like that, tires are not great, Nissan should install Michelin tires since car is top level , storage inside is very small, would like to see little bigger glove compartment , feels smaller inside from previous version but all finishes are compensating for that. Overall car is great .

From an 2016 Accord to a 2019 Altima (So Far)

I leased the '19 Altima SL after my '16 Accord EX-L lease expired, so I am comparing it against the Accord that I drove for 3 years. PROS: Stylish exterior, comfortable interior, gas mileage good so far (>30 MPG), lots of safety technology that I didn't have on the Accord, Bose stereo which is an upgrade over what I had before, navigation system which I didn't have before, good trunk room, great A/C. CONS: It feels a little smaller, probably because of the car's shape. I'm not sure I fully trust the "Pro Pilot" driving assist yet, there isn't as much interior storage as there was in the Accord (smallish glovebox + center console storage and that's it). In fairness, I've only had the car for 2 weeks so I can't speak to reliability yet. I might have preferred another Accord, but the 2019 models are not leasing well. I saved about $55-60/mo. by going with the Altima and don't regret that decision.

The system shut down completely and reset by itself. After 30 - 60 mins, the system was back on automatically, and there is warning message showing on the dashboard "Malfunction". This happened three times to me already, but the dealership told me that they cannot reproduce the issue and there was not error codes or logs recorded in the system. The car has been setting in the dealership for 10 days. Nissan told me that they will send a Field Engineer to the dealership to check the issue. Let's see what will happen.

I bought this car back in April and traded in my piece of junk Ford Focus that had the worst transmission I have ever seen! With that said this new Nissan Altima has been a dream, they say the gas mileage it should get 36mpg highway well i took a trip to North Carolina from Pennsylvania and got a whopping 43 mpg! With a 16 gallon tank that's about 600 miles in one tank. The seats are the most comfortable I have ever sat on and I literally feel very little when it comes to bumps on the road. So far I'm absolutely in love with this car and consider it my best car purchase in years! UPDATE: Year 1 I got 19,000 miles on it now and still runs as good as the day I bought it I will update again on year 3! Well year 3 with 28,000 miles and still no issues Nissan did a good job with these Altimas I would highly recommend them!

This car ride sooooo smooth!! Im shocked how much tech this car has for the money and is wayyyy better then any Honda today!!! Unlike Honda that has to put turbos in everything just to make there cars go zoom zoom Nissan has a great 2.5L that puts out great power and MPG at the same time!! The seats are the most conferrable on the market by far.. the Hondas and Toyota feel like youre sitting on a piece of wood with some cloth wrapped around it... I would recommend this car 10000X over to anyone looking for a new car!!!

Android auto skips and car rattle

I had a 2019 altima which I sold to get a 2021 honda Accord hybrid. That made me think as to why did I ever get the Nissan Altima Almost similar pricingz there is really no need to get this vehicle. The android auto skips all the time and there is still no fix for it. There is a constant rattle when it's cold weather . Awd is just a psychological thing. Fwd would just do fine

I purchased my silver sv Altima on 4/14/2019, was worried about the problems of cvt of previous models. But the car doing very well, just I hope Nissan update the 8 inch screen software which is looking boring. For example u can't change the background wallpaper.

I saw the styling of this car and was really wanting it. I finally saved up enough money to get the model I wanted and to get the features that I wanted. I was expecting this car to be my favorite car but after having this car for a few weeks i now realize how cheaply built this car is. I did not notice how cheap the plastic was on the dash and center console it looks like cheap plastics from economy cars of the early 90s. Next I noticed how hard this car shifts into reverse. The Tech in the car is great when it works. I get this notice on the dash just about everyday about the lane keep assistance is not operating. The camera resolution is horrible you can barely see out of the back up camera. If Nissan would have better build quality I would buy another one but if they continue to cheap out then this will be my last Nissan. My friend has a 19 Kia Optima and the build quality is so much better and at times I wish I would have gotten that over this car.

Drive a 2011,2013,2017& now a 2019. So far the 19 is my favorite the instrumentation is much improved. The menu is more navigable. The audio display is much improved but the camera is not as clear while backing. Fuel mileage is great and must be due to the new design on the front end. The cruise control switches are much more responsive then any of the previous models and displays the set speed. The things I dislike in the first 1000 miles. The front seats are uncomfortable. Seems like the seat cushions are more narrow than previous models and the seams can be felt flexing when you hit a bump. The wide zero gravity foam in the 2013 & the 2017 are far more superior. It's a shame to see Nissan revert back to such an uncomfortable pair of front seats. Steering wheel has a flat spot at the bottom of it and takes some getting use to. Side mirrors are smaller and oddly shaped. Makes for less rearward line of sight. Washer pump doesn't even have enough pressure to hit the middle of the windshield. Seems like the fuel tank is smaller if not the ability to completely fill the tank is not possible. I drive over 50-k miles a year, so I spend a lot of time in these cars. I don't expect the front seats to last past 20-k before they break down due to how narrow they are.

Do not buy a Nissan. They are prone to CVT transmission problems and Nissan does not support their products. I have an Altima, and along with thousands of other Nissans, it is experiencing the chronic CVT problems associated with these vehicles. Nissan is ignoring this problem and is letting me drive around in an unsafe vehicle and is not willing to cover a dime for the near $6000 repair.
The joy of driving my new Altima

I love the looks of the car, and the soft, comfortable drive. Visibility is good too, however, there is an annoying, distracting issue while driving where you can see the reflection of the lines of the road on the driver's side view mirror. The part that attaches the side view mirror to the door is painted in a high gloss which reflects the lines on the road!! I've also been to the dealer 3 times, 1 for fitment issue, 2 for a dead battery! The speaker grill on the passenger side doesn't snap in all the way, checked several other Altima's on the dealer lot, some fit, some don't, poor quality control! Even the replacement grill didn't fit, had to super glue it. The most annoying issue is if my car door was open without the engine for 5 minutes or so, my battery died! My first trip to the dealer, they replaced the key fob battery which was total BS, car died on me 4 times. Even after the BS key fob battery change, my car died and I wound up at the dealer the following day in which they replaced the car battery. It's been ok since, but I noticed I was cleaning the interior of the car, and after 10 minutes with the car doors open, interior light off, the dash flickered with some wacky errors so I started the car up right away. There's definitely bugs in this vehicle. I'm prepared that I may get stuck again with a dead battery at some point because there is surely an electrical glitch. Overall, it's a beautiful car, but bugs galore

This is my second car and second Altima at that. I love Nissan! This car is a very great car, very stylish, love the big touch screen for music and navigation and more. I had a 2005 Altima before this and it had over 230k miles before someone hit me and totaled it. It was never a problem for me and never left me on the side of the road. I bought it in 2014 with 1 owner with only 130k miles. The only bad thing about my 2019 Altima is the terrible blind spot it has compared to my 2005. It has many safety features though which I love. The car also seems less powerful than the 2005, but I did get the AWD. Would recommend.

The car is pretty good, but the technology in the car could be better. For instance the steering wheel buttons do not work as advertised all the time. Nissan was not very helpful with getting this resolved with as little inconvenience to me as possible.

I traded in a German car for a Nissan Altima, I was looking for the safety of the all wheel drive in bad Midwest winters. While the car drives fine and the all wheel drive adds a sense of safety 6+ months a year, the craftsmanship of the car is severely lacking. The foam where the windshield meets the dash board is "leaking" out and looks really sloppy. Various plastic pieces are not smooth and you can feel jagged edges where plastic pieces are clearly not "finished". The seats are smaller than I'm accustomed to, but still comfortable. Another odd thing, the car did not come with floor mats pre-installed - I was told this was standard, but I've never heard of a car coming without mats. The CVT is annoying at best and gets worse when the weather is cold. The car also has several quirks I won’t bother to mention. The Altima is a decent car, but I would not buy it again.
