Perfect rental car. I got one for 5 days. Lots of driving. Only had to fill the tank while returning. Outstanding economy for a gas car. The CVT will always be unnerving for someone used to traditional shifts. But I also noticed that the engine RPM was actually below 2k even while cruising at 80. (no wonder it achieves the fuel economy that it does)

@corybureau4124 6 месяцев назад

i think the Altima offers the sportiest appearance out of the 3 mid sized sedans and that is a huge selling factor especially considering Nissan fixed their CVT issue, but at the end of the day it's still a Nissan, and the Accord/ Camry is the best value for the buck. the Honda Civic Hatchback Sport Touring (which isn't really in the same class as this sedan. ) is about the same size, has a sportier appearance, proven reliability, better handling, and best tech for a little less $$. truly depends on what you're looking for.

sure, but if you look around you still see Y2K Altimas on the road. as long as you change your oil, and what most people don't do SERVICE THE CVT, you can get a good 200K miles out of an Altima before major issues arise. that being said the best value for your money when you're looking at Altimas is going to be the SR AWD w/ premium package. (12in infotainment, bose audio, and upgraded leather sport seats.) about $34.5K out the door. @@ronch550

@slump45 7 месяцев назад

I had a base model Altima as a rental and it was so much better than expected, seats were so comfortable and the CVT was the best CVT I’ve ever driven and I’ve driven Honda and Toyota CVTs which are much more reliable. The transmission was so quick and responded almost instantly and the car itself was pretty quick. It had a nice sound from the engine and great standard features. Pretty comfortable too. Overall I see why people buy these

I have the SR trim and It feels like not enough is mentioned about how nimble and planted it feels with the sport tuned suspension. It might not be the fastest sedan out there but it's damn fun to drive on curvy roads. Although you have to accept the fact that with 19 inch wheels and stiffer suspension it's not the most plush ride but you trade that for a surprisingly fun car to drive.
