Happy Customer

...Solid car so far. Purchased it on 12/31/11 and have put a little over 2000 miles on it.
Averaging 26 mpg combined driving and a respectable 32 mpg on highway.
As previous owner noted, it is simply styled on the inside (mine came without a radio) but very functional with good quality materials and comfortable seats.
This is my first Altima. I'm trying it based on the super great performance and reliability of my Nissan King cab pickup (1987 model) I owned for over 10 years and 225,000 miles.
We like what we have seen so far from the Altima...

Poor quality
Source: Cars.com

..."I have always been a Nissan fan until this car. I have had nothing but problems with this car.
Factory installed moon roof leaks, engine has become sluggish on acceleration even with the recommended premium fuel.Overall quality seems to be going in the opposite direction."...

#3
Most value for the money
Source: Cars.com

..."I bought Altima coupe, 3.5L,6 speed manual and have been driving this for over a year.
It is a real pleasure driving this little car. It has so many features other German cars charge extra for.
Acceleration is incredible and I get about 420 miles on a tank of regular gas, averaging abour 24 miles on combined driving.
I have driven a Boxter, BMW copue and own M-B and prefer driving this one. As for the looks, one can easily mistake this for InfinitiG37 coupe, which is of course made by Nissan."...

Surprised by quality issue
Source: Edmunds

...Good looking car on the inside and out. I've had the car for 3 weeks and have driven 1,050 miles. 2 issues: 1.)According to the MPG information in the dashboard, I'm only getting 25.6 miles per gallon. Since 70% of my miles have been on the highway, I'm surprised at the low mpg. (my 03 maxima got 32mpg on the highway). 2.) When you first drive the car, it makes a gridning noise when shifting (at about 30 MPH). It only happens during the initial driving. After you pass 30 MPH, the sound doesn't happen again...until you turn the car off, start it again, and drive. The car is currently at the...

Great buy for the money

..."I've always been used to having small 2 door cars, both reliable and fun to drive.
after my g/f had a baby we felt the need for bigger safer cars.
She bought Rogue "small SUV" and I got an Altima. Great car, fun to drive, very spacious, handles great, extremely smooth ride and most definitely not bad to look at.
Best buy ever. Not bad on gas either"...

Great car
Source: Edmunds

...I have never had anything major go wrong with it. I have replaced the rad, the alternator, the usual stuff, like ball joints and battery. Last year I did have to change some suspension parts. It was a lot of money, but it has a lot of mileage on it. So far it still has the same exhaust on it. It also has the original struts on the front. It doesn't burn oil. I change it regularly between 5000 and 7000 kms. It is starting to show signs of age though. I am having problems starting it. It still starts, it just takes a couple of cranks. Living in Canada, the salt is starting to take its toll also...
