2012 Nissan Altima Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...This is most evident in the backseat, which is reasonably comfortable for adults thanks to cutouts in the front-seat backrests that provide extra knee room. The front bucket seats are comfortable, but our test car's cloth upholstery didn't look that great in Blond (light tan). The whole interior was finished in drab shades of tan, in fact, which made me wish for the Charcoal (black) color scheme. That said, cabin materials still rate well, and the controls are easy to use. The trunk measures 15.3 cubic feet, which is respectable for this class, but Nissan created a less-than-ideal method of... |

2012 nissan altima Professional Edmunds ReviewSource: Edmunds...a 3.5 sedan went from zero to 60 mph in 7 seconds, while the 3.5 coupe did the same sprint in 6.7 seconds with the CVT and 6.5 seconds with the manual. EPA numbers for the 3.5-liter V6 are 20/27/23 mpg for the CVT and 18/27/21 mpg for the manual. Safety: Every 2012 Nissan Altima comes standard with antilock brakes, stability and traction control, front seat side-impact airbags and side curtain airbags that cover both rows. In Edmunds brake testing, most Altimas regardless of body style came to a stop from 60 mph in about 130 feet, a number that's a bit longer than average for the category. In... |

1993 Nissan Altima Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...Legroom for rear passengers also drew praise. The trunk is spacious for a small car. Loading and unloading is easy because the lip of the trunk lids extends down to the bumper. That way, you don't have to lift cargo into the trunk; it slides in at bumper height. The test car came with an interesting innovation: heads-up display or ''HUD.'' The vehicle's speed is projected on the lower left portion of the windshield in bright digital numbers. With HUD, the driver need not takes his eyes off the road to read the car's speedometer. Altima's HUD also displays the turns signals and the car's... |

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety did not test the 2011 Nissan Altima Coupe and, although the 2011 4-door Altima sedan got a thorough “once-over” by the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA), the Coupe underwent only a rollover test for last year, receiving a perfect 5 stars, with only a 9.3% chance of a rollover.While individual options can be added to the 2012 Altima Coupe (foglights, rear deck spoiler or the Blueconnect Bluetooth hands-free phone system to name a... |

1993 Nissan Altima Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...in the doors smaller and reposition the power-window controls elsewhere to provide more thigh room.) Altima is built on a 103.1- inch wheelbase and is 180.5 inches long. Considering that the Honda Accord, a true midsize model, is built on a 107.1-inch wheelbase and is 185.2 inches long, in our opinion the Altima is a compact like the Chevrolet Corsica, which is built on a 103.4-inch wheelbase and is 183.4 inches long. The Altima is far more attractive than the nondescript Stanza, thanks in part to a deck-lid spoiler. But with its new aero look you`d be hard-pressed to distinguish an Altima... |

1996 Nissan Altima OverviewSource: CarGurus
...The 1996 Nissan Altima, which was quickly becoming one of Nissan's best-selling vehicles, was unchanged for the model year. |

1993 Nissan Altima Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...As a performance car, some might find Altima lacking. They could also dispute Nissan's claim that its 2.4-liter, four-cylinder engine matches a V-6. One Honda driver who sampled the Altima resorted to stealing Lloyd Bentsen's line: "This car is no Honda Accord." Altima's lines are fluid but relatively unexclusive in this era of teardrops and jelly beans, slippery ovoids and flying wedges. The front end is jarring. There's a double-gash grille, with the top slit backed by a mesh that looks like a set of mini-blinds. Beneath that, a broad gape is broken by three intake dams. Not a pretty sight... |
