Most reliable, economical, and fun to drive cars
By ladatwork | on Thursday, December 29, 2016
I bought this car new in 2007 and for the first two years, I drove it 120 miles a day around the DC beltway during rush hour. DC rush hour is one of the toughest ways to treat a car with stop and go driving interspersed with 70-80 mph dashes. Nine years later with 110,000 miles, the Altima still drives like new. The only maintenance other than the usual servicing have been brake pads and tires. The model I have is the 2.5 SL with heated leather seats, BOSE sterio with bluetooth, and CVT transmission. The CVT transmission has not only been flawless but I have been able to out perform other stick shift and automatic transmission cars with larger and (supposedly) more powerful engines. The only complaint I have with the Altima are the buttons on the key fob. They are too sensitive occasionally resulting an open trunk and the windows down. I love this car. Most likely I will drive this car until the wheels fall off, which I don't expect will happen soon.… - 5.0
A step above the competition!
By altima_coupe05 | on Monday, July 05, 2010
I bought a 2008 Nissan Altima Couple brand new off the lot in '08. When shopping for a vehicle, I test drove many comparable vehicles such as the Accord coupe, mazda 6, Acura TL, and the Nissan Altime 4-door. Nothing compared to the Altima Coupe and it has been a great car. I have had absolutely no problems with the vehicle in the first two years. I am in sales, so I have to drive the vehicle for long distances sometimes and never once have I had a problem. I always get 29+ mpg and when I do any sort of highway traveling it is usually around 32 mpg. My wife has an accord and the altima has much more power, is more fun to drive, is more comfortable, and gets better gas mileage. I would reccomend this vehicle to anyone looking in this market. It should be worth an extra 2-3K in all value aspects because of how much better the vehicle is overall when compared to others in it's class.… - 4.0
Better Than Expected
By TommYD | on Tuesday, September 29, 2020
Our 2008 Nissan Altima was a car I didn't want to like. Well, the car has been pretty great for the entire time we've had it. It's never had any serious issues and always starts right up.. We are in the desert and the car sits in 110+ degree heat regularly and still runs great with freezing cold AC. We have 123000 miles on the car and it still is quick, gets decent gas mileage and is extremely reliable. Base on personal experience I would have to recommend this vehicle to anyone looking for a really good reliable used car.…
