Nissan Altima Change Vehicle

"Easy to drive"

"Drives well with tight steering and acceleration is excellent considering it has a 4 cylinder engine."

"car has good acceleration but is noisy and the car handles well"

"comfortable seats and ride, good acceleration for 4 cylinder, good handling in winter weather"

"The hybrid power plant has tremendous acceleration and shifts very smoothly and unobtrusively. It feels like I'm still driving the Cadillac Seville that I traded in for it."

"Great handling and excellent acceleration for a 2.5 L engine; very good mpg."

"Good"

"Acceleration is fantastic. The car handles well on corners. Smooth ride. Love the CVT transmission!"

"Acceleration with the 2.5L 4 cylinder engine is very good. I also like the smooth CVT transmission...no gear shift changes with the automatic transmission. Handling is very good."

"The 3.5 V6 engine continues to be highly responsive and enjoyable to drive."

"Great all around handing, cornering and acceleration. When I push the pedal it "moves" very smoothly and with great emphasize.."

"It accelerates and handles quite well for a medium sized 4 cylinder car --it has remained so for 8 years and 91000 miles."

"Acceleration with the V6 is excellent for a large car and the brakes are very good."

"This car is a six cylinder and it very quick. We have never had a problem with it."

"Smooth acceleration and excellent steering."

"Excellent acceleration even after eight years (I have the 3.5 engine). Handling is good."

"The Altima handles very well. It accelerates quickly and steering is very responsive to my turns. This is the Altima's best feature to me."

"The Altima is a 3.5, it has excellent pickup. Driving around in the city the handling is wonderful."

"I'm surprised at how quick the altima accelerates compared to my 2007 subaru wagon. Handling is also responsive."

"Very good acceleration for a 4 cylinder and good handling in curves and in rainy or snowy conditions."

"very fast pickup and great handling"

"Very responsive to acceleration."

"The 6 cyl was very good"

"acceleration is excellent and so is driving and handling."

"for a 4 cylinder it has pretty good acceleration and handling. Part of sacrifice I made to get 5 morew miles per gallon than my last car"

"It has good acceleration. The handling is fine, unless you are trying to make "parking lot" turns. It turns like a super tanker."

"The 3.5 litre engine has plenty of power and I never have an issue passing slower moving traffic."

"The CVT allows for smooth acceleration and the 3.5 liter engine delivers instant acceleration."

"Love EVERYTHING ABOUT IT!!"

"handles well, not a sports car but has nice acceleration. feel kind of sporty."

"Quick acceleration and easy handling"

"The car handles fairly well and accelerates very well for a four-door family sedan. I like the continuously variable transmission's consistent power delivery."

"Easy to handle on curves and just seem to be in control of the car"

"Nice pick-up for a four. The CVT is a winner. It is always ready to go."

"It has great acceleration."

"Love the pep that the little 4 cylinder has. I also like the CVT, as it really seems smooth as it accelerates."

"Acceleration and "flat" cornering"

"Very smooth acceleration. like that there is no shifting when accelerating"

"Excellent acceleration with the six cylinder engine."

"Good highway handling. Hybrid acceleration excellent."

"Ver peppy and responsive. Steering is very tight and has a good feel."

"Plenty of acceleration for my purposes, which includes some pretty demanding entries on antiquated NYC expressways. Car probably could be a bit lighter and use a smaller motor. No problems with CVT transmission at all, though sometimes acts a little like a manual with the clutch only partially engaged at low speeds. Occasional jerkiness doesn't bother me, but might needlessly worry some customers."

"We purchased this car with the 4-cylinder engine and it is somewhat under-powered. If we were to purchase again, I would get the V-6."

"Same great acceleration and handling as in our 2009 - very happy with these cars"

"I like the sports suspension and the acceleration ."

"Good"

"I've never owned a car with better handling (cornering and holding the rode) and I've probably owned nearly twenty vehicles."

"Zero to sixty mph in 6 seconds flat. Handles very well. SR coupe."

"This car handles very well and has s tight turning radius."

"Acceleration is great. Handling, well the car doesn't turn well in parking lots."

"It's actually fun to drive. I had forgotten how much I could enjoy driving."

"Excellent acceleration, fun to drive"

"accelaration"

"Somewhat sluggish on acceleration. However, that translates into relatively good gas mileage overall which does save me money. I generally calculate my mileage into mpg (Imperial measure) which yields about 32 to 38 mpg (city and highway respectively)"

"good"

"I've had 4 cylinder cars before, but this has far more power and climbs hills better than the 6 cylinder minivans I've owned. Acceleration, braking and handling are great. It's truly been a joy to drive."

"The CVT transmission gets fairly noisy during acceleration & that cannot be changed unfortunately."

"For a 4 cylinder engine, it has great acceleration."

"Great acceleration because it is a hybrid. Nissan Altima hybrid"

"The do not like the way the car handles during winter driving. Will not buy this car again because of this."

"Good enough for me"

"Good acceleration and handling."

"The CVT transmission on the Nissan Altima is very smooth and responsive. I love how there is no transmission shift feel. Acceleration is very quick."

"Strong acceleration for a 4-cylinder normally aspirated engine. I'd guess the CVT transmission is probably why. Brakes well and handles curves and turns in a stable manner."

"from the day the car was purchased I have had a vibration felt through the body as if the exhaust was touching the body of the car"

"Leather"

"Much more comfortable than my previous car, a 1999 Ford Taurus."

"Head rest is not comfortable!"

"Car is noisy, it transfers road noise. Ride has been rough since 75,000 miles."

"Seats are hard just not comfortable (I have the top of the line model). Road noise is annoying, particularly on concrete road surface."

"I have been generally very happy with the quality of my Altima, but the suspension is too low and stiff, feeling every bump in the road and road noise is too loud."

"Excellent noise supression and comfortable over potholes."

"Quiet ride"

"Seat adjustments for a 6'2" person are excellent with plenty of head and leg room. Leather seats are comfortable for long trips. Ride is smooth. Quietness of ride could be improved."

"Big, quiet sedan. Love it still after all those years. Seats are a bit low but very comfortable. If I fix my front struts - it rides very softly and have a good handling. (No ABS or ESC or none like that)"

"An feel the road so suspension could be better"

"The seats are comfortable, but would like more lumbar support. The outside/tire noise can get pretty loud in the back seat. Otherwise, it's pretty comfortable."

"The car and ride is comfortable. The noise is a little off putting, but the car has 193,000 on it."

"Inside noise is not too good."

"I dearly wish that we could have gotten memory seat controls. There is more road noise than I like."

"Driver seat does not provide enough cushion"

"comfortable seats, low ride noise, smooth ride"

"The driver & front passenger seats are the most comfortable of any car we’ve owned in the last 45 years. We can drive nearly 1,000 miles and not feel road weary."

"Generally comfortable with good adjustments for various drivers. Relatively quiet ride, tires are a bit noisy, but the winter ones I purchased are quieter. Generally smooth ride, absorbs bumps well. Seats are comfortable , but a little lacking in cushion and back support on long drives. It was a great buy for the money"

"comfortable, quiet, easy to adjust driver's seat"

"I have the base model Nissan Altima. It is a loud ride, noisy. Seats position well for comfort although they are manual in this model. Visibility is good in all directions."

"Very rough ride- can feel every bump in road. As well, quite a bit of road noise evident"

"WE HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR 8 YEARS AND STILL RIDES VERY COMFORTABLE AND HAS NOT DEVELOPED ANY ANNOYING NOISES"

"Very comfortable car given I am a very heavy person. Smooth ride with very little noise"

"I've always found road noise a little loud in this car."

"My SL looks and feels expensive when your driving it. It has a soft interior with a supple ride and is well designed inside."

"It is an inexpensive car and you can't expect too much, but comfortable seats are a must. The covering and padding are hard and do not breath. We put 187000 on a "97" Ford Crown Vic and could be comfortable over 700 miles a day."

"air leaks/noises - dealer has said x3-4 "don't worry...we'll take care of it" and they don't fix it - my time is valuable - i'm unwilling to keep going back"

"Seats are comfortable"

"The seats in this Altima are surprisingly hard and unyielding, making long stays in the car very difficult. I expected better for a family car."

"just all around comfortable to drive."

"Car in Sl model ( not included in prev. question) great seats and excellent handling"

"Overall the car is great. Comfortable, roomy, economical. It could be a bit quieter, though."

"Notice bumps more on the highway and side roads as compared to a ford escape."

"Road noise. Driver seat is uncomfortable on long drives."

"Seats comfortable for long drives Climate control system with dual controls allows driver and passenger to control their area separately Comfortable ride Could have better road noise control"

"I found the seats to be very uncomfortable on a long trip. Climate control hard to adjust."

"holding balance on curves"

"The ride is a bit rough(SR version) and road noise is high"

"The noise reference relates to "road noise", really tire noise. Compared with other mid-sized cars the rear axle bearings and road/tire noise are louder than in my Toyota."

"Fully adjustable driver side seat."

"seats are comfortable and layout is nice. However, the A/C Compressor has already failed and the factory shocks were leaking and had to be replaced."

"needs more thigh support"

"Passenger cabin is a bit noisy, but this is not a luxury vehicle."

"I believe that Nissan has the most comfortable seats on the market. I tested many vehicles and the Nissan always was the most comfortable of any, larger or smaller no matter what brand of vehicle."

"Sort of noisy engine and cabin."

"Rough ride, too much road noise."

"The noise level is louder than I would have liked. My previous cars were apparently better at blocking out outside noise while driving, because I didn't realize that this could be an issue."

"I have extensive back problems from a fall. One of the things that stood out to me on that test drive years ago was the comfort and support to my back. It remains the same. And I have taken some extended trips cross country."

"This is the coupe V6. Remarkably quiet and comfortable ride for a sporty car. LOTS of power."

"Love everything but would upgrade the size engine."

"the standard front seats are poor on padding and get uncomfortable after two hours of driving. Climate control, noise, and ride are excellent."

"Does not ride well on urban roads and not well controlled noise level is high at highway speed These have both become much more noticeable with age"

"would like less road noise and less acceleration noise"

"Would like plusher/leather seats next time. Also want interior handle on roof to use getting in and out of car."

"poor visibility when parking or reversing very good driving experience, good acceleration, spacious inside"

"Drivers side power seat is very uncomfortable!"

"front seats are very uncomfortable for longer rides, an hour or more. back seats are a joke, even hard to access just for hauling anything."

"Seats are reasonably comfortable. Would prefer transmission lever on steering wheel making it easier to slide across front seat (NYC parking). Stiff ride but expected this. Seat coverings are cheap, hard to clean. Visibility: Huge blind spots right and left sides rear. this seems nearly universal in the current styling craze for most cars. Very dangerous and may require legislative response. Most recent autos shouldn't be allowed on the road! cameras perhaps helpful but a palliative response"

"seats uncomfortable after 1 hour - ragrdless of shock replacement, proper tire pressure"

"The Altima seats have lumbar support which makes them very comfortable.The leather seats feel nothing like leather."

"Road noise too high."

"The leather and padding on the seats are totally unacceptable. We purchased seat cushions."

"considering price, quality, reliability, ride, and handling this vehicle provides outstanding value"

"Considering the only issue I have had with my Altima has been the door window motors (and only in -12 Celsius weather) this car has been problem free. I perform regular maintenance and I have had no issues."

"At the time in 2010 Nissan was offering excellent deals for the 3.5 liter Altima, under $22,000. Quality was similar to Honda and Toyota competitors but it was and is much more fun to drive."

"This has been an amazing car for the price. It remains a trouble-free, repair-free car which still is beautiful and fun to drive after all these years. It is a joy."

"Handles nicely! Fell in love with it the first time I drove it!! I'm under 5 feet, I'm comfortable in it..told I look good in it!!"

"paid $16,500 for a new car"

"It met our needs for a second car"

"GOOD: A good value because of its reliability, comfort, automatic climate control BAD: The high cost of dealer service for scheduled maintenance."

"The display on audio system is unreadable in warm weather of about 70 degrees and above. Lack where water gets inside of back doors and sloshed inside of doors."

"it was $20000 when I git it. it was fair."

"Overall meets my needs for a car compared to my much more expensive Nissan Maximas I drove for 16 years."

"I got a lot of extras at a very good price compared to similar cars- power seats and sunroof, alloy rims. It gets great gas mileage.It was 2nd rated by CR that year and has lived up to the assessment"

"The value for buying this used was so good that a dealer (who was not selling this car) told me I better go buy that car instead of one of their own vehicles."

"When I bought it brand new I first checked CR rating of this car and it got the top rating in it;s class. It has been extremely reliable in town and on long trips in/out of state. Repairs have not been excessive and I plan to drive it til it dies. That's how I get value out of my cars. I won't buy one if not highly rated by CR with a proven record of value ratings."

"comfortable ride, only normal service expenses, reasonable power, excellent gas mileage, comfortable seats, a little noisier than I like"

"Overall good car for the price. Don't think I could get the value now in 2018."

"Still has great acceleration and handling. I have three vehicles..one older and one more recent but I enjoy driving the Altima more than the others.."

"For the price I paid I got what I needed plus more."

"My car is a Hybrid--when I bought it there was a huge tax rebate AND a discount at purchase. Cost me less than a non-hybrid. It is now 8 years old and has required NO repairs."

"This car gets great MPG, a lot of pickup and great turn radius"

"I feel like I paid a small amount versus comparable vehicles at the time."

"Seven years ago I paid about $21,000 for a well-equiped Altima with a six cylinder engine. It is a very good freeway car with excellent acceleration and is pleasant to drive.. Other than the brake rotors (replaced twice in under 60,00 miles) there have been no major problems, although a few minor ones have surfaced."

"After 7 years, the vehicle still runs like new. Comfortable, easy driving. Good gas milage"

"We have had this car for 7 years and it runs like it did when it was new. Problem free and very comfortable."

"too many service calls"

"a good value for the money paid"

"The tires did last more than 35000 miles and the tire warranty is worthless"

"At the time, I was also looking at the Ford fusion. This vehicle was far more reasonably priced."

"The 2010 Altima 2.5S 4-cylinder w/CVT transmission is a great "meat and potatoes" car. It's not a luxury car but everything it does, it does well. Acceleration and passing ability is much better than one would expect from a normally aspirated 4-cylinder engine. I suspect the CVT transmission accounts for much of that. City and highway mileage is superb: 23 city, 33 highway."

"New 2010 2.5 S for $16900.00 plus tax & title"

"I paid about $3000 less than the best deals available on comparable sedans (Camry, Accord, etc.), and it's been a VERY dependable car. The mileage, comfort and features have proven to be everything I expected."

"Able to negotiate a significant price below MSRP."

"Car has been inexpensive to buy and operate. Has been reliable. Unsuitable for winter driving in Canada, but suitable for our Florida extended stay."

"Fuel economy is excellent. Although rated at 34 mpg on highway, I have gotten as high as 37 mpg Aside from battery replacement, I've had no other repairs, only normal maintenance"

"Price"

"Got it for a good price and have had no trouble out of it"

"In my youth I always had sports cars. My previous car was a 6 cylinder Nissan. Economics forced me to down grade to a 4 cylinder. Not to bad on performance all things considering."

"You pay for the keyless operation but it doesn't add anything to the value of the car."

"It is nice looking."

"Has timeless beauty. It still looks new."
