I purchased this vehicle in 2012 with 87,000 miles on it, and have added 23,000 additional miles with no irregular maintenance. This is a daily use vehicle and has been very dependable in running errands and Sunday driving, with an occasional long haul trip. Steering and breaking are very responsive, and engine response has been good overall, but occasionally seems to drag. The interior is very spacious and all features still work with everything the driver needs accessible without too much contortion. As I approach higher mileage, I am concerned about other reports of the catalytic converter crapping out and potentially killing the engine. Gas mileage has been consistent throughout seasons and runs relatively smooth for the most part. The vehicle sits a little lower than I am accustomed to, but has a very nice appearance overall and has maintained its integrity very well with no rusting on the exterior. Regular maintenance has included oil changes, brake pad replacement a new battery. Steering radius is a little large for a vehicle this size, but otherwise a comfortable and, most importantly, a reliable ride.

After purchasing this 2005 Nissan Altima LS used at a local dealership I have been very pleased with my purchase. The Nissan Altima has quickly become my favorite car and if given the opportunity I would recommend purchasing a Nissan Altima to my friends and family.

Affordable car, Smooth drive, Great gas mileage, Quiet engine, Reliable for long distance travel, Would definitely purchase again and recommend to others.
