I love the elegant styling of my Nissan Altima. It's roomy inside and my passengers always feel comfortable and safe. The width of the car is perfect for parking but it feels substantial on the road. The ride has always been smooth and the CVT makes acceleration a breeze. I feel confident and smart when I'm behind the wheel.

The car is very dependable when maintenance is kept up. Overall great power to be a base model four cylinder. I do wish the outside noise was a little quieter, but it's not overwhelming. Sleek and sporty. Handles well on the road. Great out of town mileage. Moderate in-town gas mileage. Fairly roomy for backseat passengers, and front seating is pretty much the same. Body paint has seemed to rust, and I've noticed that on many other models like mine. The interior trim is nice and sporty like. The leather, if kept up, holds very well as far as shape and color. One huge problem I've had is the dashboard during the summer get so hot that it has started to melt closest to the glass window. Which now causes a bad glare. Nissan did not find this to be a defect, so it is up to the owner to fix the problem. Currently over 200,000 miles. I have started having major maintenance issues such as the engine light coming on, rattling of certain car parts with in the vehicle and in the engine.
