At first, I liked the way it looked. It looks sporty with the body kit, the big guard and the roof window. Then I drive it. It's got more power than my old car but still a 4.0 so not a gas hog. It's good on gas, and the A/C and radio work. I have had it six years and never had major wok done to it. The transmission goes into second gear hard. That is the only mechanical issue I have with it. Also, the Altima is a battery hog, but that is not a big deal to me. Also, the e-brake is very loose. It's a great car, and it gets me from A to B without leaving me stranded.

Buying the Nissan Altima was at first a reluctant experience because I was financing around $25,000. I love how it is comfortable inside for my child and spacious for my bicycle. The only drawback I would say about the Altima is that it cannot meet my expectations of a sports car. It does not accelerate like a fast car. This makes me feel like it is not worth the amount of money I dedicated.
