I have had this car for ten years and have not had to make any major repairs due to mechanical failure, just repair associated with normal wear and tear. I have over 160,000 miles on the car, and it still runs great. The paint job has held up. There is no rust. The head lights have become foggy so not pretty to look at. The Nissan Altima is a practical car that seems to last a long time. It is surprisingly roomy with decent trunk space. I have fit a few things in there that I didn't think would fit. It handles decently on the road, but it isn't that great in the snow. Lots of slippage.

I got the black version, very fuel efficient. Came with six months Sirius XM subscription, which was also very nice.
