I purchased this car a few years ago as a way to save money when gas prices hiked up to $4 a gallon. I usually drive an SUV, but I needed something more fuel efficient to drive to and from work which is a relatively long commute. I looked at several different cars, but found the Nissan Altima at a dealership that was right in my price range. I liked the looks of the car and it had so many options like a sunroof and a good sound system. I bought the car with cash and took it home the same day I found it.

My first car ever was a Honda Accord. I loved that vehicle, but unfortunately, ran it into the ground with all of my travels. When I was searching for something new in 2014, I didn't want to go into the American-car field. I do not mean to be disrespectful to anyone who likes American cars. I just do not trust them. I have learned from having a Japanese car and comparing my experiences to my friends, is that I get a much better gas mileage. I do tend to be conscious of my carbon footprint, so having another gas-efficient car, was important. This Japanese brand stands apart to me in its design, fuel efficiency and different types of amenities.
