When I bought my car it had a little over 100,000 miles on it and since then I've put another 70,000 on it and it's still going strong. Since it was bought well used I expected to have problems with it, and I have had my fair share of expensive mechanic bills, but for such a well used car it has been amazing. I've taken it on road trips ranging anywhere from 300 miles to 2000 miles and it's never given me any problems during those all-night drives. I even drop it up and down Pike's Peak! All in all I would absolutely recommend a Nissan Altima to anyone I know. I would not, however, recommend a 2005 since it is outdated now.

As a four-door, this car is an excellent in-town runabout. The nice mileage average is great also for highway travel. Repair and maintenance are straightforward, and reasonably priced. Nissan is know for their workmanship and quality. I bought this car at 10 years old and I expect it to last another 10.
