The car has great handling, traction, and fuel efficiency. While there may be more reliable cars out there, the Nissan Altima is still very dependable and low maintenance. Engine has enough horsepower to provide a fun racing experience, but is efficient enough that gas stops aren't annoyingly common. The Bose Sound System is rich, vibrant, and provides a great ambiance.

I purchased this car from my mother after she had driven it for 80,000 miles. She had done no major work to it other than oil changes and getting new tires and then aligning them. I have continued to drive the car. I also continued her maintenance schedule for another 50,000 miles bringing the car to around 130,000 miles without any serious issues.
