I have a middle of the line trim Nissan Altima that I purchased before driving across the country to start graduate school. It has been a solid car so far other than an issue with the air conditioning that started the same week the 3 year warranty expired. The quality is great for a car in this price range. It has performed very well, is great to drive, and serves my needs well.

I wasn't sure if I had wanted the Altima but leaned towards it heavily. When I first got into the car, I noticed how comfortable the seats were. It drove smooth, cornered nicely, and just felt all together right for as much as I commute. I had a little buyer's remorse paying as much as I did for a car that was about a year old. However six months down the road, I have none. It has been reliable, comfortable, and safe. I also get 40 miles to the gallon and 700 miles to the tank. 700 miles for $45.00, I'll take it.
