I absolutely love my car. Can't say there is really anything I don't like about my car. It has every option I wanted except navigation, which we just bought separately so it is now complete. It is super fast and the pick up is great, I squeel the tires without even trying sometimes!! The only down side is the gas is pricey with having to put premium in her, but she's worth it.

This Altima is fun to drive and easy to care for. It is very reliable and has good room and comfort particularly in the front seat. We use the car regularly around town and also on long trips. It has adequate power, but we are not high speed drivers. Accelleration is fine for driving in town and on the highway, it handles and brakes well. The ride is smoth and comfortable.

This is a very well made car and drives fantastic. The Nissan is a luxury car compared to my old Mazda Protege. The appearance of the car is outstanding, and looks great for both guys and the gals. The performance is not absolutely amazing, but for the type of commuting car that it is... the performance is above average. If you live in the city and you have to go to and from places in a fast pace nature then this car is worth the money. Stop and go power is superb. The features that I bought with my car keep me satisfied everyday. I would be lost without my GPS now, and it helps know where my next venture is and able to get their faster. The interior leather seats and heated option during the winter is nice, and comes in handy of course too. I enjoy driving my car everyday no matter what the day has in store for me. Maintenance is relatively low.... I only wish it got a little better gas mileage! Besides not being a exotic/sports car this car is a whole bunch of fun! If you are into music then get some bose speakers they sound great! overall score is a 7.5 out of 10.
