Why it stands out
The 2018 Nissan Altima, a long-time competitor in the midsize sedan market, distinguishes itself with a blend of performance, spaciousness, and good fuel efficiency. Available with all-wheel drive—a rarity among its rivals—the Altima offers flexibility for various driving conditions. While the current generation had a strong beginning and offers many desirable safety and tech features, it is due for a redesign to compete effectively with newer models. Despite its advantages, some buyers should be aware of potential reliability issues and the model's tendency to depreciate faster than competitors like the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry. Overall, the Altima remains an attractive option for budget-conscious buyers looking for value in the used car market.

The Nissan Altima is a great car and it looked nice in person. There was no major damage to the car. Unfortunately, the car smells like cigarette smoke. Also, the car would not start when I initially tried to test drive it. This could be because it has been sitting at the dealership for 3 weeks but the battery is only a year old. I had some concern for the alternator. If you get this car, I would recommend having a mechanic look at it as soon as possible.
