Best Reason to Buy the Nissan Altima: Fuel economy
i have owned a 2008, 2009, and a 2010 nissan altima. my 2008 and my 2010 altimas only get about 33 miles to an imperial gallon highway, yet my 2009 altima got 44 to 45 miles to the gallon which is the epa rating for cars sold in canada. all these cars have had the same engine 2.5 in them and i drive around 65mph or 120kph maximum. my city fuel consumption is about 31mpg to 32 mpg which is only one to two miles different then my city. the 2008 and the 2010 altimas are the first vehicles that i have owned that get virtually no better milage on the highway compared to the city other then the one hybid vehicle that i have owned. this is very perplexing

Best Reason Not to Buy the Nissan Altima: Fuel economy
the highway fuel economy is rated at 45mpg imperial gallon. it does not even get close im lucky to get 32 to 33.5 mpg

Best Reason to Buy the Nissan Altima: Reliability & durability
Car is approaching 60k and 5 years and still drives as new. Everything just continues to work.

Best Reason Not to Buy the Nissan Altima: Tires
Seems to eat tires. OEM tires replaced at 30k and replacement Dunlops only lasted 30k. Only area of unhappiness.

Other Reasons to Buy the Nissan Altima: Cargo capacity & towing, Fuel economy

  Nissan Altima 2013 2.5 SL Tech
A member from Massachusetts, United States

Best Reason to Buy the Nissan Altima: Front seat support & comfort
The seats are very comfortable, I would have been happy if both the driver and passenger were electronic. The lumbar support is fantastic and the driver seats is 8-way adjustable. For tall people this car will be a great ride.

Best Reason Not to Buy the Nissan Altima: Rear seat room & comfort
Kids in the back seat love the limoesque space. I do enjoy anchor locks and the well placed seat belts. There is definitely some intelligent design and practice into everything and anything in this car.

Other Reasons to Buy the Nissan Altima: Audio & nav systems, Interior styling, Powertrain performance, Fuel economy

Best Reason to Buy the Nissan Altima: Brand reputation & image
We have owned 4 Maximas in the past, and were considering another, when we took a drive in this car. If you're a Maxima fan, don't drive this one or you'll take it home!

Best Reason Not to Buy the Nissan Altima: Past personal experience
The only reason we don't own this right now is the fact that we got an incredible buy on a used Infiniti, but this car would have been our second choice.

Best Reason to Buy the Nissan Altima: Powertrain performance
the pre cat in front of the engine block has a bad coating and bad design. the coating flakes off and gets sucked into the engine. catastrophic engine failure. requires after market header to keep the engine reliable for longer time.

Best Reason Not to Buy the Nissan Altima: Exterior styling
great looker for the year

Best Reason to Buy the Nissan Altima: Ride smoothness
This 2002 has soft and smooth wheel travel over bumps or sudden hill drops back end gets absorbed with a lot of travel down and up resulting in soft bump ride and not harsh wheel impact in ride characteristics.

Best Reason Not to Buy the Nissan Altima: Dealership practices
Well lets be honest If you go to a dealer and you tell them what wrong with a car and tell them to replace a part and they replace a part that is not broken and the problem continues and then after they replace a part that you told them to come on........

Best Reason Not to Buy the Nissan Altima: Interior styling
Compared to many new cars, one could argue that the interior is somewhat plain and uneventful (lacks tons of controls/button). Personally I think the interior has a clean straight forward appearance that I appreciate. Center vents have a sporty design.

Best Reason to Buy the Nissan Altima: Exterior styling
Looks "reasonably" sporty, maybe even little better than the Infinity coupe from which it has been designed

Best Reason Not to Buy the Nissan Altima: Cargo capacity & towing
Ridiculous cargo space, but what to expect from a "sporty" car...
