| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD | I saw all the rave reviews and features it had, and I thought the car would be around $40,000 CAD at least. However, it turned out to be $30,000 which was in my budget. I took it for a spin and was instantly sold. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD | 27K + list, $3,000 down, 24 months at $299 with 15K miles per year. This was a sweet deal. |

| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD | The Altima would have cost us $4000-$5000 more with similar equipment level. |
| 2008 | 2dr Coupe 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD | When I negotiated for the altima the cheapest the dealership would come down to was just over 25,000.

| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD | The price is a bit on the high side when comparing to domestic automobiles, yet a lot can be said about costumer service and a high quality product. I for one will be a repeat costumer of nissans |

I feel like I own a $30K car for only $20K. After the rebate, I was out less than some base model cars. |

| 2013 | 4dr Sedan 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 7-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
Nissan has set the bar pretty high on this car. Highly recommended. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
Neat and clean |
| 2008 | 2dr Coupe 175-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
looks thoughful and well put together. Interior does not look cheap. I like the keyless ignition, doors and trunk. |
| 2008 | 2dr Coupe 175-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
Fit and finish are excellant very good materials used in interior, not all hard plastics |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
The car is made of excellent material for its price and Nissan has been regarded as a very reliable car company for sometime |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
Nissan has done a very good job of keeping the nice stuff where you look and feel, unlike others who put obviously cheap plastic where your arm rests or eyes come in contact with on a daly basis |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
no squeaks or rattles |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |

| 2013 | 4dr Sedan 182-horsepower 2.5L I4 CVT FWD |
Being a big car, I can't help but shake the feeling the car is 'thin' in sheet metal. It's probably going to take some getting used to, but quality is top notch, no loose cables, rattling or misaligned pieces. |
| 2008 | 2dr Coupe 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed manual FWD |
seems a little more attention to detail was needed |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
uneven gaps cheap paint mis-matched colours inside and headlight cover or housing is really cheap !! |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.5L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Pathetic arm that needs to be put in place to keep the hood up. Cheap plastic on the inside. Rattles. |
| 2004 | 4dr Sedan 245-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed manual FWD |
The interior simply looks cheap and ill-fitting, and the controls operated with a less positive feel than I would expect from a car of this price. |
| 2002 | 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
This falls in to small things not meager problems examples armrest metal screws used to screw and hold the armrest in place and that broken now over fitting parts in some places leading to cracks or big rust problem in driver and passenger flor and more. |

Everything fits perfectly. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Dashboard is not plastic but a synthetic plastic for enhanced feel. Door arm rests well planned out. easy to feel for window and mirror controls. Best middle compartment with iPod hookup. Multiple areas for storage. Impressive audio and audio controls. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 249-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
At indicated in the professional reviews, the interior/ exterior is well appointed with quality materials and excellent fit and finish. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
This car has a solid feel to it. And the doors sound a bit like a European sedan when I shut them. I nice reassuring sound from an inexpensive asian built car. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 162-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
soft-touch materials, low-gloss instrument panel |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 162-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Our Sonota looks and feels like a quality car. I have yet to hear any kind of a rattle or squeak on our winter ravished road. The paint is perfect. Doors close with a solid thunk. We have had the car for about 2 months & no problems with anything. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 234-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Excellent value for the price |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 162-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
The car is built solid. We have put 19,000 miles on it since the first of the year (2008)and it still feels like it did the day we bought it new. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 162-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
I have had the car approximately 1.5 years now and it is still as solid as the day I drove it off the lot. I recently had to have body work done due to stone chips, I had a 2009 Mitsubishi Gallant and was horrible...sounded like a go-kart..no comparison |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 162-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Overall, pretty GOOD! |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 235-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
it sits like a luxury car with comfortable leather seats and soft plastics in all the right places. No squeaks or rattles in almost 40,000 miles. |
| 2002 | 4dr Sedan 149-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Just after I tried other cars (mazda, nissan, GM) I realized how good is interior material. |

Controls felt a bit cheap, cheap plastics. |
| 2011 | 4dr Sedan 198-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Cheap interior plastic, like a toyota camry, not as good as the accord. |
| 2011 | 4dr Sedan 200-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
cheap plastic feel. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Periodic "Rice Krispies" effect from the dash as cabin temperature warms. Materials are vastly improved from the 2008 model, but dash material seemingly expands as the cabin warms to room temperature...it ceases once room temperature is reached. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Cheap and low class. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Still some minor fit and finish issues which Hyundai needs to work on. Noticed that the body joints under the car were never coated with undercoating like the rest of the chassis. This is something one would not see on a Toyota or Honda. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 249-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Vents go snap/crackle/pop while flexing in temperatures. Noisy plastic bits from the dash, rumbling rear suspension. |

a few rattles on dash and door. |

not sure; this Sonata is US assembled so time will tell whether or not it will stand the test of time compared to Asian built models |
