  • 2.5SL Great Ride! - 2010 Nissan Altima
    By -

    I wanted to like the new 2011 Sonata, drove one for 3 days, nice but just couldnt pull the trigger. Dealership also had Nissans so I decided to drive the Altima 2.5 SL as a comparison. The Sonata has the looks, but thats really were it ended. The Altimas ride is far better, handling is better, and the COMFORT is way superior (despite Sonta having more backseat room). The SLs options were almost identical (no back seat heater). Im at 3,900 miles, getting 33 mph on the Hwy, 29 city, no complaints. The CVT is different, but not at all bothersome. This is a really nice vehicle--and for the price a great value!

    Traded in a 2008 Subaru Outback wagon (turbo). Red leather is a great change from black. A real nice drive with a good ride and plenty of features.

  • So Far So Great! - 2010 Nissan Altima
    By -

    Have only had the car about a week (100 or so miles) but loving it so far. Excellent acceleration, braking, and handling; beautiful exterior and interior design. Will update review as necessary.

  • Very nice ride - 2010 Nissan Altima
    By -

    I traded a Forester XT for this Altima and the difference is night and day, which may speak about the poor quality of the Subaru. This car came equipped with the Premium and Sport Packages. At 500 miles so far no complaints about power or ride. Mileage has ranged from 19.5 (virtually all city) to 28 (One hiway trip avg).

  • Beware of brakes! - 2010 Nissan Altima
    By -

    My daughter and I owned the same car. Both of them needed new rotors with under 20,000 miles even though pads were in great shape. $600 repair, not covered by warranty as brakes are considered a wear and tear item. Discussed issue with service mgr. and was told that this is a very common problem with Altimas. Buyer Beware! Traded mine in for a Honda. Would not buy another one. Nissan is aware of problem, but wont correct it.

  • Thanks to edmunds - 2010 Nissan Altima
    By -

    I want to thank edmunds for providing excellent insight and knowledge for car hunters. I recently bought a 2010 2.5S Altima and had great success at the dealership. The car sales team hit me with all the text book tricks. The four corners, trade in value, and monthly payments. Thanks to reading the article on the inside the dealership, I was well prepared to handle the smooth talk. I purchased the car three hundred dollars under invoice price. Thanks Edmunds! To new car buyers, do your homework, be ready to hear the slick talk, and never tell them the price per month you want to pay or like my brother tells them initially - $25.00 per month LOL!

  • Sweet ride - 2010 Nissan Altima
    By -

    Purchased the 2010 Altima 3.5 SR (V6) with the Premium, Sport and Technology packages. I generally buy my cars brand new, maintain them well and keep them for 10 plus years.So far, driving this for ten years would be a pleasure.

  • Second Nissan - 2010 Nissan Altima
    By -

    The lease was up on my 08 Sentra, and after being so happy with it, I decided to go for the larger Altima this time around. Love the new facelift, and the addition of traction, and vehicle dynamic controls. Looks great in the new ocean grey color. Drives so smooth and quiet, and has great pickup.

  • Near perfection - 2010 Nissan Altima
    By -

    I really couldnt be much happier with this car. The new transmission is great. The car has tons of HP in the 6 cylinder version. Its roomy and luxurious on the inside. Gas mileage could be a little better. And Nissan did a very stupid thing by bundling all of the available options into 3 very expensive packages. You cant get leather seats without a sunroof. You cant get the upgraded radio unless you get leather seats, etc. Each package is around $2k, but has lots of features most people dont want and are forced to pay for. Its still a great car, very reliable with a nice look on the outside and a great look on the inside.

  • Wondrful Family Car - 2010 Nissan Altima
    By -

    I bought the 2.5s Altima only a week ago but can already say that I LOVE IT! I have owned many different types of cars in the past 10 years between my husband and me. The performance is wonderful and the exterior you cant beat. Its not as comfortable as some previous cars that I have had but other than that the Altima is all it was said to be from the reviews.
