  • Nice for the price. - 2010 Nissan Altima
    By -

    I bought my Altima new, 13 months & 6200 miles ago. I have not taken it to the dealer for anything but 2 oil changes. This is the first car or truck that I have owned that had no defects! I car shopped for 3 years[2007-2010]. During that time period I drove Accords, Camrys, and Sonatas. I almost bought a 2011 Sonata. My Altima was exactly as I wanted; color, options, price. I got a big discount, $0 down, and 0% financing for 60 months! The V-6 is nice! The controls are easy to use. The speedo and tach are easy to read and nicely illuminated. I enjoy driving it. I would drive it more but my main ride is a 1993 T-100 that I bought new and now has 200,000 miles. I like my Altima a lot!

  • Great Initial Assessment - 2010 Nissan Altima
    By -

    My wife and I were looking for a midsized sedan since we have a grandchild coming in a couple of months. We considered the Altima, Camry, Legacy, Mazda6, & Sonata. It must have the following: good comfortable ride, quiet, good fuel economy, & roomy. That was the dilemma. All of the cars that we considered as noted above can meet those requirements. So we dug deeper. We loved the CVT and the quietness it brought. So it was down to the Subaru and Nissan. Then July 4th weekend sale sealed the deal with the Nissan with up to $2k off with your own financing was great. Additional feature that we love is the smart key and push button start, absolutely wonderful. Highly recommended.

  • Not recommended - 2010 Nissan Altima
    By -

    Ive been living with my Altima 2.5 Sedan for over a year now and I will never have another. I can only describe it as a car for people who dont like driving. Dangerously underpowered, the most uncomfortable front seats Ive ever encountered in a modern vehicle, many rattles and squeaks from the interior and exterior, very prone to understeer due to the poor weight distribution, I find the CVT annoying, the - augmented by limited windshield wiper coverage - blind spot at the drivers A pillar is terrible. The trunk hinges are the invasive kind which is unacceptable to me. There is no mechanical key hole for the trunk. I have many more complaints about it but no room to include them all.

  • The Most Honest Car Review of 2015 - 2010 Nissan Altima
    By -

    This car is a chariot of your dreams. The best ride in your life since well, KINGDA KA at Six Flags. The kind of car that when you get out people wonder if your a celebrity or really just good at your job. Thats it.

  • Death at 163 miles - 2010 Nissan Altima
    By -

    Picked up 2010 Altima with 4 miles on it. Car dies on the way home with 163 miles total. I know that this can happen, and Im not mad about the car breaking down as much as I am about the warranty company not helping me. I am responsible to pay for the rental. I am responsible for any miles over 35 towed and I am 100 miles away from home. The dealership will not give me a courtesy vehicle cause I did not purchase it from them. No rental company open. Basically Nissan proved to me that they will not stand behind their product and since they left us 100 miles away from home without a care, I will make sure that everyone I know never goes with Nissan.

  • Altima Coupe, a good choice - 2010 Nissan Altima
    By -

    The ride is very quiet and comfortable but Im still getting used to the CVT transmission. I previously owned a 4 cyl. Honda Accord (manual transmission) which had more low end power. Vision is somewhat compromised by the coupes design. Mirror adjustment is thus important.

  • Extremely Happy - 2010 Nissan Altima
    By -

    I purchased this vehicle on 7/3 best buy great deal I couldnt be happier. I didnt start out looking at the Altima but I kind of stumbled upon it in my search and I am so glad I did. This car has so much class and style Im amazed at the performance. I purchased it in Navy Blue with the blond leather interior and I gotta tell you its a head turner.

  • Awsome Vehicle - 2010 Nissan Altima
    By -

    I was an SUV person and decided that is was time for a car. I tried the Dodge Avenger, Toyota Camry and the Altima. The Altima won out on Power, and comfort of ride as well as space. I am a big guy and I feel really comfortable in the Altima. I think I actually have more room in this car then I did in my Chevy Blazer. I love the performance too, for a 4 cyl. this car has a lot of "get up and go".

  • What a let down - 2010 Nissan Altima
    By -

    If you value safety, dont buy a Nissan. The car is all over the road. Ive never experienced something like this ever before. Also, there is no seat belt chime to remind you to buckle up! Its too bad they dont have the same policy as GM (if you dont like the car, you can bring it back).

  • I love this car - 2010 Nissan Altima
    By -

    I narrowed my decision down to the 3.5 Altima vs. the 3.5 Accord. I drove both several times. While the Accord drove nice and had a little more back seat room, the Altima was a little zippier and had more fun technology for a little bit lower price.
