Love the car - but poor rear visibility - 2010 Nissan Altima
By Peter - September 17 - 10:00 amI have owned the car for about 3-months (purchased the vehicle new in June 2010). So far, very pleased. Its very quiet and powerful on the road - and a very smooth transmission. Reliable (so far). As far as handling goes, I noticed the car is not as stable as my 01 maxima. The steering is aggressive, and the brakes are touchy which leads to a jittery drive for your passengers despite trying to drive conservative. The center console storage has a door which is annoying to use and doesnt lock down well (it pops up as you drive). Other than that, seats very comfortable. The rear seat is firm and flat, allowing a passenger to sleep easily if needed on a long trip.

Just bought, so dont know what I think - 2010 Nissan Altima
By Mike - September 16 - 11:00 pmJust bought a new Altima SL with Conv Pkg, Conv Pkg Plus, Flr Mats, and Splash Grds. I feel I got a decent deal at $23,850 (about $1000 under invoice) and 0% financing. Two bad things happened after paperwork was signed. When I was shown how everything works, the gas door wouldnt open and the low tire pressure light wouldnt go out. Service guys left for the night, so now I have to bring it back to get fixed. Hope thats not a bad omen.

Best Sedan on the Road - 2010 Nissan Altima
By bbarber72701 - September 7 - 7:06 pmI really like the 10 Nissan Altima, after owning an 06 Altima. The body style has changed tremendously. Between the older design and new design, most improvements lie in the exterior, and dash. Youd be hard pressed to find changes in interior. Bought this for my wife 10 Altima around the beginning of the year and we both have fun driving it, weve had no problems with the car and it handles great and turns on a dime. Shes 51 and has great visibility in this vehicle. I would buy an altima again, my one complaint would be the hubcaps that come on the standard model. They are really crappy. If you can afford it definitely upgrade to the alloy wheels. Id give it a 9.8 out of 10.

I love my Altima 3.5 - 2010 Nissan Altima
By clarkd - August 25 - 3:06 pmI have put 3,700 miles on my car in 2 months. I enjoy the CVT but I love the power of the 3.5 (270hp). You accelerate so fast you are speeding before you know it. The ride is a little rough but the steering is very precise and I love the sport tuned suspension. From the paint job to the dual tray center console, this car is first class.

Smell of Coolant Already - 2010 Nissan Altima
By mongo - August 5 - 10:00 amIm enjoying my new car, but I recently noticed the smell of coolant after driving it with the a/c on. I did an online search & found other Nissan owners experiencing the same issue. I havent taken my car in for an inspection, but after reading some posts, its unlikely theyll find a problem right away. I stress over the fact that I paid a hefty price to buy a new car so I wouldnt have to worry about mechanical issues for awhile & now this has come up. However, no other issues so far.

Why cant I get options without sunroof - 2010 Nissan Altima
By NewAltima - July 17 - 9:06 pmI am tall, need to sit upright, need a 6 cylinder car and thus value headroom (eg no sunroof). Since the Altima has the most headroom of 6 cylinder sedans, why oh why do they require the sunroof (sports package) before I could order the premium package (leather seats, backup camera, auto climate control..things that I wanted) Strong suggestion: Please do not mandate sunroofs before other options can be added!!! Otherwise, this is a nice car for a tall driver (first 100 miles).. I find modest road noise and a more US car-like ride than the "harsh" ride in some reviews (less harsh than my 2003 Maxima)

Amazing Car! - 2010 Nissan Altima
By Christine - June 27 - 7:16 amOriginally I was not looking at this car and Im so glad I bought it! I did get the convenience plus & premium audio package which is worth it. Everything about it wonderful! It is a smooth drive and I was driving 90 and it did not feel even close. The technical features are amazing including the back-up camera that works like a dream, bluetooth is an awesome feature and the smart key is so convenient; I do not ever have to take the keys out of my purse. It is comfortable and very roomy. It has huge trunk space too! The MPG does not seem as good as it stated but it is still brand new to me. I only have 500 miles on the car and Ill do another review in a few months but so far A+!

hmm - 2010 Nissan Altima
By carguy2011 - June 16 - 12:46 amIt looks great and probably the best for the money, but. Question the CVT transmission, it sticks going up or down hill. Has issues after a sudden stop. It stays in the gear that it was last in... Windshield and paint dont hold well and chip easily.

Great Family Sedan - 2010 Nissan Altima
By MikeO - June 7 - 8:26 amFirst sedan I have owned in 25 years of owning vehicles, and weve been very pleased with it after 4+ months and 6,000+ miles. The SL is incredibly smooth, quick and quiet for a 4-banger, though the engine noise does come through upon hard acceleration. Have taken the car on 9+ hour rides serveral times now - no issues with comfort (we did get the SL version with leather seats). We have consistently gotten great mileage 34-36 mpg hwy (@ 65+mph) and 25+mpg City. We do miss sitting up high like in our SUVs, but otherwise its a great car. Virtually no torque steer, steering is responsive.

Sorry I left Nissan - 2010 Nissan Altima
By Altima_Guy - May 3 - 1:26 pmI was a loyal Nissan customer for years until a bad experience with a particular dealership. I had previously driven Altimas, but went outside the company and went with a competitors SUV. With gas prices being so unpredictable in the short and long term, I decided to go back to Nissan and get into an Altima to save some money. You get alot for your money with the Altima and Nissan has always been more straight-forward with their financing/leases than Honda who charges whatever they want for leasing ignoring their own great residual values. Im back with Nissan for good and Im looking forward to a predictable great experience with my new Altima.
