  Accord to Altima - 2010 Nissan Altima
  By Pattiee - November 3 - 10:30 pm

  Overall a nice car. A bit disappointed in the gas mileage, as Im only averaging 27. The hardest part is the lack of initial pickup, compared to my Accord, its pretty bad and my Accord was a 4 cyl too. The other biggest complaint is the seat belt. It is too low on the frame and impedes across the shoulder too much.

  Nissan Altima Review--an okay car - 2010 Nissan Altima
  By tmagman1 - August 17 - 6:33 am

  I really didnt have nor did I want to spend a great deal of money on a car. I test drove the Mazda 3 and the Hyundai Elantra. The Hyundia actually did pretty well. I decided to give the Altima a shot. It wasnt a bad ride, and a decent value for what you get. My biggest complaint is the horsepower. I believe 175 hp is low for a car this size. The new Hyundia Sonata offers a 198 hp engine and will give the Altima a run for its money. In my opinion the engine is relatively loud during acceleration. While cruising the engine is quiet, but during take off this engine is very loud.

  New Altima almost there - 2010 Nissan Altima
  By Al - April 27 - 2:30 pm

  I am a sales rep and have driven my new Altima 800 miles . The drivers seat is not comfortable after an hour on the road. It needs more padding and a lumbar adjustment available as standard features on other cars. Nissan wants you to buy leather seats to get a lumbar feature. The stereo on the 2.5 s has speakers that distort easy. The back window trim panels on my car developed bubbles after a week of owning the car. Dealer has to remove and repair them. Shouldnt happen on a new car. Test drive this car for a while before making a deal! Your back may thank you!

  Noises? - 2010 Nissan Altima
  By teacherman - March 9 - 10:00 am

  I only have 500 miles on it but notice when the car is full until ¾ a tank I here a sloshing noise that results in a knocking sound when slowing down, backing up, etc in the rear of the vehicle. The sound seems to be the fuel moving around the tank, but it is quite loud, and usually results in a few knocking sounds each time I hear it. I do not even need to be traveling at high speeds to hear this noise. I have never heard anything like this on a vehicle and was wondering if anybody has had any similar experiences. I took it to the dealer and they hear the noise, but according to them it is common in the 2010 Altimas.

  Decent Car Overall - 2010 Nissan Altima
  By KG - January 15 - 6:16 pm

  I traded an 04 Impala in for this car. It is smaller than the Impala and gets worse gas mileage, so Im not sure if I made a good decision or not. The keyless start is nice, but if you lose your keys it is very expensive to replace. Its an ok car overall, but sometimes I miss my Impala.

  Beware of the CVT - 2010 Nissan Altima
  By considerate128 - October 19 - 4:43 pm

  Bought this car used with 50k miles on it. After about 6 months I noticed a rattle sound from the transmission at low speeds @1,500 rpms. I did some research and it sounds like its a common thing for their transmissions. I was very disappointed and the cost to repair looked to be steep. I knew there were mixed opinions about the transmission and I wanted to give it a chance. Last Saturday a truck rear ended me, totaling the car. It may be a blessing in disguise due to the transmission needing repair and I was able to go out and get something else. I will not buy another Nissan again if it uses the CVT technology.

  Love my Nissan - 2010 Nissan Altima
  By Nissanmotorhead - July 8 - 10:00 am

  This is my second Altima. My first was a 2007 2.5S. I currently have a 2010 3.5SR. Love this car from to end to end. Great car for entry level performance combined with enough space for friends and family.

  Beware of brakes! - 2010 Nissan Altima
  By ireners - March 26 - 9:23 am

  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.

  Could have changed this part. - 2010 Nissan Altima
  By Carl - October 20 - 8:43 am

  So far very happy with the car. Only some small complaints. Car rides very nice until you hit a sharp, quick bump in the road. Feels like you hit a brick in the road. Biggest complaint, but bought the car anyway is where they placed the 2 charger ports in the car. One at the bottom of the arm rest storage area and the other at the back of the storage in the center console. If you store anything in these areas, youll have to empty everything out just to plug in a charger. I agree big time about what someone else wrote. They should have more options available. Its either nothing or everything. Big difference in the price tag.I paid $500.00 out of pocket to have a spoiler put on.

  Great Car - 2010 Nissan Altima
  By JEPOP - July 22 - 8:23 am

  Bought a new Altima 2.5S last month and (so far) I really love this car. Other contenders in my new car hunt were the Accord and the Camry. In the end I went with the Altima because of price and the CVT (transmission). Highway MPG is fantastic (averaging between 32 and 36 MPG). The car is quick, quiet and very responsive. I am a first time Nissan buyer and hope that this car holds up as well as the Honda or the Toyota, time will tell.
