  Buyer BEWARE ! - 2007 Nissan Altima
  By Don - November 23 - 11:50 pm

  Have you ever had to push your "new" car out of the garage so it could be towed to the dealer? 23,000 miles and we have done it twice. Key fobs and push button start are junk. Recalled with less than 900 miles to "remove" noisy heat shield. CVT has never felt just right to me. Road noise is horrific. I would not suggest the purchase of this vehicle. The fuel mileage is extremely over rated, city and highway.

  Not what you pay for - 2007 Nissan Altima
  By rich - August 27 - 1:26 pm

  The sole purpose for us buying the car was dependability and gas mileage. In to months we have yet to get either. Brakes glazed in a month, they dont know why. Rotors turned now brakes act funny. Never got any better then 25 mpg on straight highway driving, sticker said 35 mpg.

  Not Comfortable - 2007 Nissan Altima
  By JoeFrank - April 23 - 2:00 am

  One of least comfortable cars I have ever driven. Every bump, every hole, every paint line is felt. Even my old 96 Camry and 2001 Regal are much more comfortable. I wanted a car to take on trips, but this is not the car.

  Just O.K. ( Buyers Remorse ) - 2007 Nissan Altima
  By Durell - December 17 - 11:20 pm

  I decided to wait 6 mos before writing a review of this car. Lets say that its just ok for a daily driver. The v6 is advertised as having 270 hp, somehow I think thats not entirely true. The AC is lacking punch, The steering is ultra light, the handling even with SE trim is floaty, build quality is better than last gen but not by much, the brakes are pretty much dead if one must make a sudden stop from say 50 mph, lots of fade, the gas mileage is horrible even when taking it easy on the engine.

  bad transmission & endless recalls - 2007 Nissan Altima
  By THEPILGRIMS - April 1 - 12:16 pm

  My car has less than 30000 miles and the transmission already has to be replaced. My rotors had to be turned already and dont get a remote starter to the tune of 549.00 for this really bad car. Im trading this thing in next week. Whats it gonna be like at 40000 miles?? If I get one more recall I will scream!!

  A Decent Commuter - 2007 Nissan Altima
  By autojunkie79 - August 19 - 6:13 pm

  As my daily driver, the Altima is very quiet compared to the previous generation and gets great gas mileage (30.1 mpg avg) despite spirited driving tendencies (70+ mph, squirting through traffic). Now at 56K, it has been very reliable though there are several minor quality issues: A heat shield that rattles when engine is cold, air intake that keeps coming off and rear wheel well liner that keeps popping out - nothing that affects drivability or safety. For a midsize family sedan, the Altima handles surprisingly well but the electric steering is lifeless and OEM tires are horrid in the snow. I dont love this car, but I dont hate it either. Its a safe bet, just like Camry and Accord.

  Completely Unreliable - 2007 Nissan Altima
  By New Honda Owner - January 31 - 5:53 pm

  We loved the styling and perks of the 2.5SL, and we loved the car for the first 2500 miles. Its been downhill fast from there- the car has been in the shop about 10 times in the first year of ownership. In addition to many smaller issues, we have had the transmission replaced, the exhaust pipes replaced, and the computer reprogrammed three times for a very rough idle. The car rattles like an old chevy truck, and they cant figure out why. Isnt legally a lemon, so we traded it- for a Honda. Will NEVER own another Nissan.

  Bad Start and Bad Ride - 2007 Nissan Altima
  By Bad-deal - February 11 - 9:33 am

  I just bought. I drive to a friend place and want to come back home. I could not start the car. Tried and Tried finally pushing different buttons on remote key I was able to start the car. It was embarrassment and frustration. The car ride is ruff. I never seen a car so bad. I would want to return this car tomorrow. Ride is so bumpy my but can feel ever curve of the road. My Camry is smooth and takes the roughness of the road and gives me smooth ride. I am planning to return this car. I had 1999 Altima for brief time. The ride was good, I thought that I would get the same quality. Take a ride on side roads before you make investment.

  Average Altima - 2007 Nissan Altima
  By Blair - November 11 - 9:30 am

  I bought this car after trading in a 2001 GLE Altima that I had numerous issues with, purchased new. Still decided to give new Altima a try. Car is very cheap looking inside and not comfortable. Im a average size female 55 and 125 lbs. The seats hurt on long distance trips. After 2 weeks I traded this car in.

  CVT - Beware - 2007 Nissan Altima
  By Steve - May 9 - 12:53 am

  Just a word of warning for anyone wanting to keep the CVT Altima for any length of time. My CVT just imploded with 46,000 km on it. Maybe warranty they say, maybe not. Takes two days to do the paperwork to get the new transmission approved... if it gets approved. Not impressed. The car is very noisy when driving and lurches when going downhill. I will never buy another CVT again. I can only imagine the cost of replacement for this thing. This will be a real cash cow for Nissan as the trannies start to fail.
