Overview & Reviews

The 2015 Altima 3.5 SV and 3.5 SL trims now come standard with the Technology package (including touchscreen navigation and upgraded safety features), which remains optional on the 2.5 SV and 2.5 SL. Also, the remote ignition system can detect the ambient temperature and activate climate/defrost functions accordingly, and all SV models get a standard eight-way power driver seat.

  Good car - 2015 Nissan Altima
  By Gem - March 7 - 3:16 pm

  This car is super comfortable for long trips. On hwy only Ive managed up to 42 mpg a and avg. 35 City miles average 18-20. Or took 4 mo. to get used to the cvt. It is a good looking car and I get a lot of compliments from passengers. The sound system is wonderful and our handles well. The cons... It is noisy and the engine sounds awful sometimes. Not like its running bad just cheap sounding. Overall its a great car.

  Great car to drive, technology needs work. - 2015 Nissan Altima
  By Meg Morgan - February 5 - 10:12 pm

  First off, great car to drive. Comfortable, great pickup, terrific gas mileage, looks good. On the downside, before you buy, make sure your phone will work with their hands-free text messaging. There are a lot of phones that DO NOT work with outgoing text messaging (which is really just a series of pre-scripted messages; there is no "talk-to-text" messaging), including the iPhone 6. They blame Apple but that certainly doesnt stop them from touting it as a great feature. I did get my incoming texts to work at first, sometimes, although if there is more than one that comes in, it would only read the first one to me, not any subsequent texts. Really annoying. Why bother? Id also get the choices of "send text, read text or call back," through voice prompt. Id say, "send text," to which it system responds, "text messaging is not available." So why is it offering it as a choice? Second issue is their blind spot assist. In my car, the drivers side works really well, but not the passenger side. It would work at lower speeds (say, under 60mph), but didnt even register cars on high-speed roads, which is when you really need to know that youre clear of a car you just passed. Took it in for service and they told me there was a laundry list of parameters that needed to be met in order for it to work (distance from other cars, speed, weather, other conditions), and they couldnt find anything wrong with the sensors. I think small blind-spot mirrors will be more helpful. Before you buy, search for forums on these problems. I didnt find them until after I purchased and had problems, so be sure to do your research. Thirdly, I had an issue with the radio. It would freeze up and disallow me from changing not only the radio station but also the source (i.e., from radio to CD, to Sirius, back to radio, etc). Dealership told me there was an update needed, which they performed (Im wondering why they didnt do the update before I took possession of the car??), but since they did that, I now cant get my text messages, so another trip to them is in order. Long story short, when I spent this kind of money on a brand new car, I expected everything to work perfectly. Not an unreasonable expectation. It didnt The car is not performing in the specific areas for which I bought it. I most recently had a Honda Accord, which I really liked and that was another contender. I decided to change things up a bit and now wish I hadnt. I like driving the Altima, but those bells and whistles are really not what they should be. Nissan needs to do a lot of work to upgrade these poor performing areas.

  Best Car Ive Ever Owned - 2015 Nissan Altima
  By Cydney Ginter - February 2 - 8:57 am

  I am completely and utterly amazed by this car. Compared to my pervious car which was an suv, the altima is extremely comfortable and drives amazingly. It has an extremely quiet cabin, which Im not used to but I absolutely love. The power is phenomenal. My SUV didnt have any special features and with the altima, I have bluetooth, and push to start which is an added bonus. I have the limited edition therefore I also have the remote car start perfect for the winter! I have absolutely no complaints! I would highly recommend this car to anyone!
