  2006 Altima Special Edition - 2006 Nissan Altima
  By chuck - July 10 - 5:50 am

  I was surprised with how well this car rides and the power a 2.5 L has. The options available were a good value. I would like to see ABS made standard, but this car is worth the money.

  Great car! - 2006 Nissan Altima
  By Ryan - July 7 - 4:16 am

  This has been one of my favorite cars I have owned so far. The V6 is very powerful, and gets great fuel economy with the 5-speed. If I baby the car I can get 27 mpg average every time. Plenty of room, front and back. Huge trunk as well. Overall great car!

  Updated from 09/06 (Bought 05/06) - 2006 Nissan Altima
  By new_to_nissan - June 28 - 12:53 pm

  Few months back put 1200 miles in one trip. This car did not disappoint me for a minute. With 175 hp pick and smooth highway ride, my family felt secure while taking a ride on this car. Honda Accord 2000 as my first car and ended up buying Altima because of wreck. I still love Honda cars but every day when I drive this car, it seems to me that this car is asking me to challenge its ride and handling. Nissan had done well to earn the confidence of drivers like me, mid 30’s young dads who drive responsibly. If you are responsible driver and occasionally drive 5mph or 10 mph over the limit, I will suggest this car. So far it is trouble free.

  Fun car - 2006 Nissan Altima
  By Smooth - May 29 - 2:00 pm

  The Altima is a great mix of style, performance, and reliability. The best thing about the Altima is that it is not the car that everyone else owns like the Accord or Camry. If you need or want a sedan but also do not want to drive Grandmas car, this is definitely a car to consider. It has plenty of power and handles great. After driving and comparing the Altima to its competitors, it simply became the best choice.

  Transmission blew after 30 miles!! - 2006 Nissan Altima
  By wils424 - May 26 - 5:20 pm

  After 30 miles of driving the car (2.5 Special Edition, brand new), the car began jerking and chugging all over the road, revving up to 5000, and was very loud! The dealership claimed it was only a small computer chip that needed replacing. It happened a second time, and then a third time, and when I finally got to 900 miles, the entire transmission blew and needed total replacing! Nissan replaced the transmission but denied my claim for a new car. In the one month Ive owned it, its been in the shop 3 times and Ive been in a rental 3 times! Never once did Corporate Nissan offer me any compensation for my terrible distress. Im now forced to pursue legal action. Its been a nightmare!!

  Was as good in 06 as it was in 02 - 2006 Nissan Altima
  By sdepaiva - May 5 - 2:33 am

  I traded my 2002 3.5 w/sunroof, leather and Bose 6CD changer when my warranty ran out. I bought it in 2004 with 12k on it. Great car, but I wanted the security of the warranty. Was so happy with the 2002, that I bought the same colors in the 2006. I was able to work a great deal. They added a sunroof and leather aftermarket- both are top notch. The only thing Im missing is the Bose. Otherwise, I liked this as well as the first one. Handling, interior appointments and sporty exterior are all there. Very responsive. Super reliable and great gas mileage (24C/29H). Would buy another one! They got rid of the polished pewter color, though. :(

  Best car I have owned yet - 2006 Nissan Altima
  By jhogan - April 17 - 9:43 pm

  Great car. Bought used and love it. Good weight for snow and rain, have had no problems slipping, spinouts, or traction problems. My brother borrowed it and said he almost totaled it in the snow, but he is one of these drivers that drives to fast and to close to other cars. Decent mpg for an engine that is 175 hp. Plenty of pickup for ramps and highway traveling. Enough room for me and the family. With trunk space to spare. Wont be my last Nissan. Good car for the money.

  great car so far - 2006 Nissan Altima
  By erin - April 13 - 2:20 am

  I bought my 2.5 SL used a few months ago after trading in my hummer H3 (i know, big change), and have not been disappointed yet. Fun car to drive, gets great gas mileage. average around 28 mpg. Only problem was 3 days after buying it, came out of a store and the battery was dead. Got a jump and called Nissan and they told us to either call and have it towed in (they would reimburse us), or go buy a battery and they would reimburse us for it, which they did with no problem. Have no problem driving in the rain, car does great but have yet to drive it in the snow... i know thats a big complaint with a lot of people. Has a lot of wind noise in driver side door. Other than that, great car.

  Manual clutch problems - 2006 Nissan Altima
  By Mike - March 19 - 12:30 pm

  Clutch burns out after only 10,000 miles. Nissan disclaims all responsibility and will not cover under warranty. Dealership unwilling to help.
