  • Love the Altima - 2006 Nissan Altima
    By -

    I bought my Altima on lease through the great lease special that was on the Altima. Its been a great car. I love the huge trunk, audio controls on the steering wheels and I can squeal tires with the 4-cylinder. That is crazy. I love the features for the price.

  • "A drivers car" - 2006 Nissan Altima
    By -

    I bought the Altima because it is very exciting to drive. There is never a dull moment, even with the four-cylinder. It accelerates very quickly, some would say fast, and I can really FEEL the torque that Nissan has squeezed into the engine. The engine BEGS me to drive it hard and fast and it has a race-car like sound to it when I open it up. The handling is tight, not spectacular in corners, but fun enough and the steering is light and fairly responsive. Overall, the designers of the Altima had performance and excitement in mind, not Camry-like ride quality and comfort. It drives as sporty as it looks and I am so glad I own this car. If you enjoy to drive, give the Altima a look!

    I recently purchased the 2006 special edition Altima.........I just LOVE it!!! A very smooth ride, very comfortable, and handles extremely well. By far the nicest car I have ever owned.

  • Great Car - 2006 Nissan Altima
    By -

    I bought this car in early July and I am still impressed with it. Very fast. Plenty of room for 2 car seats in the back seat. Gas mileage hasnt been the greatest yet, but it hasnt been on a highway for more than 20 miles at a time yet.

  • Smooth Riding Altima - 2006 Nissan Altima
    By -

    I have owned my Nissan Altima for 1 month now. I love it. It has a lot of power for a 4 cyl. It rides very smooth. I love to hear the engine roar on open road. The car is very quiet, you cant hear outside noises. One thing that I do not like is that the arm rest sits back a bit far so you cant rest your arm on it. If the car is not warmed up completely it jerks once you start going. Once warmed up, I have no problems. I only noticed that when I start out first thing. But, besides the cold jerking and the armrest. Its worth it. I bought it for reliability and I have always wanted to own a Altima. Nice Pick up, just as fast as the Malibu. Nice styling.

  • Affordable Dream Car - 2006 Nissan Altima
    By -

    This car is quick, out performs small V8s and almost every other NA V6 on the market. Stylish, comfortable, High resale value, rare (only made it 05 and 06), great gas mileage for a V6. Fully loaded. And I bought it used, with a Nissan Certified Pre-Owned warranty that was longer than the original Nissan warranty. Super satisfied!!!

  • Reliable and fun to drive - 2006 Nissan Altima
    By -

    I just bought one with 46k miles on it. I was happy to find that it still has plenty of power. I took it on a 7 hour road trip and enjoyed how easily I could pass other cars on the highway. It also gets pretty decent gas mileage for the size of the engine. The handling could be better, it feels heavy in turns. A little disappointed with the sound system. Overall a comfortable and capable vehicle.

  • Excellent - 2006 Nissan Altima
    By -

    I brought my 2006 Altima 2.5 S last year with 76000km on the clock, now it is just off 100000km. So far Im impressed. Its been 100% reliable and great to drive. Its not a ground breaking car but I like it, and look forward to driving it every day. I would have purchased the 3.5 had I been able to, but the 2.5 has enough guts to make it fun to drive. If I could change anything about it Id make the engine and transmission a bit smoother, and put more feel in the steering. I would completely recommend this car. When I eventually sell it I will almost definitely be buying the 2007 onwards model.
