  • 2008 Nissan Altima - nice car - 2008 Nissan Altima
    By -

    First let me say I love this car. I have had 4 weeks now and it is fun to drive. My only problem with it is that the Nav and phone have most of their features disabled when the car is moving. Its a car, these features should work while you are in it. I am now forced to fumble with my phone if I want to make a call, that is precisely the reason I bought a car with bluetooth, so I could be safe and not have to do this while the car was moving. In order to access your phone book the car must be stopped. In order to pick a new destination you have to stop the car, please make it so the passenger can operate the toys

  • From SUV to Car - LOVING IT! - 2008 Nissan Altima
    By -

    I traded in my SUV for a small car after gas started to rapidly rise...wasnt convinced Id love the new car, but did it anyway to save money. Best thing I have done in a long time! My Altima is much more spacious than it looks and gets awesome gas mileage. I average 34 MPG on my daily commute. I have recommended to many of my friends and family who are complaining of the gas prices.

  • 2008 Nissan Altima 2.5 SL - 2008 Nissan Altima
    By -

    Bought this car to replace my Xterra. I drove it from Houston, TX to Fort Walton Beach, FL and only had to refill the tank one time and still had 3/4 of a tank left when I reached my destination! Very quiet in the cabin. The Bose system sounds great. Love the dual climate control and heated seats. I recommend if you get the sunroof NOT to get a wind deflector because there is one already built into the car that pops up when the sunroof is opened.

  • 3.5 SE with CVT - 2008 Nissan Altima
    By -

    This is my first Nissan and my first CVT (other than a snowmobile). I had planned to get the Accord after trading in my Toyota Corolla since cutting my commuting distance. After researching and driving many different cars, I went for the base 3.5 SE for looks, features and I was impressed with the engine and CVT. After about 1000 miles, I can say the car is great, and I have no regrets. I would buy the same car again.

  • Made the Right Choice! - 2008 Nissan Altima
    By -

    I shopped around for the past 8 months, trying to decide between the Camry SE V6, Accord EX V6, or the Altima 3.5 SE Sedan. I ran the numbers, test drove all three and made it a point to get opinions from owners of each of them. From all of my research, I finally purchased the Altima the other day and can say that I have made the right choice! This car is amazing, CVT is smooth as silk, engine has loads of power, interior quality is top notch and so far I am getting excellent gas mileage.

  • Love it! - 2008 Nissan Altima
    By -

    Ive always driven Nissans. My last car was a Maxima, but I fell in love with the look of this Altima. The keyless entry is awesome especially when dealing with small children so you can have an extra hand rather than fumbling around looking for a key. I never thought Id go from a V6 to a 4 cyl but the ride is real smooth and it still gets pretty good pick up. Havent had any problems and never did with any Nissan I had. I put some chrome rims and grills on it and get compliments all the time on it. Im definitely happy inside and out!!

  • Great Car - 2008 Nissan Altima
    By -

    Very enjoyable car to drive. Quick, corners well, Premium Package adds lots of luxury touches. Looks amazing and you do not see thousands of them on the road. I cannot believe Edmunds likes the Accord Coupe better, my family and I saw one the other day and nobody liked the looks of it at all.

  • I Love My Niss! - 2008 Nissan Altima
    By -

    I came across the fact of needing a new car, school commuter. Im very picky when choosing stuff that Ill invest my money on, specially a vehicle! I went around lots of dealers trying to find a car that would meet my expectations and most of all, fit my budget! I test drove the New Accord, Civic, CRV, Toyota Camry, VW passat & jetta and even the new Nissan Rogue, I wasnt even thinking about getting an Altima. I went to the dealership on a saturday morning and ended up spending 4 hrs getting info on the new altima. I test drove and let me tell you, I couldnt b happier! I fell in love with the car in an instant! Ive had it for 2 months n have no regrets! I love my 08 sedan!

  • Awesome Car - 2008 Nissan Altima
    By -

    I have been using this car since 3 months. Its really an awesome car and its a good compromise between cost, quality and reliability. Test drove Accord and Camry. Finally chose Altima as I liked the design and CVT. I am proud I made good choice and I love to drive this car. Especially you dont feel any speed impacts though the vehicle runs at 80 - 90 MPH. Im sure Nissan engines are pretty famous for reliability. Its overall a good reliable car for a reasonable price.

  • Best Car I Ever HAd - 2008 Nissan Altima
    By -

    I bought this car about two years ago and it is still fun to drive. The suspension is sporty and it really shocks people at the "get up and go" it has. I put on an nismo exhaust and cold air intake and it sounds aggressive and just down right mean. Plus it really helps with the mpg, i love the keyless entry and the push button start. I would 100% advice people to look in to this car. I looked at the camry and accord i just didnt feel the same amount of excitement i do from my altima. All around great car
