  1/2 price Beamer - 2006 Nissan Altima
  By MJ - June 26 - 1:00 am

  20 MPG in city and 30 on Highway, 3,000 RPM at 80 MPH. comfortable for 5. Special Edition Package great bargain. Sun roof works smoothly and quiet. Fun car to drive. Wish it would have been a 6 speed in 2006.

  Screwed up on the door handles - 2006 Nissan Altima
  By Newy - June 24 - 2:50 am

  A beautiful car that is fun to drive and hard to catch! Just one thing, it is so hard to reach out to close the doors in the front once you are seated. They should have put a handle closer to the middle of the door.

  By tom - June 21 - 9:46 am

  this is the second new nissan ALTIMA that I have purchased. I loved my first one in 1998, still have it with over 300,000 miles on it. I just purchased a new ALTIMA 2006 about a month ago and love it. Nissan has earned my loyalty and they deserve it.

  Beautiful Car - Roomy, Stylish, Reliable - 2006 Nissan Altima
  By MC2006 - May 30 - 5:16 pm

  This is a great car. I love the handling and power it has for a sedan. Very quiet inside (very little to no outside noise). Roomy and comfortable with lots of storage compartments. Nice interior. Bought it used in 07 and have had no problems. Also, I get very good mileage to the gallon.

  Excellent Choice - 2006 Nissan Altima
  By Tara Rose Campbell - May 14 - 8:43 pm

  I love my Altima. The features inside and out are outstanding. It is a very comfortable, strong ride. Lots of power for a 4 cyl engine. Majestic Blue color is awesome! I went from a Ford Expedition to this vehicle. Great decision. The gas mileage is also great. The Altima is by far the best vehicle I have had. Thanks to Jim Burke Nissan for giving me a great deal! Thanks to my Uncle Burnis for advising me on my choice.

  Not too bad for a family sedan - 2006 Nissan Altima
  By LLKoolNurse - May 2 - 11:26 pm

  I havent had my car a year yet but its a nice one gets great fuel economy and mileage. I bought the 2.5S with the special edition package so it has lots of power extras that i love. Ive seen some of the other reviews and I havent had the problems some speak about. This is a dependable family car. Good for a single parent or college student that wants style. I visited my sister in Miami, Fl and they really hook these up down there which gave me some ideas. only thing is in the winter I have to take my chrome rims off because of he snow and salt on the roads other wise .

  Perfect car for first time new car buyer - 2006 Nissan Altima
  By Matt - April 2 - 9:13 am

  I bought this car when I was 18 as a left over brand new. Its my first new car and I have it for 11 months now without a single problem. Fuel mileage is amazing. I dont think Ive ever had under 25mpg in the city which is rare for a car of this size. 5-speed is almost to easy to drive. I think this is a perfect car for anyone who wants to buy new affordable car but doesnt want a compact.

  Overall ok car - 2006 Nissan Altima
  By JENSRQ - March 24 - 6:30 pm

  I drive mainly in city and on the interstate and have averaged 24.9 mpg since Ive owned it. It doesnt handle well in rain - tires spin. The trunk always seems to bonk me on the head when Im putting stuff in the trunk. Both side mirrors have had the trim fall off - once by closing the door and once in a car wash! I had a big piece of trim fly off the underside of the car too. Every time I pull into a parking spot with a curb, the underside is so low it scrapes. The brakes have whistled since shortly after purchase and I had the "dust" removed once at the dealership for $300 (not covered by warranty!) and within a month it was happening again - doesnt seem to affect performance.
