This Year's Model Updates:

All Altimas receives exterior styling enhancements, including new smoked headlamps and taillights, new wheel designs and a restyled front fascia and grille, along with a much needed interior redesign. The 3.5-liter V6 gets five more horsepower and three more lb-ft of torque, for a total of 250 and 249, respectively, and is now available with a five-speed automatic transmission. A new performance-oriented SE-R model joins the lineup along with a leather-lined 3.5 SL model. A newly optional DVD-based navigation system and two new exterior colors round out the changes.

Pros:
  • Sports car power in a midsize sedan body, excellent handling, roomy and comfortable interior, high level of features, distinctive styling.
Cons:
  • Considerable road noise, overboosted steering, no stability control, ABS still an extra-cost option.

    the car seems to be reliable. when travling at a high speed car does not hold well. the interiro is very spacious. front passenger seatbelt lock to close to the body, its hard to get in.

    I owned SUVs , this is my first car. I thought down sizing would be difficult but with this car I am very impressed. It has a nice ride. The 4cyl is very powerful, cannot tell the difference from the 6 cyl.

    Puts the fun back in driving. Beats the heck out of a Sonata. Classy looks, excellent handling and sufficiently powered by the 4 cylinder engine. Interior is sporty with excellent standard music system, gauges, seats. Nice ride!

    I was looking for a good change in vehicles I saw the 3.5 SE Altima loved the look of the car. Once I drove it I was very impressed of the smoothness of the ride, all of the accessories they have including bose, sunroof, spoiler, and acceleration performance is awesome. So far the car has been perfect - no problems. It was hard for me to make the change but I do not regret it one bit. The interior is also very easy to clean and I like the design the sporty sleek look. Gas mileage on hwy excellent.

    When I bought my Altima in 2004 I actually had to buy a 2005 model, there were no 2004 in all of So. Calif. I am so pleased and happy with this car. The performance is wonderful, the lines of this car are so beautiful. I just hope that they dont change anything on this car for a while. It is perfect.

  • BEST PURCHASE IVE EVER MADE! - 2005 Nissan Altima
    By -

    This car literally rocks my socks. I have fallen in love with Nissans. By far the best made car I have ever owned. Went from a Mazda6 to a Buick Rendezvous and now this Nissan. Very clean and reliable car. Have a blast driving it! Plenty of room for my 7month old daughter and all her belongings. Who says you have to get a mini van after you have a child!?! NISSAN IS THE BEST!!! As well as their luxury end of vehicles (Infinity). Wonderful performance.

  • Tons of fun to drive!! - 2005 Nissan Altima
    By -

    This car is a hoot to drive, its great in turns, accelerates like an F-16 and is decent on gas, considering its a rocket. Original Bridgestones were disappointing, new Yokahamas make it handle much better. Car does have a lot of road noise. Ive had it since new and have had no problems and still enjoy getting in it & driving! A cool car.

  • Lovin My First New Car - 2005 Nissan Altima
    By -

    Car is great!! Very affordable and did not have to deplete my budget. Handles very well. Plenty of leg room front and back. I originally wanted the majestic blue, but ended up with the coral sand. This color is just as good because doesnt show up dirt that bad and can camouflage scratches/nicks as compared to dark colors. I got the Convenience Plus Package w/ mine which inc. sunroof. Love it!! Floor Mats have the Altima Named in them for an added touch. Coral sand also has wood grain inside to give it more appeal and it definitely works!!
