Overview & Reviews
A clean-sheet redesign for 2007 produces a Nissan Altima that boasts an available 270-horsepower V6, a new continuously variable transmission (CVT) and a roomy cabin that's much improved in terms of overall materials quality.
- Strong performance from V6 models, smooth and responsive CVT, attractive cabin design with quality materials, generous interior room front and rear.

2.5SL is a great Maxima Replacement - 2007 Nissan Altima
By Mike - March 13 - 4:33 pmAfter 9 years in my 97 Maxima GLE, I thought I wanted an Acura TL or TSX, but the premium fuel requirement and stiff ride put me off. My dealer had a 2 yr. old red 2.5SL with blonde interior and I was sold. So far I really like it - lots of nice features - dual climate control, rear A/C vent, compass/autodimming/Homelink rear view mirror, manual shift mode, steering wheel audio controls. The on-center feel/highway tracking doesnt seem to be as good as the Maxima, but it drives very well. I miss the quality of the Bose stereo and the lateral support in the drivers seat during corners. Mileage is quite good so far and it pulls very strongly. Quite a chg from my wifes 2001 Altima GXE!!

Altima - 2007 Nissan Altima
By Altima - February 23 - 9:13 pmI was considering the Camry and Altima. After test driving, the Altima was the hands down winner. With just over 1k Im averging 27 mpg. The 4 cylinder has plenty of power.

This aint so bad... - 2007 Nissan Altima
By Larry - February 8 - 9:26 amAfter reading a few reviews, I dont understand many of the complaints--this car is not so bad. Weve had it for two months now, and it is a fun, stylish, well-performing car with lots of room. And we also have a C5 vette and a Mustang GT to compare to. Handling and acceleration are very good, and noise level is better than the BMW 735 we had. Unfortunately the in-town gas mileage is about as bad as the GT, ~17 mpg--the vette gets 19-20! And the GT suspension is much less comfortable than the Altima. In comparison buying, it was impossible to get a Honda in the colors and options we wanted, Toyota doesnt have a V6+MT, and the others were too $$. Plus we got $2500 off MSRP.

Beware of the CVT transmission - 2007 Nissan Altima
By Kevin1964 - January 18 - 10:00 amCar was very reliable right up until the 36k warranty ran out. Now the car at 40,000 miles needs a new transmission. Nissan will not pay for a rental car, which I feel I shouldnt have to pay. So far customer service when having problems will cause me to never buy another Nissan again. To be fair car gets great gas mileage, fairly comfortable, did perform pretty well up until transmission died. Research the CVT transmission problems before you buy!

Interesting new model - 2007 Nissan Altima
By bigbearsfan - August 30 - 11:03 pmThis is a great car. It is very close to Honda/Toyota levels of fit and finish. My 3.5SE has the Sport Package and an auto dimming mirror. The interior is nicely styled and the instrument cluster is very bright and easy to read with good radio and HVAC controls. The seats are well shaped though they are a little hard and dont offer a lumber adjustment. The ride and handling compromise is great; it handles very well without punishing you when you hit a bump. Overall, reliability should be on par with Honda/Toyota. This is a great contender in the midsize category. I highly recommend this car if you dont want to overspend on a Toyota or Honda; their dealers who dont ever offer deals.

Great bang for the buck - 2007 Nissan Altima
By Rayd - June 23 - 10:30 amYou will not find an auto that looks better, more horse power, and overall good dynamics for the money. I can complain about things like the position of the emerg brake or the lack of lumbar support, but HEY at this pricepoint?!?

Disappointing Fuel Mileage - 2007 Nissan Altima
By jimbo - November 10 - 7:10 amMost of my driving is around town. The fuel mileage I am getting is very disappointing. On average I drive 270 miles on 17 gallons of gas. The equates to 15/16 miles to the gallon. Whether I drive the car manual or automatic I get the same results. The manufacture states 23 miles around town. Highway I am not sure of. I bought the car thinking the milage around would be good. Disappointed.

Hoping for the best - Beware of catalytic converter - 2007 Nissan Altima
By ams5db - November 8 - 10:31 pmI bought a 2007 Altima 2.5S 4-cyl from a private seller in July 2011. It had 117,000 miles on it, mostly highway. The car was in great condition and I even had it inspected at a shop before buying it. About five days after driving it, the check engine light came on. I thought there couldnt possibly be something wrong with it already, so I manually turned the light off and waited...two weeks later, it was on again. The catalytic converter was the problem and I had it cleaned out, but was told that it still may need to be replaced. Everything was fine for about 3 months, but the CE light just came on again at 121,000 miles. I dont want the engine to get ruined, so Ill have to fix it asap.

Drift Issues - 2007 Nissan Altima
By Strick - November 6 - 10:30 amIve written one review already after owning the car for a couple days. Its now been 2 months. I have to say overall not a bad car but having driven it 2000 miles now I am concerned about drift. Even with no winds the car tends to drift especially at higher speeds (65 plus). And the drift is sudden left or sudden right. Sometimes it can be quiet alarming. Ive never owned another car that did this. Could be just mine. Going to the dealer next week to get suspension and steering looked at but be careful and pay attention to the test drive before buying and if you already bought like me then pay attention and get it looked at if needed
