  Recently Purchased My 2016 Altima 2.5 SR - 2016 Nissan Altima
  By Chris G - September 29 - 8:16 pm

  I purchased the vehicle on 6/25/16 and so far so good! Love the car, love the ride comfort, very roomy/spacious. Also test drove the 3.5 SR but decided to go with the better fuel economy. The 2.5 is has a bit more road noise at higher speeds, but nothing horrible. Will probably try a different set of tires when the time comes to see if it makes a difference. It has good acceleration and the car handles better than I expected. Love the new SR package with the sporty wheels, rear spoiler and interior (interior stitching is a nice touch). Still getting used to the Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), but I can see how it helps with fuel economy. I also considered the Honda Accord Sport model and the Mazda 6 Touring, but I couldnt beat the overall comfort and value with the Altima. I went ahead and bit the bullet and purchased the extended warranty so the car is covered for 6yrs/100,000 miles. I plan on keeping the vehicle for the life of the loan so I wanted to have trouble free driving.. 1st oil change is free and then just $10 thereafter. Ive only driving about 1000 miles so far so I will try to write some more reviews as the miles keep adding up, but as I mentioned before.. so far so good!

  2016 Nissan Altima SV - First Month of Ownership - 2016 Nissan Altima
  By dfwscott - June 6 - 9:57 pm

  I will say up front that I went with a Nissan primarily because I have a cousin who works at a local Nissan dealership, but I havent regretted my decision to buy this car. This is the nicest car Ive ever owned. I think the SV model could be the best value in an Altima since you get some wonderful safety features (including rear-cross traffic alert and blind spot alerts) along with some nice upgrade options like dual-zone climate control and the power drivers seat with lumbar. Mine also has the navigation package and the sunroof. While I do hear some road and engine noise in this car, I feel its quiet enough inside because I can have conversations at normal levels. The front seats are amazingly comfortable. As for acceleration, its a bit slow off the line, but theres plenty of power in the 4-cylinder model for my needs. It feels solidly planted on the road and I feel safe in it. All in all, it looks sharp inside and out -- it has a great Cayenne Red paint job -- and Ive enjoyed my time with it. Plus, the gas mileage is terrific. In the past, Ive gone about 6-7 days on a tank of gas, but I can go up to 10 days on a tank of gas with this car.

  Much better options on the market than this car - 2016 Nissan Altima
  By Michael S. - October 6 - 10:53 pm

  I recently rented the Altima and drive it for 5 days. I will start with the good parts of the car. The CVT transmission is smooth and the engine power is adequate. The trunk size is a decent and seats were ok for long drives. The fuel mileage was excellent. Now for the negatives. The interior of the car is just cheap. There are lots of hard plastics everywhere. The nobs feel cheap, and I dont see it holding up. The driving dynamics of the car was horrible. I felt that I had to always make corrections going down a straight highway. The transitions badly needs to be reprogrammed as it always feel like it is in too high of a gear at lower speeds which makes the engine on the verge of stall. I am sure this was done to drive better fuel economy. I just dont know why someone would buy this car or a similarly price Honda Accord which is like a luxury car compared to the Altima.

  BEWARE!! .. SV Daytime Running Lights do not work! - 2016 Nissan Altima
  By B. Clark - August 4 - 2:58 pm

  The list of 2016 Altima SV Standard Equipment in Nissan Literature includes "Daytime Running Lights". Even though the lights are installed near the headlights, they DO NOT WORK!! I called the Nissan Consumer "Care" line. Their response.. "use your fog lights instead" .. turns out they know the lights dont work and THEY REALLY DONT "CARE". I am now making an appeal to the BBB Auto Line claiming fraud. I understand my chances are remote.. but Im upset. If you are looking at the 2016 Nissan Altima SV, make sure the sales person demonstrates that the mounted daytime running lights really work.

  This car is a winner - 2016 Nissan Altima
  By Diane Pain - May 21 - 6:42 am

  I priced my car using Edmunds.com; this helped to get me the car at an excellent price. It is everything I have been looking for in a car: comfortable and fuel-efficient.

  Beware something is up with the Nissan Altima - 2016 Nissan Altima
  By mccd04 - February 9 - 2:37 am

  I parked my new Nissan in my daughters driveway and took a couple of items into her house, I cam back out to get the rest and my car was gone. I look around and see it sitting in the neighbors yard across the street in their bushes. I walk across the street open the car and push the button to start it and move it back in the driveway and this time I set the parking brake. I immediately call the dealership and get told to bring it in for them to look at. After the dealership having my car for a month which is longer than I had it before this happening they tell me they cant find anything wrong and for me just to always set my parking brake but when it happens again to not move the vehicle just call them immediately and they will come get the car. They also told me that most likely the car wasnt all the way in PARK thus it rolled across the street and hit the neighbors bushes and because when a Nissan Altima hits something the transmission automatically puts the car in Neutral that is why I was able to start it without it being in PARK. Initial questions from the dealership were 1. When I got back in the car did I have to shift gears before starting it. NO 2 Did I recall hearing anything when I opened the car door. NO . Problem I have with this logic after getting my car back I ran a series of tests. 1. No matter what gear I have the car in other than park it keeps beeping and flashes a message to put car in park. 2. I have reached out to several friends who are mechanics to find out if its the truth that when in a collision that in the Nissan Altima the transmission really gets put into Neutral(of course I dont want to intentionally hit something to see if it is true or not). To be noted also I have numerous friends and family and this is my third Nissan Altima and this is the first safety issue I have had but to me it is a big one. I will say one of my 2014 Nissan Altimas did have an issue with the entire console constantly going out sometimes for a few minutes sometimes for a day after 18 months and over 12 visits at the shop they replaced it but after a little bit it started doing it all over again which is why I traded it in June for the 2016 because I was tired of constantly having to spend half a day at the car dealership why they tried to repair my car.

  My SL is sure luxery - 2016 Nissan Altima
  By Tom Brown - December 26 - 9:32 am

  After owning 5 Camrys decided to jump ship based upon the appearance as well lack of comparable features of the 2013 model year. This of course carries over to the 2016 as well. We liked our 2013 Altima and now own a 2016 Altima, which we like even better if thats possible. Our concerns about the 2013 have all been addressed with this model years refresh. Way to go Nissan you listened to your customers and made the necessary changes. We really hadnt intended on buying another Altima due to the fact it basically looks like our 2013, but after checking out the competition and being able to get the features that we wanted at a price we could afford, the refreshed Altima made it an easy choice.
