  Overall great experience. - 2008 Nissan Altima
  By ckeegan - October 28 - 1:56 am

  Ive had about 10 weeks and 3,623 miles in my fully loaded 3.5SE. Overall, let me just say that I love my Altima. After A LOT of research (spreadsheets comparing mpg, leg room, head room, insurance costs, etc), I know I made the right decision. The 3.5 receives outstanding marks by Ward’s Best Engines. Performance is exceptional, and the CVT took getting used to, but now I have trouble going back to a normal auto. The Altima is comfortable, and has great front leg room, and rear leg room exceeds my ’03 Accord, the BMW 5-series, and MB E-Class. I have averaged 21.8mpg city, and 29.4mpg hwy on a 1,152 mile trip (I dont drive slow). This means more room, mpg, and power than the E350 or 528i.

  Great sedan. Without transmission delay and with the powerful 2.5l engines drive, its really a great experience for a driver. Lots of fun, all of my family loves it: toddler, husband, wife. We really love it.

  Excellent Car - 2008 Nissan Altima
  By Great Value - September 14 - 2:50 am

  Very sporty, fast, comfortable, and extremely fun to drive. Perfect blend of speed, power, and agility. This car will make your heart pump on the highway, and look professional in the office parking lot. The technology package is worth the additional money. The seats are comfortable and provide many different options, its a spacious car, and reasonably quiet. The shifting is smoother than any car Ive been in. Bottom line for the features and reliability you get, there is no other car that can match the price. I am so happy with my Altima.

  Fell in love at first sight - 2008 Nissan Altima
  By Mary - September 13 - 12:26 am

  Have had 2 Nissan Maximas and was ready to turn in my lease for a 4 door Altima 2007. When I saw the 2 dr coupe, I fell in love at first sight. The car is awesome on gas which was exactly what I needed (driving 6 cyl Max for ten years). Not as spacious as the Max, however still comfortable and fun to drive. To date, have only seen 5 on the road... cool! Have been stopped by people on the road wondering what model it is. Truly love the car!

  Nissan Altima...SMH - 2008 Nissan Altima
  By soa - August 31 - 10:50 am

  My 2008 Nissan Altima has been out of commission for a month! At first I thought I needed new spark plugs, but found out that one of the cylinders needed to be replaced. Mind you if only has 67k miles on it. Took it to the dealership and they could figure out what was wrong with the engine and wanted to replace it. Ive been back and forth with them for a month now and Im tired as heck! I found out that other consumers have been having the same engine issues and there is a class action suit building in California. Honestly, I think the consumers need to all get together and sue the pants off of them for not correcting this problem. Lest we forget Toyota ? Im not trying to be a causalty!!!!

  Best for your money!! - 2008 Nissan Altima
  By krissy - August 31 - 2:10 am

  I previously leased an 05 Altima 2.5S and absolutely loved that car. I was a little nervous about leasing the 08, hoping that they knocked all the kinks of the new model out. This car truly is awesome!! They bumped up the safety features by making side curtain air bags and ABS brakes standard. I now have 8 speakers instead of 6, dont let the stock fool you. Plug in your iPod and the car is amazingly loud, dont need any kickers here!!!! CVT is really nice, no kick backs or sudden jolts, just nice and smooth. Ive only had the car for a few weeks so the MPG arent too great but hopefully in the future it will be better.

  Great - 2008 Nissan Altima
  By altimacpe08 - August 27 - 3:46 am

  This is definitely the best car I test drove and finally bought. There is nothing I dont like about the car. Comparing this car to the Mazda6, Dodge Avenger/Charger and Audi4, this car blows them away with style and performance. Even though I have the V4 for CVT, I feel more power driving this than in any Acura or just any car I have driven. Easily said, Nissan has made a car that will be a collectors item in the years ahead.

  So nice but, an important detail - 2008 Nissan Altima
  By GioP - August 15 - 10:00 am

  The car has performed very well since I bought it brand new in 2008, except for the brakes which Ive reported in all my service visits, 4 in total from north Texas dealers until the last one in north California. Brakes do have a sound like scraping metal but dealers havent been able to fix it.

  Best Mid Size 4 cyl Car out there!! - 2008 Nissan Altima
  By Ed from Orlando - August 9 - 7:03 pm

  This is my third Nissan (95 Altima and 06 350Z). I have owned three Accords (86, 93 & 03). The 2008 Altima is by far the most practical, good looking and balanced car I have ever bought! We looked at the Camry, Accord and the Altima. I went back and forth about three time between Accord & Altima. Altima was selected due to the outside styling, performance, gas mileage, Intelligent Key, simple Interior & Timing chain = less maint cost.

  Rough Ride - 2008 Nissan Altima
  By Don - July 26 - 10:53 am

  Bought our Altima 2.5SL in may. I am satisfied with the mileage we are getting 21 city 35 hwy with avg. hwy speed of about 63 mph. This is a great car so far but they need to improve the ride. It is very rough if the road is not smooth. I would also suggest that you get the connection package which I wish I had done. I also like the lifetime power train warranty.
