Overview & Reviews

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.

• Sports car power in a midsize sedan body, excellent handling, roomy and comfortable interior, high level of features, distinctive styling.

• Considerable road noise, overboosted steering, no stability control, ABS still an extra-cost option.

  Great car, very minor annoyances - 2005 Nissan Altima
  By JHall - January 1 - 4:20 am

  Was surprised with the power from the 2.5L 4banger. Went from an old 4.9L Cadillac to the Altima and am not disappointed, even with slight drop in pick-up. It is comfortable and stylish without a giant pricetag. Leasing option was cheap! Car has some very minor issues with comfort and accessories, but has been great mechanically and the ride is pretty smooth.

  Aggressive Styling - 2005 Nissan Altima
  By Sacramento SDV - December 31 - 7:13 pm

  I knew I was going to get an Altima but didnt quite know which model. Cost was a major concern so I initially wanted the 2.5 with sports package. After some thinking I decided to go with the 3.5 SE because who can so no to 250 horses? I thought the SE-R was out of my price range but its awesome test drive and aggressive looks begged to differ. After more consideration I chose the SE- R. I figured it was worth the extra dollars a month to get a vehicle that has all that you want with a truly UNIQUE look.

  I love my Altima! - 2005 Nissan Altima
  By Angelena - December 24 - 2:50 pm

  I love this car! I really made the right choice. Its classy w/out being too pricy, and with this new gas gouging that were going thorugh Im relieved to know that my car gets abou 28 MPG on the freeway. I have a fear of cars breaking down, and Im so happy to say that Ive never had a problem with my car, its an absolute dream.

  This car is a blast to drive. Handles like a small car but with lots of space. Leather seats are comfortable. Four cylinder provides plenty of power for me. Receiver works well. I love this car.

  Solid as you can get - 2005 Nissan Altima
  By Patrick - December 5 - 6:26 pm

  This is a great car. Got the black on black and for the price nothing comes close to feeling as nice. Ive owned a car from all three of the big Jap companies and while the Lexus is the best of the three the Altima is second and way ahead of the Accord.

  Wolf in Sheeps Clothing - 2005 Nissan Altima
  By David - November 4 - 12:26 am

  What a fun car to drive, From the response of the gas pedal, the stability of the suspension, and the comfort and support of the sport bucket seats I look forward to jumping into the drivers seat each and every day. The car comes stock with all the after market goodies you can expect to pay big time money for. The dash is nicely laid out and the stereo produces sound that is incomparable. The seating in the rear is comfy and spacious, through the car in sixth gear on the highway and expect to get 35mpg. I couldnt ask for more in a car. Good job Nissan.

  The best car I have ever owned - 2005 Nissan Altima
  By Kris918 - October 23 - 10:00 am

  I had a 2002 Nissan Pathfinder which I had nothing but problems with. I went to Riverhead Automall and I fell in love with the Altima, I get easily over 400 miles to a tank of gas. The car is comfortable to drive and feels like you in a cadillac! At first I was scared going back to driving a car , after owning my Altima for 3 months i would not trade for any SUV.
