  • Nissan vs. Honda - 2006 Nissan Altima
    By -

    I bought Nissan Altima, 2.5 S with ABS, after 2 weeks of new car research. I had Honda Accord EX 2000 V4 that I lost in a wreck, around 30mph, Accord stood well in a wreck though. I drove almost 2 weeks rental Accord 2005 LX. As compared to Honda Accords this car has smoother ride in the city and highway. More room lengthwise and equally wide as Accord 05. It is little early to tell about the noise on highway but it has not bothered me much at this time. In city this car is smoother and quieter ride than Accord. May have more to tell about noise in next 6 or 7 month. With low APR, May 06, this was the only car that gave the best value of my money.

  • Love It!! - 2006 Nissan Altima
    By -

    I was in the market for a new car and was able to pick this up from a friend that deals in used cars. I purchased it with 3200 miles on it, which makes it practically new. Absolutely love it! Very peppy for a 4 cyl. Great room and comfort. Quiet and handles like a dream. Classy looking and looks like a much more expensive car.

  • My 4th Nissan - 2006 Nissan Altima
    By -

    Having owned a 1984 Stanza, 1992 Stanza and 1997 Infiniti, this new Altima has not disappointed. Ride comfort and handling are excellent and the 4 cyl accelerates like a 6 cyl. Looking forward to the reliability and the cheap insurance price.

  • Same Book, Chapter Two - 2006 Nissan Altima
    By -

    Prior car was 05 Altima 3.5SE. Both provided great performance, plenty of room, decent to good fuel mileage, great reliability and trouble free operation. Both exhibited weak front suspension, poor dash lighting in radio display,some noticeable flex in body or chassis when under higher passenger loads. Would buy another.

  • Buy This Car - 2006 Nissan Altima
    By -

    This is my first Nissan Altima and I love this car. I like the looks for the price especially the rear tail lights and trunk deck. It looks like a Mercedes from the back. I picked White. This cost extra although Im not sure why. There are fewer white ones around and no color looks better clean than white. Handles great, good gas mileage, great 6 speaker 100 watt stereo. This car gets looks. Lots of room inside and Im 62. I highly recommend this car.

  • The Real Deal - 2006 Nissan Altima
    By -

    I just bought a new Altima. It is really a great drive, now that I have it in gear. Okay, so I thought 3D was drive, didnt realize for the first 3 weeks I was driving in 3rd gear. Okay, confession two, I was going to return it because it didnt feel like I thought a new car should. Finally, put it in drive for real this time; and oh my goodness. The drive of my life. This car is a different ride than my 2000 Altima. totally different car.

  • Number 2 - 2006 Nissan Altima
    By -

    I had a 2005 that I bought used at the end of 2005. Traded that one in for an 2006 because of the wonderful deal I got from Ferman Nissan. As a previous Nissan Maxima owner, owning a 91, 97, 2002 I went from the norm and went to an Altima 1 for price and two the difference is no longer worth spending the extra $3000 on a Maxima. While its is not as classy as a Maxima it does deliver excellent performace and Nissan reliability. Over all th4 car is steal for what you get yes you ca get into other cars like an Acura TSX for a base BMW 325i(and I dare you to find one) Besides maybe an base Infinti G35 6mt it is the most car your gonna get for the money

  • Fun and comfortable - 2006 Nissan Altima

    the second one that I have owned along with a 2004 Quest which is also a gem in the rough....

  • Elegant and Fuel Efficient! - 2006 Nissan Altima
    By -

    I needed a classy car with fuel efficiency for my Real Estate Business. With the Altima, I have it all! Its very roomy, handles well, and so far I get about 26 miles to the gallon! I read about, "road noises," in consumers comments, but I have to disagree. I have a Mini-Cooper... Now thats ROAD NOISE!!! This does not compare. This is a, "Must Buy!" You get Top Design for a reasonable Price. Good Luck with your car shopping! ~Val~

  • Bought a used Altima that had 150k on it. - 2006 Nissan Altima
    By -

    The vehicle its great to drive every day the stock stereo is clear and has good sound. Upgraded air cleaner helps with mileage and performance. I really like this car for my daily commute. Has room in back for 2 car seats with the center console down.
