Overview & Reviews
The 2013 Nissan Altima sedan has been fully redesigned. The exterior and interior are completely new, with a focus on a more upscale look and feel throughout. Important engineering revisions markedly improve fuel economy, particularly for four-cylinder models, while updated suspension and steering designs maintain the Altima's reputation as one of the market's best-handling family sedans. The coupe remains mechanically unchanged, but loses its optional V6 and is reduced to only a single 2.5 S trim level.
- User-friendly electronics

- Smooth and quiet ride
- Rewarding handling
- Comfortable front seats
- Solid interior quality.

Cvt Problems Nissian says cannot correct. BEWARE - 2013 Nissan Altima
By harryo3 - May 18 - 8:11 pmGreat driving car. Handles well and is quiet inside EXCEPT for transmission noise at low rpms. Do not buy this car until Nissan gets the cvt problem corrected. My 2013 has been in shop 5 times in 5 months. Want to trade in but the cvt noise scares buyers away. Hard to believe Nissan cannot correct the problem or maybe they may think it will be to costly for them. The None return of nissan customers will be felt in future cars made by them.

Beautiful but with one major flaw - 2013 Nissan Altima
By acoustic58 - April 18 - 1:44 pmBought the new 2013 Altima SL. Beautiful inside and out but with one major flaw. The noise level inside the cabin on the 4 cylinder during acceleration is beyond what a new car should be. Nissan promotes this car as quiet which is a long way from reality. I had this car back to the dealer a few times and Nissan also sent out a National Rep. and after replacing a couple parts, on a brand new car, I was told that the noise I am hearing is normal. Its amazing that when the engine drone on acceleration is so loud that I have to turn up the radio to not hear it is considered normal. Its really a shame that Nissan overlooked this problem because its a beautiful car.

This is the car - 2013 Nissan Altima
By Cody heape - March 29 - 11:39 pmThis is a very awesome car! The gas mileage is great. It only takes 30 to fill it up and last me about 2 weeks. On the highway it drive very smoothly and steering isnt to touchy. I even love the looks of the car! The interior is super nice and clean. Was kept up to date. Id give this all 5 stars but one tire was flat and has a slow leak

Comfortable & good to look at, but thats it. - 2013 Nissan Altima
By gski1 - March 5 - 4:26 pmNissan pushed this car out too quick IMO. Replaced my totaled 2012 without hesitation as it was perfect (final year before the 13 redesign). Less than a year old and 15 different warranty repairs, 30+ visits to the stealership. Moonroof rattles constantly, removed and reassembled, then completely replaced along with windshield and headliner. Still rattles, filed lemon law, pending buy back. Beware, wait for 2014 and still wait for reviews on that model to come out.

Great Car - 2013 Nissan Altima
By husker14 - March 2 - 10:08 pmPurchased the 2013 Altima 2.5.SL a week ago. So far the car exceeded all my expectations. Traded in a 2007 Camry Hybrid and very pleased with over all MPG (33.8), only 1 MPG less than the hybrid. Altima also drives much better than the Camry with a very solid feel and tighter steering response. I highly recommend this vehicle to anyone in the market for a midsize sedan. My only complaint is there is no compartment to store loose change.

awful - 2013 Nissan Altima
By julie glazer - February 8 - 4:25 amworst car I have ever owned. Garbage! Extremely loud cabin and cvt. Handles poorly in the rain and is very uncomfortable to get in and out of especially for older people. Overall, garbage. The moonroof leaked the first time I drove thru the car wash and their solution was to hand wash. Never but Nissan, total garbage!

Real Clunker - 2013 Nissan Altima
By JasonE - January 16 - 2:12 amNothing but constant repairs with no support from Nissan. I bought this car three years ago and my entire dashboard just went out. I took it into the dealership and they told me I was three months out of warranty and stuck me with a $1000 repair bill. Nissan wont claim responsibility for the defect even though having your speedometer go out in the middle of driving is clearly a safety issue.

Kudos to Edmunds - 2013 Nissan Altima
By new_style - December 29 - 1:21 pmUsing the pricing information and buying advice on Edmunds.com I purchased a 2013 Altima SV with the convenience package/wheel locks/lojack/floor mats for the crazy low price of $23,967 out the door (included taxes and all fees). True Value Price was $24,251 before taxes, Dealer fees, and DMV fees. If there was a photo option I would post it because I couldnt believe it either. I did have to walk out on one of the dealerships that said they could match the price but they dinked around for an hour offering me less equipped cars...so I left. Dont hesitate to leave...stick to your guns. If I had given in on that they would have back peddled on everything else.
