Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2007	4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD	Average 23mph on the HWY with a 4cyl and 175HP! Enough said... see full Nissan Altima review
2007	4dr Sedan 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD	Fuel economy is not bad, but with gas approaching 4 dollars a gallon, and Nissan recommending premium fuel, it still hurts a bit. Update: I just burned my first tank of regular and could tell no difference at all. (No premium or midgrade available.) see full Nissan Altima review
2005	4dr Sedan 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	In this time of high gas prices a 4 cylinder would be a wiser choice see full Nissan Altima review
