Nissan Altima nice looking affordable car, but you get what you pay for! 2015 Nissan Altima Pros and Cons heardjasonl The engine is powerful enough to get the car moving even with the AC on. It doesn't accelerate like a typical 4 cylinder. |

2014 Nissan Altima Pros and Cons Member4278 CVT is a love hate relationship for most. I grew up with 4/5 speed auto slushboxes from Acuras and Fords of the early 90's and most will say they want to feel the car shift to the next gear. Until I came to the Altima CVT. For a 2.5 cylinder... |

Could be good with any transmission other than their CVT 2014 Nissan Altima Pros and Cons Member6168 The power of the 3.5 is more than adequate and is probably underserved by the middle of the road handling. |

My first brand new car in 21 years. It has exceeded my expectations so far and hope it always will. 2014 Nissan Altima Pros and Cons Member5890 The CVT takes a lot of getting used to. The CVT is too eager to reduce engine rpm after the engine rpm is increased above 3000 rpm. I will need to learn how to adjust my foot pressure on the accelerator pedal to avoid this. I'm hoping this won't be... |

2010 Nissan Altima 2.5 SL Sedan 2010 Nissan Altima Pros and Cons tim414 I am worried that the CVT transmission will not hold up. Nissan has extended the warranty on the CVT to 10 years/120k miles. I want to drive this car 200k miles without requiring major repairs. |

Great transportation and good value 2013 Nissan Altima Pros and Cons sasolomon The CVT is a little tough to get used to, but kind of like learning to drive a manual smoothly (well, much easier), it rewards you when you adapt to its methods. Performance is quite good even when I had a full load of adult men, a/c cranked and... |

Nissan Altima 2013 2.5 SL Tech 2013 Nissan Altima Pros and Cons Member5482 Nissan has a positive history with CVTs and this is the first one I've ever owned.

2013 Nissan Altima 2.5 SV Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh Aided by the sedan's relatively low weight, the short initial ratio of the CVT, and the ability of this transmission to hold the engine right at its 6,000-rpm power peak, the Altima's 182-horsepower 2.5-liter engines feels quick for a non-turbo four-cylinder. Nissan claims that an independent testing company (sponsored by... Comparison vehicle: 2013 Ford Fusion |
