2009 Nissan Altima 2.5

Purchased As Used

I bought my "06" Altima 2.5 LE back in Dec of "08" used with just over 14K miles on it. So far I love it. Around town I'm getting 24.6mpg but haven't taken any real hwy trips with it yet. Good accelertion for a 2.5L engine. Handles well but a tiny bit noisy at times. Nice sound system and decent interior room. Nice large trunk helps a lot with shopping/trips. Over all I'm very pleased with this car and wouldn't heasitate to buy another one in the future but hope to get 100K before then....read morehide

Pros

Good looking

Cons

engine noise

Purchased As New

Overall, I'm very happy with this car. 2,500 miles so far, and no major complaints or problems. If i had to pick out some cons, it would be the loud engine noise on initial acceleration (tends to quiet down once the car has warmed up), drivers seat can feel a bit uncomfortable at times. i've had some problems with the key fob buttons..locking/unlocking doors while in my pocket. the CVT has the obvious benefits of better mpg, but can feel and sound boring. i guess i can always throw it into manual mode when i get bored. i picked the Altima over other cars because of the higher horsepower and mpg and the sportier look/feel of the car... the Altima is not as "mom & pop" as the Camry and Accord. the car handles great and is very responsive for a 4 cylinder. i look forward to driving every day....read morehide

Pros

Good gas mileage

Cons

Lightweight, Drives bad in snow and ice

Purchased As New

CVT is awesome! Has great pickup for a 4 cylinder but is a light weight car, doesn't feel overly safe and drives poorly in the snow! Gas mileage is excellant! All Nissans should have auto lights and radio controls on steering wheel! I love Nissans!!!!!
