ProsVery nice curves and extremely comfortable on long drives. ConsAcceleration.

Great Car For The Everyday Life. — I should have gone for the 3.5 with a bigger engine although the 4cyl is AMAZING ON GAS! The price tag of $16,000 when I bought it was very reasonable as well. Loads of trunk and storage space too and I would recommend this to everyone...as long as you aren't looking to race anytime soon. Primary Use: Commuting to work

My '05 Altima — Love this car, !st actually nice car I've had. It gets up pretty good, needs a lil engine work, but it's good. Too bad the governor maxes out at 110MPH. Other than that takes corners damn good no matter how fast I'm going. Haven't needed to fix anything yet, I think I might need breaks soon. Even though the things stops on a dime. I like this design a clean cut car, had tints installed I need some 18's (at least) a dual exhaust and a Grille to clean up the front end. Also they should of done the tail lights black like the SE-R model, woulda looked much better. I get anywhere between 400 to 460 MPG on a full tank, and I run 93 in it. I love this car, it rides smooth doesn't have any rattles, and it's comfortable for me and all of my passengers. I'd tell all my friends to get one of these, it's a great car. | ||

A Fun Car To Drive!! — Probably the most spacious car in its class. Looks good although you see it everywhere now, fun to drive, great acceleration, handling and braking. Good on gas mileage, seems to be better with premium gas. I recommend this car or Nissans in general to everyone. If you want a car thats fun to drive, go get any car made by Nissan or Infiniti (they are the same company). Oh yeah, if you can pick up the manual transmission version!! | ||

Great Basic Car — This Altima is fun to drive and easy to care for. It is very reliable and has good room and comfort particularly in the front seat. We use the car regularly around town and also on long trips. It has adequate power, but we are not high speed drivers. Accelleration is fine for driving in town and on the highway, it handles and brakes well. The ride is smoth and comfortable. Primary Use: Family transportation | ||

2005 Nissan Altima SE-R Review
ProsStyle, Performance, Exclusivity ConsManual can get annoying with everyday driving, nothing else

Overall A Good Car That Has Served Me Well, Fun For Spirited Driving Yet Reliable For Everyday Use — The 6 speed makes this car, the automatic is not very good. If one can drive this car (which I can) you will smoke all automatic 350z's no problem. Build quality is good all the touch points are taken care of a few squeaks and rattles but the car is 5 years old. Interior and Exterior are very well thought out and quite a classy upgrade from the 3.5SE. The seats are phenomenal and very comfortable and only available with the SE-R. The car has been trouble free since I have owned it and and averages 22.5MPG with my spirited driving. It is very fun to drive considering it can me a family truckster/grocery getter Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

Like It But Will Get An Suv Next — Fast, fun to drive, decent on gas. A little too low for me. I like an SUV better, feels safer. It is a fairly cheap car to operate and own. Very reliable and doesn't burn much gas when you don't stand on it too much! Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

ProsWhat can I say other than that Nissan always builds good passenger vehicles. ConsWould have loved the factory navi unit in this but I can always add a portable one to it.

Awesome Sedan. — Great sedan. Nice leather seats, wood inlays, all the usual creature comforts, and great performance and handling. Is there any more I can say. Probably. But the best way of describing this car is that its a great everyday commuter. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

Looks Great. Comfotable. Great Bose Speakers — This car is great. I love being able to cruise around bumping the bose speakers because they sound excellent. I wish it was faster and not an automatic. I love the interior. It is very roomy in the front and back. Great car. Primary Use: Commuting to work |
