2007 Nissan Altima User Reviews

Cvt Works Well — The 3.5 SE with CVT is a very sporty front-wheel drive sedan. It is excellent in long drives and gets decent gas mileage (up to 31mpg on highway). One downside is that if you want to push it hard, it likes premium gas. If you don't drive it hard, then 87 works fine. My biggest complaint is about the stock tires. They are not as good as I hoped in snow/rain. Also, they are not very good performance tires. I plan to replace them once they're worn and get something better. 09 Altima's come with different stock tires, which would address this. The car has an amazing chassis. It loves twisty roads and highways. I would say it is by far the best front-wheel drive car that I've ever driven. The CVT is amazingly smooth and provides instant power whenever you need it. However no-transmission can read your mind. Fortunately, it can be shifted manually as well. The response is instant. This is a car for the person who does a lot of driving and likes to enjoy themself behind the wheel. It is much easier to live with than its sportier competitors and makes for a great every-day driver.

If You Want To Look Single In A Four Door Car — One word...WOW! Everything about the car is great. The power under the right foot is always there, youjust have to be ready for a bit of torque steer if youshut off the VDC. If you get a auto make sure you use the manual mode often. I like to get up to speed in "D" then shift over to 6th gear to hold the gas mileage as high as possible. The navigation system is sopt on. I try to confuse the system to see if it will really find the fastest way to locations I already know. The only thing I wish it had was "arrival ime to final destination" function. The Bose is really the way to go. I use XM and never have problems with a good signal unless the sky really is blocked. I wish someone would make a IPod holder for the aux plug. as it is you have to have a cord from your armrest to the dash, which just does not look right in a $35K auto. When my lease is up I will be looking for a new Alti.

Dependable — i love my car. i drive it everyday to work and school. it is really good on gas. its black thats is my favorite color. i share the responsibility with my boyfriend. its his too. he changes the oil and brakes on it when it needs to be done.

My New Altima — This car is amazing!!! Iwould recomend it to anyone. It has amazing styling, and it looks more like a sports car than a economy car. The fuel milage is great. I drive at least 60 miles a day to school and work...ussually more, and i swear i tap the gas gauge to make sure it is moving correctly... it moves so slowly. The car is surprisingly quick for a four cylinder. And, the CVT is amazing in the way that it controls the power. The car moves like a V6 instead of a four cylinder. Acctually beat my sisters Maxima SE. Very quite ride, and is insulated very well. Stock sound system sounds really good even without the Bose upgrade. Push button start and intellegent key is not a neccesity but is a nice feture for a car of this price.

Good For Transportation But Not For Performance Driving — The first altima I have liked, the shape is very nice on the eyes. The shifter made from polymer makes you think your going to brake the shifter during quick shifting. The tires are loud and they break traction alot when starting above 2k rpms. The stereo is good the controls are easy and it has an Aux. output.
