2009 Nissan Altima Hybrid — Great performance for a family sedan hybrid, 198 combined hp gets 50mpg combined, excellent build quality, all the features you need, excellent incentives for hybrids right now and in canada $6500 rebate for the car, not slugish when driving, picks up speed smoothly and quickly, I WOULD Buy this as my next car

Just Look At The Price! Nuff Said! — Nice Car for the right price. It will save you tons on gas! Don't give your money to those greedy Oil tycoons! Still under Factory Warranty for the Hybrid system Take you family on a long trip! Anywhere cheap. Vegas Anyone?

5,000 Quality Tests Gives You The Best — Nissan invested a lot of time and money in this car and it shows, 4 cylinder engine paired with the CVT equals loads of power, this car takes off and doesn't stop until you let off. Quality is much better than the previous 3rd gen, you can feel the quality. Very quite even with the accelerator to the floor, lots of sound proofing for the cabin. fun to drive family sedan.

Good But Too Noisy Better Get The 3.5 It Wont Need To Work As Hard! — good on fuel on the hwy build quality is nice no rattles or road sounds while driving it, engine noise however is a different topic!! CVT keeps the revs too low to really enjoy and the manual mode is not really a manual mode. It has no gears and kinda feels like a really big go kart!

Buy It If You Need A Nice Ride For A Decent Price — The acceleration is amazing, despite the fact that a 2.5 Liter engine isn't the biggest thing on the block. The braking is great and it is fun, fun, fun to drive. Also a very roomy cabin makes it a great car to take your friends around in. And the style is basic yet perfect.

2009 Nissan Altima — Beautiul vehicle. CVT drive with manumatic shifting makes this a fun vehicle to drive. Have the full package to includes climate control, Bose system, leather and heated seats, and the sunroof. Nissan has a great assortment of accessories that builds character to this vehicle without making it gaudy.
