Not Enough Power — Not enought power and its too easy to shift from auto to stander. I like to bluetooth phone system and the roomeness of the car. like the headlights tail lights are ok. I also like to power seat and the storage space.

You Don't Now What Your Missing — lots of power its like driving a nascar, still breaking it in bought in new so got to be gentle , the interior and exterior are amazing nice clean lines outside and lots of head room for us tall people. the gas mileage is amazing for a car of this size, if you in the market for a new car try the nissan altima its a blast to drive.

Pros

Nice car.  No problems at all so far.  Everything works as expected.  Nice ride.  Very comefortable and very quiet.  Only maintenance needed so far is to change oil on scheduled intervals.  Highly recommend.

Cons

None.

Very Nice. Very Reliable, Very Comefortable, Smooth And Quiet. — It has nice looks, comefortable seating, nice ride, decent handling, fair price. The CVT transmission works very nice. There is no downshifting on hills. (well, actually there is but you can't tell it unless you watch the tach.) I would definitely consider buying another.

What a Machine

The Transmission takes a bit to get used to but when you do you start wondering How you ever got along without CVT

Wow — At this point I have found Nothing to Dislike about the 2012 Altima 2.5s and Everything to Love. I have 700 miles on it so lets wait and see what happens. I found these Forums very helpful in discovering Noises, and features.. The Dealership Cochran Nissan in Pittsburgh was really great, I went in only for a test drive of the Juke, and 3 hours later left with the Altima, Easiest Buying Experience of my life.

Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)
