Reviewing: 2006 Used Nissan Altima 2.5 S

Nissan Altima -
1.  Best value for money car in its segment with a powerful 2.5L extremely responsive motor.
2. Very poor built quality, very weak and poor durability of parts especially common parts like power windows, lights and all other electronic items.
3. Handling of car - Needs a pretty careful driver like me to tame it, else in wrong hands can be a disaster.
4. No powertronic included.. simple power into front wheels with no traction at all even if decently accelerated on curves.
5. Stability on a freeway - Sometimes surprises me, since it handles better than a Merc E200 or Lexus RX350

Pros — Unbelievable stability at high speeds on freeway.
Cons — Poor build quality, light weight, very poor power to transmission ratio

- Performance: Good acceleration (best in it's class), moderate braking, not that good in handling.
- Build Quality: Good but you cannot compare it with it's newly introduced sister (Infiniti).
- Appearance: The outer llok is acceptable but it is nice and roomy from the inside.
- Cost of Ownership: It is reasonably priced & the maintenance expenses are considerably cheap.
- The car is kind of fun to drive due to it's performance compared with it's comppetitors but more than that it is a very practical car.

Pros — Performance, looks, ownership cost & roominess.
Cons — Byild quality & interior finishing need to be improved, handling is not that really good & it lacks ABS.

Reviewing: 2006 Used Nissan Altima 3.5 SE

Replaced a '03 Corolla  w/'06 Altima, and would do it again. Only problem was tranny was slipping, under warranty.Otherwise, just standard oil changes after 2+ years of ownership. On one long-range trip, got 27.75mpg w/continuous ac use. This car is well-built, stylish and inexpensive to maintain. Plenty of power w/6 cyl.Good visibility all around. This is a great mid-size, mid-priced sedan.

Pros — Good visibility all around
Cons — Car rear bumper can show scratches, scuffs.

This is really the best car ever. Great acceleration, gas mileage is ok. The braking is great its like I'm stopping on a dime. The styling of the car is amazing it's the perfect color and the body is so smooth. This car is really fun to drive, I usually drive around just to drive it.

Pros — Everything
Cons — None

Reviewing: 2006 Used Nissan Altima SE-R

The 06 Altima SE-R has the performance and handling of a 350Z. It's an awesome car to drive because no one ever sees it coming. It's a wolfe in sheeps clothing(4 door family sedan). I've left Mustang GTs in the dust wondering what just passed them! On the other side of the coin it gets the kids to the rink in comfort and style without compromising its sports car soul.

Pros — acceleration 0-60 in 5.7 sec, braking 12.5" front rotors 11.5 " rears. handling 18s on 225/45 91Y rubber
Cons — a little pricey on fuel with the 91 octane that is required

I just got this car a couple weeks ago and I'm overall pretty happy with it. I was devastated to get rid of my tank of an Envoy but with $4 gas, I had to. Such is life...

Pros — Gas Mileage
Cons — Size

What isn't there to love about this car?  Leather trim, power everything...spacious...this car rocks!  For being so big, it glides, handles the curves graciously and doesn't skimp on get up and go...
