Reviewing: 2005 Used Nissan Altima 3.5 SE

Bouught the car this summer and haven't regreted a thing since.  The moment I test drove it and took off I was sold.  
Even though it is a front wheel drive it launches when I take off and I love the response.  The handling is not the best but still inspiring and fun.  The worst is probably the braking, but why need brakes when all you want to do is go fast?
I love the appearance in and out- the 8 speaker bose system with 6 CD in dash changer sounds awesome and the cabin design gets me excited to drive every time I get in.  
Outside the car is hot-roddish with clean wheels, dual exhaust, sweet dark red/maroon clearcoat paint, and smoked HID headlamps.  I get lots of good comments and that keeps me happy.  
The car is awesome to drive and I will never get bored of it.  The only thing that I would change are the little unnoticable dents and dings from the previous owner, oh and maybe an iPod adapter- but that can be fixed in the future if I can make some money...

Pros — 3.5L V6, bose sound, Xenon headlights, 38 MPG, 260 HP
Cons — None

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!!

Pros — Excelent acceleration, great handling, above average factory sound system
Cons — Engine noise at high speeds, torque steer.

It's a nissan. 2005 with 65000 miles. Everyone has
ridden in it. The purp mobile. Good acceleration,
brakes, and handling for a sedan. Definitely wished I
had the V6 model so I can have another 95 - 100 bhp.   
It's a very solid everyday driver. The car is a trooper.
Definitely worth the money for a very decent car.

Pros — Solid everyday driver
Cons — Wish I had the V6 model

Well... I usually drive american muscle but in the case if this Altima im very impressed with the performance, style, and dependability. With it being a 4-cyl would think that it was slow but if anybody wants any day HOLLA at me! Easy to install aftermarket electronics due to the car being kind of like a big pull apart art car but fun for fellow installers(cuts back on install time). Overall just fun to drive and being seen driving.

Pros — ALL is good
Cons — UH... Ill get back to you on that one

Powerful car but still gets decent gas mileage...averaging 27.5 MPG!  175 hp 4 cylinder.  Handles very well, especially with the Yokohama's I put on it.  Dark Blue...so it gets dirty easy.  But looks great when clean.  I have a long commute to work...but with this vehicle, I look forward to it.

Pros — Great looking car, but not too expensive.
Cons — Not very unique, they're all over the road.

I absolutely love my car.  Can't say there is really anything I don't like about my car.  It has every option I wanted except navigation, which we just bought separately so it is now complete.  It is super fast and the pick up is great, I squeel the tires without even trying sometimes!!  The only down side is the gas is pricey with having to put premium in her, but she's worth it.

Pros — Fast, luxury and sporty, lots of room, comfortable,
Cons — premium costly gas

I love my car. I love the fact that it is a limiteded edition and not everyone has one. I love the spaciousness it provides to my family and it the fun it provides me. When a sedan hits 145mph and it still asking for more then you have something special.

Pros — 350z with four doors, subtle, luxurious in the day, fast and furious at night
Cons — No turbo. No complaints.
