2008 Nissan Altima 2.5 S Reviews
| “08 Altima 2.5s” So..the 2008 Nissan Altima, what can be said about this car? First of all the Altima is viewed as a car for the slightly older demographic and is often compared to the Accord and Camry. With the redesign in 2007 Nissan sought to make the car sportier and much more ascetically pleasing to draw in a younger audience, despite dropping the SE-R variant the Altima has gone on to overtake even the Maxima in sales and popularity. The car's new design is more aggressive than older models but still manages to attract the older demographic, lots of chrome on the green house grill and rear make it known that this is an *upscale* Family sedan while subtle lines and a racy front end draw in younger customers. Power in the 2.5 S comes in at 175 Bhp, 180flbs. A higher torque to HP ratio gives the Altima 4 banger good acceleration but nothing that will make V6 Altima owners watch their rear view mirrors. The interior is amazing for a car in its price range, with soft malleable plastics, tons of cubby holes and rattle reducing design. The cloth seats are also pleasant to the touch and hug passengers and driver. Ride quality is also a plus with almost zero road noise and smooth operation thanks to the CVT, the Altima's suspension won't jar your teeth but it wont be winning any track days either. Body roll is never a real issue at moderate speed and the suspension holds up well under more daring maneuvers. For it's price the Altima is tough to beat however poor stock tires, a horrible pricing breakdown may keep those looking for a true sports orientated sedan away.

The headlights don't come on automatically like my old car. Not a big deal just something to get use to.

| “It's Not My Maxima, But Close.” I picked this up the day after my jetta blew up on me, I got it for what I would consider a decent price considering the build quality and the performance. even thought it's just a 4cyl the 6spd really makes it perform (it can keep in line with my buddies Subaru WRX,)
Pros —
Styling, Powerful/Reliable Motor. Push button ignition is a neat feature.
Cons —
Strange Throttle issue, still gotta take it to the dealership to get it looked at, other than that. it's pretty much bulletproof.

| “Beautiful, Good Handling, Awesome Gas Mileage” overall is a good car
Pros —
Good looking, 32 Mpg! , comfortable
Cons —
2.5 litter engine is weak, get the 3.5 one!
