I love the fact that I can start it/unlock it/open the trunk without a key.  Push button start rocks!  

Pros — GAS MILEAGE!!!!  
Cons — The headlights don't come on automatically like my old car.  Not a big deal just something to get use to.

Leather interior is very high quality. Standard Nissan Audio system (not bose) is excellent. Steering wheel adjusts tightness based on speed, amazing brakes.

Pros — Feels like a V-6, rips anything except infiniti. Amazing interior. Mix between sporty sedan and family car
Cons — n/a

Looking for a family car?  This one is it!  It has every possible feature you can think of, and its zippy and wicked on gas.  I can't find one thing bad to say about it!

Pros — Push button start, LOUD sterio (Bose), heated leather seats, CVT transmission, sunroof, and on and on and on, I'm not kidding!
Cons — Could have put 17" wheels on instead on 16".

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.

I've been driving the 3.5 SL for a 3 monthw now and highly enjoy driving it around town. Getting used to the luxery ride in the SL is taking some time. The 2008 Altima is nimble and quick to respond both with acceleration, manuvering, and braking. My only complaint other than the fact this car doesn't stand out as much as it should on the road - look at the overall design closely and you have A sexy car here - but my one complaint is with highway driving. The smallest movement on the steering wheel and the car is all over the lane. It was windy the other day and I felt it was difficult to handle. Driving around town, I haven't noticed this. But on a long trip awhile back, it was kind of un-nerving driving at 80 mph, which is easy to do in this car.

Favorite feature has to be push start ignition. When I drive my personal car I'm always looking for a button to turn it on/off. Who needs a key anymore?

I should state that I would choose this vehicle over a slightly more expensive, and less fuel efficient, Infiniti G35. Very similar vehicle, though the Altima at least has 6 speeds. Its overall a sweet ride...just slightly invisible

Pros — Sporty handling for class
+ V-6 performance
+ Responsive CVT
+ High-quality interior materials
+ Comfortable rear seat
Cons — CVT bogs engine at lower speeds
- Fussy tilt/telescope steering wheel adjustment (sedan)
- Cheapo faux wood trim with tan interior (sedan)
- Inconvenient release straps for folding rear seats (sedan)
