Reviews SummaryThe 2016 Altima is Nissan's big-selling midsize sedan. Its mission is to offer a lot of space, plenty of value, and also deliver a good bit of comfort and economy, and look good doing it. That’s a tall order, and the competition is very fierce. The Altima manages to stand out with distinctive styling and a friendly, accommodating cabin. | |
Reviews SummaryRodney Dangerfield was a legendary stand-up comedian, and while his on-stage shtick was all about how he didn’t get any respect, as a comedic talent he was held in the highest esteem. That’s not the case for the 2017 Chevrolet Malibu. The oft-maligned Malibu literally gets no respect, which is too bad because with its most recent redesign for the 2016 model year, the car absolutely deserves it. | |
