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 SummaryHas the world moved beyond the full-size family sedan? The answer might be yes. Considering that a Chevrolet Impala provides just a few inches of extra space here and a few cubic feet of additional trunk room there, but at a cost in terms of purchase price and fuel economy, it's hard to justify a big car’s existence. Yet, the Impala exists, and within its segment, it is absolutely worthy of consideration. | |
