Reviews SummaryCompared to midsize sedans, compact crossover SUVs offer more interior room, a taller driving position, easier entry and exit, and more models offer all-wheel drive (AWD). Their extra ground clearance helps you through snow or to scramble down a trail, too. They literally leave sedans in the dust, though they’re usually more expensive, get worse fuel economy, and handle less securely. Nevertheless, Nissan adds a value-packed 2025 Altima SV Special Edition Package to the lineup to drum up interest in its fading family car. Verdict: Is the 2025 Nissan Altima a good car? It has terrific front seats, available AWD, and SL and SR Premium Package models offer competitive technology. Otherwise, it simply doesn’t have what it takes to attract customers better served by other midsize cars. | |
Reviews SummarySince the Toyota Corolla first debuted in the U.S. in 1968, it has gone on to become the number one selling vehicle of all time. Over the decades, the Corolla has stayed true to its original formula of delivering a reliable and economical vehicle for the masses. With the introduction of the Corolla Hybrid in 2020, that formula is even more relevant. | |
