2008 Nissan Altima

Pros: Solid chassis, Smooth CVT, Sharp handling, iKey, Looks Good, Comfortable to Drive

Cons: Those ugly hubcaps, Rear headrests not adjustable, option packages.

The Bottom Line: For mid-size sedan buyers who value driver involvement and fuel efficiency, this car is at the head of its class. For all others, it's worth a serious look.

Review: 5 month Update: I've put over 8,000 miles on my Nissan Altima since purchasing it. Maintenance: It has gone in for two oil changes, each at the recommended 3,750 mile intervals. 3,750 mile oil change: The first oil ...

Pros: Beautiful, zippy and fun to drive.

Cons: The speed limit in the state where I reside is only 65.

The Bottom Line: This is the car you want to buy if you're looking for great value, fuel economy and a fast, fun drive.

Review: I was set to buy a Honda Accord, had done all the research and made up my mind- and then I saw the Nissan Altima 2-door sport coupe and my avarice for a Honda vanished. Our Nissan dealership was phenomenal. They asked us how much we wanted to pay for ...

Pros: Big enough for 6'6" tall driver. Great acceleration and handling. Fully featured, well laid out.

Cons: Rear headroom is tight. Drivers seat shifts a bit during intense maneuvers.

The Bottom Line: Driver's paradise. Great value. Back seat must make do.

Review: I am an evenly proportioned 6'6" tall male, and have great difficulty finding cars I fit in, mostly due to inadequate leg room. I sat in 130(!) cars at the Dec. 2007 Los Angeles Auto Show (a good workout let me tell you). Price was not much of a ...

Pros: Greatest car I have ever owned.

Cons: The thing I didn't like was it came with Continental tires. So I bought Bridgestones.

The Bottom Line: I would buy this car again and again. I think I did one up grade from standard. Trust me you won't make a mistake with this car.

Review: My family has a 2008 Nissan Altima. we take it every where. There's plenty of room in the back for the kids and still has plenty of leg room for my wife and I up front. Go with an electric adjustable seat if you drive a lot for added comfort. the ...

Pros: Excellent fuel economy, smooth ride, looks sporty yet sophisticated

Cons: Haven't found any yet

The Bottom Line: Ditch the gas guzzler for this. It looks great, drives great, and my Allstate rep says it's one of the safest sedans on the road.

Review: I traded my Ford F-150 a few months ago for one of these, because my truck was breaking me up in gas. I was lucky to get 15 mpg in the truck. I was ready to cry at first, because I loved my truck, (despite the bad fuel economy)but after a few days, my ...

Pros: Sporty, great on gas mileage, roomy, comfortable, great car for the money!

Cons: At this point, I haven't found anything that I dislike about the car.

Review: I purchased a brand new 2008 Nissan Altima in October of 2007 and must say that I love it. I went from a 2002 Jeep Liberty to the Altima and was a little worried about going back to a car, but I don't regret it at all. I drive about 100 miles a day for ...

Pros: CVT; gas mlg; very short turning radius; pick-up; XM radio; very comfortable to drive

Cons: Navigation system's POIs

Review: We recently bought the 2.5L Altima sedan SL and it is one of the finest cars we've owned recently - this is coming from someone who owns a Jaguar and a BMW!! The CVT transmission is flawless and Q-u-i-c-k! Over this past weekend my wife, 2 friends and ...

Pros: Love the feature of the connection for your MP3 player to play through the radio.

Cons: Remember not to leave the remote in the car.  Trunk has no key entry. 

Review: My husband blacked out & ran into a tree on 12/27 while driving our 2008 Altima.  The driver's side just left of the front center was completely destroyed.  The front wheel prevented the door from opening & it had to be cut off.  ...

Pros: Smooth, quiet, comfortable, powerful 2.5 liter engine

Cons: The keyless ignition is more trouble than it's worth. Complicated radio operation.

The Bottom Line: A fine rental car for ten days, but without the manual, I disliked the keyless ignition.

Review: I rented a 2008 Nissan Altima 2.5 S sedan for ten days in February while on vacation and put 1900 miles on it. The car was generally very enjoyable to drive. Unfortunately, the car rental company didn't have the manual in the glove compartment, so some ...

Pros: MONSTER engine, CVT Tranny is NICE, Spacious cabin.

Cons: MAJOR lag in 1st gear, GAS guzzler.

The Bottom Line: If you have the need for speed this is it. If you want efficiency, look elsewhere.

Review: I have been driving the Nissan Altima 3.5 V6 SE for two months now and think I can honestly say that it is a BEAST of a car. The technical guys at the dealership broke it down for me about how the V6 3.5 is a monster engine and that it can easily take on ...
