Thinking of buying the 2011 Nissan Altima?
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2011 Nissan Altima for sale by us right now. Here is what to know about the 2011 Nissan Altima before buying one.
What to check on the Altima
NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Owners filed 246 complaints with NHTSA, most often about power train, unknown or other and engine; have those parts checked.
The figures, translated
Power: the 2.5L 4-cylinder hybrid; drive: front-wheel drive. It is a hybrid: the battery charges itself as you drive and brake, so there is nothing to plug in. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Combined fuel use is 7.1 L/100 km: about 21 litres for 300 km. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $11.01. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,050 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
What the Altima is like
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. The EPA lists 283 litres for luggage, roughly about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Good uses for the Altima
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
A longer test drive
A test week in the Altima tells you more than any review. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Altima answers the big questions. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.
Running costs
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $110.10 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.01 in fuel.
Narrowing it down
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
Ready when you are
A rental request is free; the offer shows the full price.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2011 Nissan Altima from us first.
