Buying the 2016 Nissan Altima
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2016 Nissan Altima for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. This page sets out the 2016 Nissan Altima for buyers, in plain words.
A buyer's checks
Owners filed 554 complaints with NHTSA, most often about power train, engine and unknown or other; have those parts checked. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
Specs, explained
The powertrain here is the 2.5L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive and an automatic (CVT). It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Its combined rating is 7.7 L/100 km, which means roughly 23 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $119.40. The EPA estimates US$2,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Best uses
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
Space and size
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. The trunk holds 425 litres by the EPA's count: a family's bags for a long weekend.
A longer test drive
Drive the Altima on your commute before you commit to it. A test week in the Altima tells you more than any review. Rent the Altima for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.
Narrowing it down
Within the 2016 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
Money matters
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.94 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $119.40 at our price setting. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
