Thinking of buying the 2022 Nissan Altima S?

We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2022 Nissan Altima S for sale by us right now. Buying the 2022 Nissan Altima S is a big decision; here is the information we have.

A buyer's checks

Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Owners filed 31 complaints with NHTSA, most often about forward collision avoidance, unknown or other and electrical system; have those parts checked. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.

What the figures tell you

Power comes from the 2.5L 4-cylinder, driving through 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.

Rated at 7.3 L/100 km combined, it needs around 22 litres for a 300 km round trip. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $11.32, and a 300 km weekend about $33.96. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,100 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

When the Altima makes sense

It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.

What the Altima is like

Being a mid-size car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. Luggage space is rated at 425 litres: a family's bags for a long weekend.

Rent it for a week first

Rent the Altima for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. A test week in the Altima tells you more than any review.

Choosing the right one

If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.

Money matters

The EPA estimates US$2,100 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.
