What the specs mean
The 2.4L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. 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 9.8 L/100 km, which means roughly 29 litres for 300 km. Driving 300 km costs roughly $45.57 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,800 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Good uses for the Altima
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.
Inside and out
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. Its 396 litres of luggage space fit about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Drive it on your own roads
A week with the Altima answers more than any brochure. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.
Narrowing it down
Within the 2000 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
Running costs
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $15.19 in fuel. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. The EPA estimates US$2,800 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
