Before you sign for the Altima

Owners filed 70 complaints with NHTSA, most often about forward collision avoidance, electrical system and service brakes; have those parts checked. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.

Specs, explained

Power comes from the 2.5L 4-cylinder, driving through an automatic (CVT). It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 23 litres, from its 7.7 L/100 km rating. A 300 km weekend costs about $35.82 in energy at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,150 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Best uses

It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.

The Altima in everyday use

A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. The EPA measures its luggage space at 425 litres, roughly a family's bags for a long weekend.

Drive it on your own roads

If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Rent the Altima first, and buy only if it fits your life. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Altima answers the big questions.

Which one to look for

Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.

The cost of driving it

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$2,150 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $119.40 at our price setting.
