What to check on the Altima

Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Owners filed 31 complaints with NHTSA, most often about forward collision avoidance, unknown or other and electrical system; have those parts checked.

Specs, explained

Its 2.5L 4-cylinder drives 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.

For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 23 litres, from its 7.7 L/100 km rating. For 1,000 km, budget about $119.40 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,150 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

The Altima in everyday use

Being a mid-size car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. The trunk holds 425 litres by the EPA's count: a family's bags for a long weekend.

Is it right for your trip?

It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.

Rent it for a week first

Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Drive the Altima on your commute before you commit to it.

What it costs to run

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. The EPA estimates US$2,150 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Choosing the right one

Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
