Before you sign for the Altima

In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Owners filed 31 complaints with NHTSA, most often about forward collision avoidance, unknown or other and electrical system; have those parts checked. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.

Specs, explained

Under the hood: the 2.5L 4-cylinder and front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

By the EPA's combined rating of 7.6 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 23 litres. Every 100 km costs about $11.78 in fuel at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,150 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Space, size and seats

Being a mid-size car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. The EPA lists 425 litres for luggage, roughly a family's bags for a long weekend.

Who the Altima suits

It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.

A longer test drive

Rent the Altima for a week and see how it fits your life. If the Altima is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Try the Altima on your commute, then decide.

Running costs

The EPA estimates US$2,150 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.78 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $117.80 at our price setting.

Which one to look for

If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. 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.
