Before you sign for the Altima

NHTSA has 31 owner complaints on file, mostly about forward collision avoidance, unknown or other and electrical system. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year.

What the figures tell you

The powertrain here is the 2.5L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive and 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.

At 7.6 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 23 litres of fuel. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $35.34 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,150 a year for 15,000 miles.

When the Altima makes sense

It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.

Space and size

As a mid-size car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. The trunk holds 425 litres by the EPA's count: a family's bags for a long weekend.

A longer test drive

If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.

Picking a year and a trim

Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.

What it costs to run

At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.78 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$2,150 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.
