You're going severely off track now. Altima? I just had a 2012 Altima as a rental from the dealership. Having put 400 miles on it on wide open highways in the desert (trip to AZ ), I have to say it's a real unstable car past 75mph. It's erratic. All over the lane. But yes it'll hold all your friends.

I want a car that i can tune up so I was wondering. The 370z is amazing but even if it had the smallest backseat in the world i'd be very happy.

Just sold my Altima Coupe---used it as DD until my recent retirement. Don't need it any more but enjoyed it very much. CVT was fine. Very sensible car and totally trouble free. Not a sports car but a nice, comfortable sporty car for sure. Incidentally, it was very easy to sell---first guy who saw it grabbed it! Now my 370Z is my DD. Very different car but quite wonderful.
