Ya great car for people with negative credit

There was a recent article saying companies like Nissan is contributing to selling and leasing new cars to people with horrible credit or no credit and it's causing a mass influx of people who can't pay their new car payments on time or at all.

Financing has nothing to do with quality. The quality differences in the altima are miniscule and are cabin related. The Honda layout gives it a much more luxurified presence which is great for Honda to have better looking layout. But Nissan's is ergonomically superior. If you go under the hood, Nissan still has leaves more advanced engines and transmissions than the competition.

The altima 4cylinder was the first 4 cylinder to get hybrid level gas mileage with its pure drive technology on a standard sized car. The altima CVT is the benchmark for that technology.. something Honda has had higher issues with there transmissions though Nissan tends to get the rep in spite of the factual numbers telling a different story.

The 3.5SR suspension is superior to all its competitors for handling. Everything you talk is without having the experience behind the wheel of these cars... You should really stick to what you know.

So I would say the Nissan is VERY competitive to the competition. Right now the Kia Optima is killing all competition. The underdog is the winner right now with turbo power and a REAL shiftable automatic. Improved suspension direct steering and comfortable interior. It's the best of all world's.

Dude I'm you on all points except CVT, and I've owned one. It's great in theory and when it works but when it goes bad, boy does it.

It still doesn't mean that Nissan has not set the standard for CVT transmissions in the 21st century. It just means you've been one of the unfortunates to have experienced the drawbacks of possible CVT unreliability, which has lessened greatly since 2010 in the Nissan brand.

I'll give you that and I actually had a decent experience with it but had other issues with the car. When searching for solutions on other forums I read a bunch of nightmares about the CVT. of course I might be being unfair considering only the complainers actually post on the Internet.

You do your research before you speak so I'll concede

I try... But I make mistakes like everyone else..

I just have a lot of experience with Altima. Really good cars in practice. You can't go by the nitpicky opinions of some.
