I LOVE THIS CAR! I purchased my 2005 Nissan Altima SL used in March 08 and it is one of the best purchases I have ever made!

It has a powerful 3.5-liter engine that gives you the pickup you need to pull out into traffic and leave other cars in the dust on the highway! The model I purchased has all the extras - power driver's seat, heated front seats and mirrors, leather upholstery, a 6 CD changer and an excellent Bose stereo system. One of the nice features I just discovered is when you are listening to the radio, the stereo display shows you the station, song title and artist while it's playing.

The car also has automatic climate control, full power setup, intermittent wipers, automatic headlights, wheel-mounted audio controls, cruise control, a trip computer, leather trim, and a security system.

As far as safety goes, the dual front airbags come standard and the Altima 3.5 SL comes with 16-inch alloy wheels, 4-wheel ABS brakes, xenon headlights, fog lights, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror, and optional traction control that can be turned on and off with the click of a switch. I find the gas mileage to be very good - approx. 23 mpg around town and 32 mpg highway.

Mechanically I have not had any problems and I have only put one quart of oil in the engine since I purchased it. It provides a very quiet ride and the interior is nice and roomy!

Overall I am very pleased with the appearance and performance of this car. I would highly recommend making your next vehicle purchase a Nissan!!
