| 2013 | 4dr Sedan 182-horsepower 2.5L I4 CVT FWD |
This is my 2nd Altima, both vehicles have performed very nicely. I think they are a great value. I was looking at at Buick LaCrosse but felt it was about $8000 over priced compared to my current Altima. full 2013 Nissan Altima review |

I have had past experience with a Nissan Maxima and Nissan Titan. Both vehicles were very reliable, competitively priced, and sporty. full 2009 Nissan Altima review |

The only reason we don't own this right now is the fact that we got an incredible buy on a used Infiniti, but this car would have been our second choice. full 2013 Nissan Altima review |
