Good luck fitting more than one person of or above average size in the back. For one person, I find that having them sit in one seat and putting their legs across behind the other seat creates the illusion of them having more room. see full Nissan Altima review |

The 3.5L Altima Coupe has excellent performance, good torque handling (long as you know how to drive), and if im going 20 or 100mph I always have the power to push the car harder. see full Nissan Altima review |

Performance of the 4-cyl is better than many small V6 engines. Very powerful for a 4-cylinder, yet leads the class in fuel economy--quite an achievement for Nissan!! CVT is inobtrusive and works well. The Manual shift mode feels great see full Nissan Altima review |

Being a small 2.5 four cylinder car I do not expect much, but this thing can move. It is quick using the shifter gate (manual mode) and can run all day at 90-ish no problem. Not the 3.5 though, that one is really quick. see full Nissan Altima review |
