No problems with the car whatsoever.

General Comments:

This car is great! It replaced a Volkswagen Jetta, which was a money pit and needed major repairs every week it seemed.

The Altima drives really well, the ride is smooth but handling is still exceptional. Steering feel is far better than the Jetta, and so is handling despite it being a larger car!

Interior room is excellent, unlike the useless Jetta. I love the telescoping steering wheel, as I have plenty of room and it's easy to get comfortable. I'd like an adjustable lumbar support, but the seat comfort is still terrific. I also like the high quality suede Nissan uses - I definitely don't miss the leather.

The sound system is pretty good, too, though I wish it came with either Mp3 playback standard or a CD changer. At least it has an AUX port (really all you use), and for having just 6 speakers it's better than the "premium" Monsoon system I had.

This car has a ton of power for a 4cyl - even when the car is full of passengers I've never had to floor it to get up to speed. I've been averaging about 31mpg based on my calculations (the fuel economy gauge tells me 32.)

The A/C / Heat works really well. Seems like a minor thing, but given its all-black interior, I haven't felt the need to get tinted windows. It's really quick at cooling the car.

The glove box is huge (I keep my laptop in it), and the cup holders are great for storing lots of little things.

Definitely get the CVT - it is smooth and its tiptronic mode works way better than just about everything else I've encountered - including Volkswagen's DSG.

Best of all, not a single thing has gone wrong or malfunctioned.

Faults:

Nothing has gone wrong, but there are a few scratches in the paint.

General Comments:

The only bad thing I can say about this car is it doesn't have a lot of ground clearance. We have scraped the bottom over speed bumps when the car is loaded up with passengers.

The CVT transmission is smooth, and the power is impressive for a 4 banger, as is the fuel economy for a fairly big car.

Faults:

Nothing has gone wrong so far, everything is still in the same condition as when I bought it, almost.

General Comments:

Great performance for the price, and more comfortable than you'd expect from an entry-level vehicle.

Faults:

Would not start after having the car for 3 days.

After this problem was fixed, it would not turn off about 3 weeks later. Yes, I said would not turn off! I had to leaving it running while I was at work for about 4 hours before the dealership came and got it.

Stalling out occured at about 15,000 miles.

Seats are not durable. I had leather seats and after about one month they already had cracks in them.

Back window leaks worse than anything I have ever seen.

Power windows would not work on a regular basis.

Service engine light would come on often and no one could tell me why.

Had to put new tires on the car just after buying it because they kept going low. And I know I did not run over anything because I drive strictly highway miles.

General Comments:

Nissan has the worst customer service of a manufacturer I have ever seen. They are doing a buy back, or should I say a "screw me deal". They are not even giving me back my down payment on the car so that I can get another decent car. Instead I am going to be forced to drive a piece of junk and be out of pocket about $10,000.
