2010 Nissan Altima Coupe S 2.5 liter 4 cylinder from North America
Summary:
Amazingly enjoyable small vehicle, that gets noticed everywhere I go
Faults:
Nothing whatsoever.
General Comments:
I absolutely love this car. It has been an amazing ride since the day I test drove it.
I originally wanted the 3.5, but after playing with the 4 cylinder, I found myself appreciating it more.
I average about 28 MPG with mixed driving, consisting of approximately 40% highway and 60% city, and I don't treat it gently.
I have been using Mobil 1 synthetic oil on it, after using Castrol Edge for a little while, but Mobil 1 actually improved my fuel economy.
I switched out the stock stereo for an aftermarket Pioneer unit, and did some other little modifications myself, but I find that I love this car every time I climb into it to drive.
One nice thing worth noting is the fact that, at least in my model year, despite the fact that my car did not come with fog lights, the wires are already run to the bumper, you just need to purchase the fog lights and a switch. This is certainly a welcome situation.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

My friend owns a 2008 Altima and highly recommends it to me. I test drove one, and was impressed with the smooth quiet ride as well. I haven't made up my mind yet, but considering an Altima if I can get a discount after Christmas.
Why is it that Honda dealers are so arrogant? I was looking at a Civic recently, and boy were they ever rude to me at the Honda dealership. They act like their cars are better than BMW or Benz, but they are just economy cars, prone to problems just like any other brand. I decided to not buy a Honda just because of their bad attitude, but their lack of a decent warranty behind their product was also a big factor.
If their cars are so reliable as they claim, why won't they back it with a warranty? Nissan stands by their product, which gives me more confidence.
