WretchedDrake You are right, Nissan is something "right" which is to sell them to Enterprise, Hertz, Dollar car rental companies. Take aside of fleet and rental cars, the Accord sedan is actually the best selling mid-size sedan in American.
Haha no they aren’t doing anything right! Their CVT transmissions are absolute pure garbage! I can say that because I had an Altima with this transmission. They fail and go out prematurely. Ever since Nissan merged with Renault in 2002 their quality has been going downhill. Nissan used to make solid cars. The only reason why they sell so well is that that have a cheap price for what you get.
Lol. I just bought one of these for my very first car. I love it and I was looking for more of a sporty sedan and this met my needs. But man you really bashed the car in this review:)
This guy is a little, lets say, expectationess, I just bought this car and cant wait to drive it, especially since I have been driving a 250k 1999 Honda Accord with no power steering, bad fuel economy, burnt oil smell in the cabin, clankity clank down the road for 6 years, I cant wait till Monday!!!!!!
Awesome car, 39 miles a gallon on the hwy, I can tell the transmission needs some TLC, I think I will have the oil changed, Excellent car with 1 weak spot ( that I know of) the transmission. hard to believe a car with 182 HP can get such good millage. especially the way I drive, LOL
+Zachary May The Accord has more personality than this, which is funny because it used to be that the Altima was on the sportier side of the family sedan market and the Accord split the Camry and Altima on dynamics. Now, it would seem Nissan has lost their way with the Altima.
I will say this. This class of car at the end of the day is to get you from point A to B. I remember my family having this as a rental car for a trip and we absolutely loved it because it did its job.
I was surprised you complained about the key fob, It needs no changing, it's compact, functional and because every door and the trunk opens by sensing the key you rarely need to press the keys. I hope they don't redesign it.
interesting, I actually hated the fob. I thought it was very small and because all the buttons are the same look and feel I always had to look at it to use it
By that logic would you buy a new car today that started selling in 2002? (IIRC that key fob dates back to the early 2000's.) Nothing wrong with the vehicle, and it works, but looking at the competition, would you buy it?
My sister has a 2016 Altima SL. It's pretty nice for a midsize family sedan. Not super flashy or anything. It doesn't over exceed expectations, but it does everything pretty well.
I've driven nearly all the Altima rivals. What it has over all of them is: 1. quieter cabin 2. relaxing ride 3. perfect seats 4 almost leading acceleration 5. value 6. competitive mbg Nissan needs a good designer very badly though.
Watch this video and hearing you beating the car down into as if it is garbage. People like you is why the prices goes up high because you complain and complain about it not being advance with the technologies. You need to keep in mind that some people don't care for high advance stuff like that because it only cost more money when it has to be repaired. Sometimes a car being basic is best! Less cost and less repairing. In my opinion I think Nissan Altima is perfect like it is! It saves gas and less expensive crap on it.
lots of complaints.. the OD button works great... This car does everything well. OBVIOUSLY if you want muscle car sound you would get a car that gives you that. No one, going to work 9 to 5, cares about your need for V6 sound. I drove it on the highway and that OD button was very good to have to smoke those frigging truck drivers. The sucker moved very well for a CVT trans. seats are very comfortable. especially when driving for hours on the HW.
I finally got mine. Can’t wait to know everything about it. Your review been a help to me, especially since this is my first time buying one. Thanks for the great work.
It's not that we have anything against Nissan, we'll be uploading the full review on the 2016 Maxima this week. That vehicle impressed us a lot. We know Nissan can do better, you just get a sense that they weren't trying as hard in the Altima.
I have just recently bought it and I feel that it looks sharp on the outside, I love how it rides and how big it is. Very spacious and a gigantic trunk. It is great on gas, better than any car I’ve ever owned and I average about 36.3 mpg. But the inside bores me especially compared to my Civic and Corolla. At night time you cannot see any of your controls. The temperature setting are not lit up so if I’m wanting to gauge I have to use my phone light (unsafe). The shifter knob is not lit and I would prefer it to be just so I can visually see what gear I am in instead of having to look in between the steering wheel. Very nit picky things, but I think they could have spent more thought into fixing these things.
With regard to the "bland" interior and styling, these days with new cars and refreshes constantly coming out, there are a certain number of people, myself included, who really don't want all that tech and fancy crap. Think about it: all that stuff is nice, but it gets in the way of driving sometimes. I know people who have gotten seriously hurt in car crashes resulting from them being disgraced trying to control the volume of their radio on a touch screen! Like, really?!!! Some stuff should be kept traditional; knobs and buttons please. Also, all that tech is just more stuff thats eventually gonna break, and it also makes the car more expensive. Personally, I love cars because they can get me safely from point A to B and offer basic amenities (however I do love my backup camera). This is why the Camry and Corolla sell so well in this country and around the world. People like things basic. And they're also so reliable too! ;)
For those of you drab uninspired people out there (like me) on a budget, a used 2017 Nissan Altima with well under 20,000 miles can be had for as little as 12 grand. My bank account is very excited.
Instead of just calling the overdrive-off button "old school", how about actually providing info as to what that button does and how it affects the performance dynamics and fuel economy of the car? I've owned cars with an overdrive off function before, but many viewers of your video probably have not.
+HansDelbruck53 he already explained this trim level doesn't have paddle shifters or any method of controlling your "gear"; that's pretty self-explanatory to me.
Change I'm glad they made is the change from glossy piano black plastic on the radio and center to plain plastic. It scratched so easily. The change for the seats is also welcome, the seats in the previous years were lint and hair magnets. I've never had to lint roll a car seat until I had an Altima.
I read a comment below and I can't wait for the review on the new Maxima! Honestly I am disappointed with the 2016 Altima because of the interior. It isn't bad, but if I'm looking at a 'refresh' or 'redesign' I don't want a half assed car where the interior is the same but the exterior is given a facelift. I'll look for a 2015 Altima fully loaded instead because of dealer incentives and rebates if I was looking at one. The fuel economy is stellar though, have to give Nissan that. Our 2014 Maxima gets 18-20mpg, pretty horrid if you think about it. Has maybe 300 miles to a tank if you really push it. Props to the 3.5L V6, haha.
I kind of like the exterior look of the car. Nissan was going a bit crazy with goofy grills (Maxima) and swoopy designs. This is one of the few Nissans I wouldn't be embarrassed to be seen in. I do agree that the interior could use some style.
I’m legitimately twisted! This is a basic sedan that does the job well. If you want to spend more money on more tech features but something else! The Altima is just good transportation that won’t go crazy on ya.
I had a 2007 Nissan Altima four cylinder and had 280,000 reliable miles on it just sold it for $2,000 and bought a 2017 Nissan Altima great car just routine service
The DISP button isn't exactly unnecessary. Now that's a button I do use a lot (not in this car, I have an Optima), sometimes I don't want that screen blaring in my face, especially at night.
Main thing for me is it has a NA engine so no turbo lag and good torque band. Also comparatively low repair rates. With all the new turbo charged cars they are nice until you don't keep up on oil changes, burn oil, and run the turbo dry.
I had one in the late 90s. Most economical car without shop work, good on gas, comfortable. I've had besides older Honda Civic, those were reliable to.
I've seen and ready many reviews about the Altima's "zero gravity" seats. This is the only reviewer I've found to have a complaint about them. Every reviewer I have come across raved and were highly impressed with the seats. Overall this guy does a nice job with his reviews. I am in the market for a nice used car and the 2016 Altima is on my list.
Anyone else think the '13-15 front end is better looking than this? That's the only reason why I chose to buy the '15 over this one, but I do like the rear end over mine. Old SV interior also looks better in my opinion.
Why would you need a phone button on the dash when it's right there at your finger tips on the wheel,Do you like to take your eyes off the road when your driving,
Some people just hate Nissan for some reason... I have always loved Nissan.. on my second Altima.. now the 2016'.. Love it ! The styling, ride, transmission, interior.. base model has everything you want and nothing more... perfect car in my eyes.. great gas miles.. What is not to like?? This guy seems biased as F...
That is good because the Camry is ugly inside and real ugly on the outside. The cruise control knob sticking out of the steering wheel is one of the dumbest ideas I have seen in a while.
Had 116k on my 16 when I traded it for a 22’ rogue. It still drove smooth as butter, just get the Cvt services done, let them warm up, and apply parking brake on hills.
I have a 2016 Altima SV. Bought it to replace my totaled 2014 Altima S. I love my new one! She has a sunroof, navigation, heated seats/steering wheel, and blindspot warning with cross traffic alert, just to name some. All things my 2014 didn't have.
You speaking so fast and I cant gotcha you some times . I learn english new , and love cars , love your videos and love american cars . Thank you for video. :)
It's simple really. Rental companies typically replace their car every 2-3 years so when these cars hit the market, the resale value goes down because of supply and demand.
I think I would’ve mentioned the transmission fluid has to be changed every 60,000 miles and you don’t need to drive it like a race car or that CVT is likely to mess up.
I have a 16 SR. Good power, once on the freeway the thing with the 2.5 can go! Just turning radius is horrendous. Thats it for my complaints. Very reliable
if Altima is not a good car than why there is so many Altima all over NYC. I see more Altima compare to its segment. Camry is known for Taxi here so am not counting that. Accords advantage the resale value, but not like before. My sister bought a used like new 2015 accord sport for 14800 cash with 18k mile. Same guy also selling a 2015 Altima SV for 14500 with 15k mile. First i thought Accord is lemon but both car offers car fax report plus manufacture warranty. I told her to get the Accord. But the price difference isn't that big. Later i realised that altima offered some pretty neat extra than Accord. Such as remote start, heated steering, push start plus no worry for door handle, trunk to unlock. Maybe those extra option getting people attention. Now the reliability matters also subjective. Driving behaviour is a big fact for any car. If you take care the maintainance stuf it gona last longer. I see you just under rate all nissan vehicle up to bottom. They aren't that bad
facts, I have the 2014 an I love it, and I'm coming from Honda, and I love it was more, my Honda didn't have as much features as my nissan, and everywhere I turn in Brooklyn I see one...this review is garbage
+yardygalkeepitreal he's one of those reviewers who wants all cars to have a v6 or v8 and a manual kinda guy if you know what I mean. Doesn't adapt to the new world
Local dealership has a couple "2016 Altima 2.5 SV" for $15,000. Would that make it worth the price for this car? They're brand new, and was thinking of going and looking at one.
Quick story Im now driving to work in the "new" 2017 Nissan Altima sr 2.5 "sport" model for 3 weeks now this definitely not the first car I've ever drove to my job, I work at O'Hare so it's a good 50 mile drive from the city so I'm totally a 150+ miles everyday you know with a little a running around in stuff but look from the "pro" reviews they said it's suppose to have better steering n suppose to have a more updated Crapvt that suppose to mimick a traditional Auto 🙄😂 (they not fooling nobody) and with the paddle shifters that suppose to mimick gears well... first off this car is very unstable on the highway at speeds off 70 mph it's like the wind can whistle this bitch off the road it understeer scary ASF at bends that a 07-10 Taurus,14 Corolla ,13 & 14 Malibu ltz,10&14 Impala ltz, 05,09,14,Honda Accord 2.4 ivtec ,fiesta-st,focus titanium, 11 Ford fusion se v6 and i4 ,Chevy Sonic RS, Lexus es330, 06 Lincoln Town car, 09 Toyota Camry se 4 cyl , 04 crown Vic p71, all felt perfectly stable in buckled down to the road and I've been taking this same high way for years now this car has a nice NA 4 cyl but it would be more bad ass with a manual or a regular 7 speed and change the awful ass steering twitchy ASF at high speed and numb asl at middle speed then stiff at low speed man just let me feel what the tires are doing😤 in speaking of the tires they feel like they barely have grip at high speeds feel like it's going to spin out like man Nissan stop making this car or make it with rwd in redo the interior n speaking of the interior the passenger side door panel is already feeling loose 🤦 and the seats are stiff the lumbar barely helps it's too ,a nice looking car the Sr package I'm talking about but man get a Accord, fusion, or 2013 Mazda 6 I drove that car one time but it felt like I was boy racer lol the gas is good on this car though it's just not a sports sedan like they advertised itself to be 💯💯
Laquan c Wow, I was so thinking of getting one... I don't know much about cars but you seem very well educated, you should have done a review I'd gladly watch... Scratch a Nissan from here on out lol 😂 😅
Anna Baby I drove hella cars and this damn near the worst it's just a cool looking car but it's not worth 26k more like 15k cause the interior is the same as the 2013 model SMH just some different material in some places
Laquan c Because I was like these Nissan cars are everywhere in Colorado they say it's a sports car and it's reliable but a Toyata or a Hyundai is way better in my opinion. And they're on sale for maybe 3 grand more. But it has more cities & Hways too.
I am thinking about a Honda Civic, Nissan Altima for great gas and look or the new 4 cyl Mustang convertible for OK gas and more power plus fun. What one should I get?
I rented a 2014-15 model of this car when I drove from Atlanta, GA to Jackson , TN last year for a family reunion, and it was horrible. That CVT transmission was awful and I hated it. The seats were just as bad especially driving for 6 hours round trip, and the ride quality was jankey at best. One of the worst new cars I ever driven in my life. The only things I remotely liked about the car was the push button start and the backup camera.
+Lord Maul3 I rented on for a 13 hour drive and felt the complete opposite, ride was smooth and the cvt was was silky smooth..... we were also blown away at how little fuel the car used...... loved the seats and there was ample interior room.
+Redline Reviews thank god, you are the only one who will review it right! Even Saabkyle didn't quite get it right, you go into the RIGHT details without rambling.
This car needs a better driver's seat. I felt so exhausted driving this car as a rental. The seat is not made for short people under 5'4". The cvt transmission is not that great either. Just too bad.
I love the altima, they lack options on some of the lower trim levels for example, paddle shifters or a manual transmission for people who want to treat a sedan like a sports car. I love the CVT I own a 2007 Altima, and I would buy another Nissan with a CVT any-day.
really wish you reviewed the 2016 Nissan Altima 3.5 SL instead of this thing, it's incredible how much better the 3.5 SL is compared to this hunk of junk
The Altima is the second most sold midsize sedan behind Camry. They sell more than Accords. So obviously Nissan is doing something right
KayleUknow so like your iPhone?
WretchedDrake
You are right, Nissan is something "right" which is to sell them to Enterprise, Hertz, Dollar car rental companies. Take aside of fleet and rental cars, the Accord sedan is actually the best selling mid-size sedan in American.
@@AAAAAAAA67890 Toyota does the same thing
@RoeRoe Customers aren't spending $30k on a car without cross shopping.
Haha no they aren’t doing anything right! Their CVT transmissions are absolute pure garbage! I can say that because I had an Altima with this transmission. They fail and go out prematurely. Ever since Nissan merged with Renault in 2002 their quality has been going downhill. Nissan used to make solid cars. The only reason why they sell so well is that that have a cheap price for what you get.
I love the Nissan Altima. I had a 2005, and today I bought a 2016. Very dependable, great gas mileage and I love the body style!!
Lol. I just bought one of these for my very first car. I love it and I was looking for more of a sporty sedan and this met my needs. But man you really bashed the car in this review:)
it's more like a bashing video instead of a review!
This guy is a little, lets say, expectationess, I just bought this car and cant wait to drive it, especially since I have been driving a 250k 1999 Honda Accord with no power steering, bad fuel economy, burnt oil smell in the cabin, clankity clank down the road for 6 years, I cant wait till Monday!!!!!!
@@andyp3834 how has it been for you?
Awesome car, 39 miles a gallon on the hwy, I can tell the transmission needs some TLC, I think I will have the oil changed, Excellent car with 1 weak spot ( that I know of) the transmission. hard to believe a car with 182 HP can get such good millage. especially the way I drive, LOL
@@andyp3834 yeah make sure you service that trans. What's wrong with it? Is it slipping
@@aayonce4 no, its seems a little jumpy sometimes, it has 70k, so its time.
If it had an Accord badge on it he would be in love with the car.
+Zachary May The Accord has more personality than this, which is funny because it used to be that the Altima was on the sportier side of the family sedan market and the Accord split the Camry and Altima on dynamics. Now, it would seem Nissan has lost their way with the Altima.
The accord is much more refined
+Mad Pistol and Nissan has addressed the less sporty driving dynamics and bland nature of the Altima with the new SR version
Honda is a very reliable brand
I love Japanese cars and I can tell you the Altima is a very nice car. Faster than the other 4 cyl cars and the suspension is very good.
Not very reliable though & don’t last like a Honda/Toyota
@@FT9chango5toyotas aren't even what they used to be so it doesn't matter

I was surprised you complained about the key fob, It needs no changing, it's compact, functional and because every door and the trunk opens by sensing the key you rarely need to press the keys. I hope they don't redesign it.
I agree it is a great design
agree 100%
Yes I hope they don't redesign it, its a great key fob one of the best and simple design

facts
I had a 2016 3.5 SL model for a rental for 3 days. Amazing car with that strong V6, but no Xenon Lights and no LED back lights.
I had a 2007 Nissan Altima four cylinder and had 280,000 reliable miles on it just sold it for $2,000 and bought a 2017 Nissan Altima great car just routine service
Do you still have the 2017? How has it been?
Nissan is the best, have a Sentr a with almost 100,000 and runs like new

But the 2015 had more issues with engine and transmission I'd rather get a 2018
That camera angle is always beautiful
nice camera work... like the driving footage
I like the new Altimas a lot but I do agree with you on the display button. It should be a phone button.
But don't Toyota and Nissan have fleet sales whereas Honda doesn't?
I believe that is true
+Jonathan Washington That's why Hondas especially the Accord has the highest resale value!
i love nissan altima...o have a 2005 one and still in good condition....nothinh to repare at all
Just bought the same exact thing except in the red one! Loving it!!!!!
Why would you need a phone button on the dash when it's right there at your finger tips on the wheel,Do you like to take your eyes off the road when your driving,
Perfect review & great car.
you just sound jaded about nissan.
this does appear to be a biased review!!
Some people just hate Nissan for some reason... I have always loved Nissan.. on my second Altima.. now the 2016'.. Love it ! The styling, ride, transmission, interior.. base model has everything you want and nothing more... perfect car in my eyes.. great gas miles.. What is not to like?? This guy seems biased as F...
they are comfy to ride in
Nearly the first comment .. I wonder if New Zealand will get the Altima and Maxima back, we're just left with the 2006 Maxima .. Nice review ;)
2008 Altima will still be the best Altima, this Altima is pretty sexy tho, especially the front fascia.
rear looks like either a Subaru legacy or a ford focus. and why do you care about the key fob it sits in your pocket.
I'm liking the way this looks. You get a lot for the money with Nissan. I'm beyond happy with my '16 Civic Ex-T :)
This altima looks great. It does not look like a camry.
That is good because the Camry is ugly inside and real ugly on the outside. The cruise control knob sticking out of the steering wheel is one of the dumbest ideas I have seen in a while.
Seen 1 with 60K miles on It i might have to grab. its 2022 now yall altimas still going strong ?
Just bought one man fingers cross
Common problem is cvt transmission failure
My 2017 with 95 is going fine. Getting a flush at 100k
Had 116k on my 16 when I traded it for a 22’ rogue. It still drove smooth as butter, just get the Cvt services done, let them warm up, and apply parking brake on hills.
I guess it'll be my first car by December!
I wish you could balance the sound level of the music with the level that speak. Otherwise, love all your reviews!
I have a 2016 Altima SV. Bought it to replace my totaled 2014 Altima S. I love my new one! She has a sunroof, navigation, heated seats/steering wheel, and blindspot warning with cross traffic alert, just to name some. All things my 2014 didn't have.
I'll never understand reving a 4 cyl motor to red line.
You speaking so fast and I cant gotcha you some times . I learn english new , and love cars , love your videos and love american cars . Thank you for video. :)
Gurur Dağtekin your English is getting better
This car would have so much more credibility if it wasn't so popular with damn rental companies. This is why I'll never buy a Nissan.
icantw8 what does the rental companies having anything to do with the most popular vehicle? How does it devalue this vehicle?
It's simple really. Rental companies typically replace their car every 2-3 years so when these cars hit the market, the resale value goes down because of supply and demand.
I also agree that the desplay button on the dash is necessary and it should be a phone button.
Nobody cares how the engine sounds these cars fly like hell fast! Like a v6
I think I would’ve mentioned the transmission fluid has to be changed every 60,000 miles and you don’t need to drive it like a race car or that CVT is likely to mess up.
I go 40k on my Altima and Cube. And yes you can't stomp on it.
When will you do a review of the 2016 Honda Accord, can do a V6 touring sedan?
At least, it doesnt have a pair of fly's eyes like Accord.
I have a 16 SR. Good power, once on the freeway the thing with the 2.5 can go! Just turning radius is horrendous. Thats it for my complaints. Very reliable
if Altima is not a good car than why there is so many Altima all over NYC. I see more Altima compare to its segment. Camry is known for Taxi here so am not counting that. Accords advantage the resale value, but not like before. My sister bought a used like new 2015 accord sport for 14800 cash with 18k mile. Same guy also selling a 2015 Altima SV for 14500 with 15k mile. First i thought Accord is lemon but both car offers car fax report plus manufacture warranty. I told her to get the Accord. But the price difference isn't that big. Later i realised that altima offered some pretty neat extra than Accord. Such as remote start, heated steering, push start plus no worry for door handle, trunk to unlock. Maybe those extra option getting people attention. Now the reliability matters also subjective. Driving behaviour is a big fact for any car. If you take care the maintainance stuf it gona last longer. I see you just under rate all nissan vehicle up to bottom. They aren't that bad
facts, I have the 2014 an I love it, and I'm coming from Honda, and I love it was more, my Honda didn't have as much features as my nissan, and everywhere I turn in Brooklyn I see one...this review is garbage
+yardygalkeepitreal he's one of those reviewers who wants all cars to have a v6 or v8 and a manual kinda guy if you know what I mean. Doesn't adapt to the new world
Local dealership has a couple "2016 Altima 2.5 SV" for $15,000. Would that make it worth the price for this car? They're brand new, and was thinking of going and looking at one.
The rear reminds me heavily of the Mercedes E350.
He nit picks every little detail it's honestly annoying
Quick story Im now driving to work in the "new" 2017 Nissan Altima sr 2.5 "sport" model for 3 weeks now this definitely not the first car I've ever drove to my job, I work at O'Hare so it's a good 50 mile drive from the city so I'm totally a 150+ miles everyday you know with a little a running around in stuff but look from the "pro" reviews they said it's suppose to have better steering n suppose to have a more updated Crapvt that suppose to mimick a traditional Auto 🙄😂 (they not fooling nobody) and with the paddle shifters that suppose to mimick gears well... first off this car is very unstable on the highway at speeds off 70 mph it's like the wind can whistle this bitch off the road it understeer scary ASF at bends that a 07-10 Taurus,14 Corolla ,13 & 14 Malibu ltz,10&14 Impala ltz, 05,09,14,Honda Accord 2.4 ivtec ,fiesta-st,focus titanium, 11 Ford fusion se v6 and i4 ,Chevy Sonic RS, Lexus es330, 06 Lincoln Town car, 09 Toyota Camry se 4 cyl , 04 crown Vic p71, all felt perfectly stable in buckled down to the road and I've been taking this same high way for years now this car has a nice NA 4 cyl but it would be more bad ass with a manual or a regular 7 speed and change the awful ass steering twitchy ASF at high speed and numb asl at middle speed then stiff at low speed man just let me feel what the tires are doing😤 in speaking of the tires they feel like they barely have grip at high speeds feel like it's going to spin out like man Nissan stop making this car or make it with rwd in redo the interior n speaking of the interior the passenger side door panel is already feeling loose 🤦 and the seats are stiff the lumbar barely helps it's too ,a nice looking car the Sr package I'm talking about but man get a Accord, fusion, or 2013 Mazda 6 I drove that car one time but it felt like I was boy racer lol the gas is good on this car though it's just not a sports sedan like they advertised itself to be 💯💯
Laquan c Wow, I was so thinking of getting one... I don't know much about cars but you seem very well educated, you should have done a review I'd gladly watch... Scratch a Nissan from here on out lol 😂 😅
Anna Baby I drove hella cars and this damn near the worst it's just a cool looking car but it's not worth 26k more like 15k cause the interior is the same as the 2013 model SMH just some different material in some places
Anna Baby it's like you wonder why Nissan be giving these cars away lol everybody that don't know about cars just fall for the looks and call it a day
Laquan c Right I was like how though? My mom's 41 year old friend thought he was stuntin like booooy wait.... Lol
Laquan c Because I was like these Nissan cars are everywhere in Colorado they say it's a sports car and it's reliable but a Toyata or a Hyundai is way better in my opinion. And they're on sale for maybe 3 grand more. But it has more cities & Hways too.
I am thinking about a Honda Civic, Nissan Altima for great gas and look or the new 4 cyl Mustang convertible for OK gas and more power plus fun. What one should I get?
I have a Jaguar xe and I got this car as a rental when I got into an accident and I almost felt like trading. Lol
Surprisingly the second most sold mid size sedan in the segment.... wtf
I thought this was the 3rd?
Camry 1st
accord 2nd?
I rented a 2014-15 model of this car when I drove from Atlanta, GA to Jackson , TN last year for a family reunion, and it was horrible. That CVT transmission was awful and I hated it. The seats were just as bad especially driving for 6 hours round trip, and the ride quality was jankey at best. One of the worst new cars I ever driven in my life. The only things I remotely liked about the car was the push button start and the backup camera.
+Lord Maul3 I rented on for a 13 hour drive and felt the complete opposite, ride was smooth and the cvt was was silky smooth..... we were also blown away at how little fuel the car used...... loved the seats and there was ample interior room.
im buying this car tomorrow so thought id come to this channel and get the lil homeys 2 cents
+redlinereview do you have a review for the 2016 nissan maxima
Yup! That video is going up this coming week :)
+Redline Reviews Aboot time mate!
+cesar gonzalez dont him
+Redline Reviews thank god, you are the only one who will review it right! Even Saabkyle didn't quite get it right, you go into the RIGHT details without rambling.
+Vikk 54 exactly his reviews are the best
Honda Accord Sport is the best car for the money in this segment. Easy buy.
But you may be a rocket scientist that does not understand the importance of this vehicle for nissan.
I agree with 25 % of your review.
This car needs a better driver's seat. I felt so exhausted driving this car as a rental. The seat is not made for short people under 5'4". The cvt transmission is not that great either. Just too bad.
Would this be a good first car ? Any and all opinions are welcome lol
I feel if Nissan Loaned him a fully loaded V6, the Altima might've gotten more love.
That is one ghastly looking trim level
I love the altima, they lack options on some of the lower trim levels for example, paddle shifters or a manual transmission for people who want to treat a sedan like a sports car. I love the CVT I own a 2007 Altima, and I would buy another Nissan with a CVT any-day.
My 2018 has paddle shifters and a stiffer suspension but other than that, being an SR, it's not that much different from the S and SV trims.
Toyota lacks alot of technology too and make u pay over price
Is the 2016 Nissan Altima any good? My parents are thinking about buying one when I start college
Why does he always complain about hard or soft touch in places YOU DON'T TOUCH.
i don't get why he or anyone complains about that.
+Ike n meek Weather you like it or not, I appreciate knowing and if I was a car buyer, I would like to know.
+Ike n meek He cries about the auto window switches too. Like its to hard to hold a button down for 2 extra seconds.
+Ironman you're right, I don't like it, nor do I care if you want to know.
+Ike n meek Then don't watch the video if it upsets you that much
+Brenden A don't worry I stopped about half way.
hey redline which do you like better the 2014 maxima or this 2016 altima?
really wish you reviewed the 2016 Nissan Altima 3.5 SL instead of this thing, it's incredible how much better the 3.5 SL is compared to this hunk of junk
I hope this car looks better in person, none too impressed.
