The 2004-2006 Altima is still my favorite model year of it. The 4 cylinder engine also had a 4-speed automatic while the V6 had the 5-speed automatic with manual shift
our family has owned one since new it now has 388,880 miles and the floorboards rusted out and fell out lamo but we still drive her and love her buying a second one as my first car is nice
This Altima in the 2.5s trim was available with a 4 speed automatic or a 5 speed manual, the 5 speed auto is only available in the 3.5 SE, 3.5 SL and the 3.5 SE-R
That Altima is older. Mine is a 2005 with 101k miles and it's fantastic and sounds great. This 2006 has more miles which makes it older and has these little problems but all in all its a great car and actually the best car out on the market.
I love my car. I love the Altima so much. I remember how much I didn’t want to have a front wheel drive foreign car for my first. Now I have to say I’m very surprised with all its known for and everything about it. It’s awesome 10/10 would recommend!
How can I make my Altima start up so fast like this Altima?, Right not it turns over for several seconds before it starts? Once started it runs great, it does have a new fuel pump, btw..
@@Jaygorski mine was doing this . And I knew it wasn’t the fuel pump , so…. I changed the camshaft and crankshaft position sensors , I bought them from hitachi ( literally the brand that Nissan gets this part from ) better to buy it from hitachi not Nissan ( Nissan will rip you off )
@@Jaygorski after changing the sensors she’s been starting up first crank every time ( knock on wood ) . I assume I’ll have to clean or change the sensors again in the future bc this is actually a manufacturer issue
@@elijahjones8351 Is this something that can happen just all of the sudden, it was fine last May or June, then al of the sudden it doesn't start right off the bat. Why would I need a camshaft and the sensor?
They can be good cars if you take care of them. The one I had, had nothing but problems because I was the idiot that bought it without a mechanic looking at it. The previous owner half ass put the engine together and now I'm left to get it fixed.
@@dillonh321 I can confirm this statement. My 06 Altima with 83,000 miles runs better than all of my friends altimas that are 2007+ . That CVT is made of glass LMFAO . 4 speed jatco auto is still shitty though , deff would’ve went with the 5 speed but didn’t have that option . Transmission rebuild coming soon though . I fucking love this car tbh . In my opinion if this car had a great transmission then this car would go down as one of the greats . Nissan really should’ve stayed away from JATCO but I can’t really say that bc Nissan owns JATCO LMAO
I just got a 05 2.5 s and i love it plenty of space and room its like the perfect mid sized family car but i think itll be funner if i got the 3.5 because of the HP difference
I also have a sensor go out and have to press a hole made near the park (p) symbol to get it out of park and into drive. This is very common problem from what I heard.
+nukka200 true, thats my only complaint on the car. theyre reliable, comfortable, and the design still looks good (imo) but that mpg is not too good, i dont know if its gearing or what, but it drinks like a 6 cyl
3Soul ENT yeah I don't doubt it's a good car, but V6 mileage from a god damn 4 cylinder?? THAT'S JUST RETARDED! kills the car right away. same as the VW rabbit.. it's a damn compact car and gets 19/27. I was baffled. WHY IN THE HELL would you buy a small car that gets V6 mileage?!?! every other small compact car I know gets 29/40, almost double that! RIDICULOUS!
+Pat Martin I dont know if I agree that it was good for the time. I'm comparing it to a solara or camry 4 cylinder OF THE SAME year. that gets 24/33. in my book if a 4 cylinder cant break 30 mpg MINIMUM on the highway, it's shit. toyota makes v6's that scratch 29 mpg almost. its 19/28. that's just unacceptable for an I4! I can only imagine what the V6 gets in this car! horrid mileage! *shutters*
***** when i say it drinks like a 6 cyl, i do mean a modern 6 cyl yes. it got about the same mpg as my 2006 325i when i drove it conservatively. on fuelly dot com people are barely breaking 25 mpg. i guess I'm comparing it to cars like celicas and the 200sx. i still think its a great car to own, but theres better options out there if mpg is a concern .

You're one of the few TH-camrs still doing USED car reviews.
Saabkyle04 and Redline only cover brand new, top of the line cars.
Keep it up! :D

Wheel Bearing Or Bearings Are Done For Sure?!

what the hell is up with the tires? sounds awful!
Awesome, detailed review! Thanks!
When I'm older and get one I'll leave it in the drive way for a couple on days

Your starter could be going bad. You should also check your spark plugs
@@tornadotayte Well, the engine turns over fast enough, spark plugs were changed just a few years ago, maybe 20,000 miles ago.

I have had 2 of them , 2005 and 2006 and they come with a 4 speed automatic , if you wanted the 5 speed you had to go for the SEL 3.5 V- 6 .
There is no SEL trim
SE or SL , SE R no SEL
@@joeyysee6632 The V6 , genius .

It's actually the last good Altima. Later years had a jatco cvt transmission that need rebuilt every 60k no matter how well you take care of them.

Good review & great Nissan.
Read reviews for it not what he is saying? Car shuts off oil problem like Honda Right?
I just got a 05 2.5 s and i love it plenty of space and room its like the perfect mid sized family car but i think itll be funner if i got the 3.5 because of the HP difference
How is it till this day
@@saucegodtv5392 it was running good at 175k miles transmission was still smooth but I sold the 05 now I’m thinking on getting a different car
@@joeyysee6632 dang I was going to sell it to but glad I didn't they are collectibles at this point with all the inflation and not enough cars.
I love this car. Does anybody knows if this car has Bluetooth connection?
Right! Cause I’m interested
No
the car yore looking at is an 2006 altima es 2.5
ES2-5 has the engine RB25 no turbo...
does the drivers seat go back pretty far from the wheel and dash?
Yes plenty of space and room
i love this car. i have it in brown
Low milles this car really feeling good not shake very still
Does anyone know if this would be a good first car?
Ruby yes it would
Jessica I just got mine it's perfect
Very great first car without a doubt.
its small
@@jackadams4825 it's not small. 40in front leg room, 37in rear. 15cft trunk, if you need bigger its a luxury car, minivan or suv.
Thank you, that was very informative.
haha i like how your youtube cover pic is no where close to what the actual car video is....lol
How about the 2005?
Can u do a start up and review of a 2015 Lincoln navigator
good review! =]
thanks
Does it have aux cord system
Ray: no if you want that you’ll have to do a radio replacement kit and install a new radio
Sounds like a tires getting ready to explode lol.
+Chevymalibuls agreed lol
nice review
wheel bearing is toast....
Next time plz use a CLEANER car,Thankyou!!!!.
The noise are the tie rods .... they are famous for doing that ...... I'd had two of them .
do the tie rods go out very often? a chronic problem? or not very often? someone told me it could be a sway bar link in mine.
I also have a sensor go out and have to press a hole made near the park (p) symbol to get it out of park and into drive. This is very common problem from what I heard.
That sounds like wheel bearings thou....
I know your comment is old but this made me chuckle. Just had mines replaced.
Pum pum pum rum rum nice sound lol
+Giobertonic bahahaha i heard that 2
I want a Altima
I need glass for sunroof
Nice bro
Ignition delay
21/27 from a fucking 4 cylinder?? are you serious? that's horrid for any 4 cylinder. PASS! still buying an 06 solara coupe 24/33 mpg
+nukka200 true, thats my only complaint on the car.
theyre reliable, comfortable, and the design still looks good (imo)
but that mpg is not too good, i dont know if its gearing or what, but it drinks like a 6 cyl

hell my 1997 240sx got better mpg and thats supposed to be a sport coupe !
That's not what reviews for it says😵🥴🤔😂🥺😳😩😵
Worst car i ever had
I've had mine 16 years. Almost have 500k miles. I'm happy.🙂
I still have mine and his had almost 300k on it and it runs like new
then its either 2 things. maintain your fucking car OR or stop buying garbage used cars
My 250k mile Altima is a fucking beast, it has never left me stranded
