What do you think of the new AWD Altima? Would it make it more appealing if you could get a better deal on it? Would you want us to try to get everyone better deals on new cars?
Having a TheStraightPipes $500 loyalty discount would be awesome for new cars! Please make it happen in the States!
That car use gtr from AWD
I hear bad things about Nissan reliability these days, especially compared to Japanese rivals. If I was into Japanese brands (which I'm not), I'd go with something from Toyota, which includes Lexus.
@TheStraightPipes are you going to be the Canadian CarWow?
Totally! Always good to not have to overpay.
I prefer the "I'm Jakub I'm Yuri and we're going for a drive" intro to the "Here's what you can expect".
It's still there
I know it’s still there I’m just used to your opener intro shot as the first thing you see with the Continental sponsorship and the double door close. That’s your guys look thing or branding per say.
Agreed. Why do “spoilers”? It’s just duplication. Sorry.
Yeah, I have to agree with these guys. Not a fan of pre-review review-clips, it just seems like a way for some people to see the highlights then immediately close the video. The original intro is nice, we you jump in the car and then the viewers jump into the review.
@@TheStraightPipes Yes, but the old intro is all you needed. I can appreciate what you are trying to do though. Maybe you'll refine it over time.
I feel more inclined to skip through the trailer intro because it's just stuff I know I'm going to see in the real video, which is the video I'm trying to watch right now
pretty sure its to make their videos longer, which makes them more money on youtube
Different strokes for different folks I guess. I like the new format.
SAME
I agree. Like the old format better.
Yes, please do away with the preview. The videos aren't THAT long...
Yeah guys, eliminite the "coming up in this review" part. It does nothing to convince me to watch a video I'm already going to watch 👍
I disagree. Its not good for people who watch their videos regularly. But it works for the casual people that may only be watching the review to look up the car before purchase.
Its a car video. Nothing complex about it
@@googleleavemynamealone9145 Well said and very true.
I agree. Got so used to the instant intro, the preview throws it off for me.
Yeah, I’m already here to watch the video, just get to the video.
The intro is nice but I think it's better suited to put on your TH-cam and Instagram story, and leave out of the full video. Just a suggestion, you guys are the experts! Keep up the great work!
No
No, it’s made so the viewer would watch the video longer, so the guys could sell more advertising
@@sergeymeshkov Even without the intro, the video is still more than 10 mins that many seem to dread, so I don't get what does that intro bit have to do with the adverts.
Thanks for the feedback. It's been working well for what we intended, giving people a preview of what to expect in the video to decide whether they want to sit through 16 minutes. No, it's not for making more money since it's only 15-20 extra seconds. Padding videos with forced extra time only hurts performance
@@metromusic5725 Relax. There's no harm in trying things.
This car screams “your Uber/Lyft is arriving”
Nah, not reliable enough
Most accurate comment I've ever read on TH-cam.
Screams "upgrade your rental to medium size for $20 more"
@Diesel TDI people own Nissan's because they are cheap, especially when used... not because of their reliability
@@knightride9635 I do uber in mine. Have 246k miles so. Lmfao...
“I’m jakub I’m Yuri and we’re going for a drive” is iconic. I loved the way you guys started the videos before
We still do. It's in the same time spot lol
@@TheStraightPipes why would u spoil whats in the vid tho. its not like were in a documentary m8
The Altimate rental car
Yep that's about right. Plastic, soul-less, cheap feeling, disposable cars. Would take a 2003 Maxima over this junk in a heartbeat.
I just got done driving one of these as a rental while my car was in the shop getting some body work done. One of the most unenjoyable weeks of my life lol.
@@ThePhobophile Yep. Nothing more than tools to get you from A to B. We've got a Rogue on lease because it was cheap and it goes back after 3 years before it starts to fall apart. Had a 1995 Quest back in the day. Tank. Only needed oil changes until I sold it in 2008 with 165k on the clock.
Wife had one as a rental while her car was getting body work. I got to drive it a couple of times, and it was a FWD SL. I liked it quite a bit, though there were nitpicks. For one, I disagree with Jakub that the steering feels normal. It is both light and quick, making it easy to accidentally input too much steering... It felt pretty over-boosted around town, though that improved at highway speed. I also thought the screen between the gauges was a bit crowded, so I didn't really look at it too much. That said, it rode pretty smoothly and was overall very comfy. There was less wind and road noise than I thought there'd be. Not a bad way to get from A to B.
@@ARentz07 And that awful CVT...

@@Miata_On_The_Homestead I see more Mercedes and BMW in the ghettos than Nissan Altimas lol
@@carloscampos-kl2kl it's all about that depreciation curve, and German cars depreciate fast lol.
@@Miata_On_The_Homestead cheap and spacious car so whats the problem
Crazy this day and age you can make a comment like "Hyundai and Kia are industry standards for _______ " and its not a joke at all.
Times have changed for the better for all.
I noticed the same and I was surprised, still remember when I was driving crappy rental Hyundai Accent in 2010
With help from ex-Audi and BMW employees, they redesigned a lot of cars in their line up and actually made them competitive.
@@joeljeffrey9139 Yup, head of design from Audi and head of M Division.
They really need to let Albert Biermann engineer a chassis from the ground up for a few sporty models so we can get that true N/GT line going.
The G80 and Stinger GT is just ok if it wasn't for its underpinnings.
1) Accord
2) Sonata
3) Camry
4) Altima
5) Legacy
6) Passat
Place to Optima at the top of this list.
Accord, Mazda6, Camry... in that order.
I've never been this early let alone for a car review! Speaks volumes about how entertaining you guys are! Its like watching actuall friends talking about a car and not a review! Keep doing what ya do best and heres to 1 million this year!
I completely agree! Straight Pipes is THE BEST car review TH-cam channel. The dynamic between the two hosts really sets a great tone for the show.
Nissan: The Chrysler of Japan.
Dylan Lewis yep and most Chrysler and Nissan buyers are rude and ghetto!!
@ i've only been saying this forever. however i'd say there are the chevy of japan
No. That honor goes to Mitsubishi
@@iBlewupthemoon98 no, not anymore, there cars outside of u.s still drives like a champ. I went to philippines and ive seen mitsubishis that are 20 years older so no I dont believe that
@@iBlewupthemoon98 I had that thought, but they hardly sell any cars in the U.S. anymore. Both definitely peaked in the 90s.
Please go back to just the "were going for a drive" intro. I dont like the new ones
It's still there lol
@@TheStraightPipes I like Yuri sweatshirts
@@TheStraightPipes you guys respond to all these comments like you don't know what people are talking about... Do you?
14:03 WOW What is that sick head movement?? That's a big Jakubdroid glitch if I've ever seen one.
Nice editing lol
I have owned one since they were launched (my first Nissan). Living in Canada and love the confidence of driving in snow with this AWD. Fuel consumption pretty good. My favourite part is the ProPilot. Some reviewers knock it but I drive 80km return everyday with ProPilot engaged for 60km. The cvt makes it lighter on fuel and have fake gears when a good song starts playing- rest of the time you don’t notice it. I bought it for commuting and the Altima excels at it.
you guys ever thought about doing a quick sound system review?
They could but unless they use royalty free music, they would get sued and copyrighted
@@kanamekuran23 yeah that'd be fine, TheTopher always uses the same 2 songs and it's perfect. i just really like that he does it.
Yeeeee
Tomorrow I’m actually looking forward to purchasing the 2020 SR Platinum AWD, I had the 2019 S model and loved it , great in the snow! I wish I never got rid of it (sold to get out of a payment) great gas mileage and very comfortable ride. I love the look with the 19inch rims and look forward to the platinum trim options. 😊
The Camry now has optional AWD. It’s coming this spring
If only it existed at this moment
TheStraightPipes it does in the us!
Does the AWD Mazda6 with the new Turbo not exist in Canada either???
@@Dstinct_HaKai no
@@thatcarguy2002 you cant buy it right now on the showroom floor can u?
I rented this for a long road trip last weekend - loved it. Drove great
And a CVT
Colin Kao and a cvt
And a cvt
The only problem is the CVT
Other CVT aren't bad, its just Jatco thats the problem. Makes the worlds worse transmission.
I had an 2014 Altima. Seats were also super comfortable and had great fuel economy. One huge problem, the CVT blew out and I had to change the whole transmission. I really enjoyed commuting in the Altima before all the problems though
I love how you guys go off of their review of the car and don’t drive it your self.. the CVT is not bad, and it doesn’t scream “Uber” as y’all in the comments say it does. it’s a good car, I have a 2019 SR + the premium package, and with paddle shifters and with the 2.5L 188hp and 180lb-ft. They didn’t even get the power right.. how are you guys gonna go off of them😂 And it’s pretty fast for it’s class and it’s power ban..
Power Ranger, Dragon Ball Z, Mortal Kombat, Pokemon,
Sabrina, Resse, Doug, Sailor Moon, Biker Mice from Mars, Street Sharks, X-Men. Some of my favorites in the 90s.
Re: Compass in cars. Kind of, sometimes I'll "lock" my SatNav to having north on top. Sometimes I want to go somewhere without the SatNav route to see if I can stumble onto something interesting. Knowing the cardinal directions helps keep me roughly towards the destination.
100% agree about the seats. I rented one last summer and found them to be some of the most comfortable seats I've ever sat in. The only seats equally as comfortable are Genesis and Lexus.
The new intro is meh. I would stick to the old way. Also I dont like change so probably dont listen to me.
I love my 2019 Altima SV AWD. Best bang for the buck. Good handling, great fuel economy, Excellent ride/Quire and very Comfy seats. Great on long trip.
6:58 categorized by looks
#1 Accord
#2 Sonata
#3 Altima
#4 Camry
#5 Legacy
#6 Passat
Looks are all subjective. These are just my personal opinion. This new Nissan could be great with slightly better build quality and without the CVT.
The Accord looks too extreme... I'd pick the Camry's design over the Accord.
1:sonata
2:Altima
3:Camry
4: Accord
5:Legacy
6:Passat
@G Mohal I've not seen the Mazda6, but since I've seen the Mazda3, I can assume that all Mazda's have the same front end. The Mazda3 looks good though, but only in the sedan form. I'll put it as second on my list, after the Camry.
For me the Mazda 6 would go 2 place in terms of experience
Midsize-sedan looks ranking:
1. Hyundai Sonata
2. Honda Accord
3. Toyota Camry and VW Passat (tie)
4. Nissan Altima and Subaru Legacy (tie)
two things that showed there is a lack of taste - 1, rank sonata (cat fish) as first; 2, no mazda 6.

2.5)Kia Optima
Knows nothing about cars when you chose Hyndai Sonata. That slow ass shitty performance car. But does have nice interior. Oh wait you must be a fruity driver. To even choose a damn camry as well. Damn grandma driver at it's finest.
Yo, did you guys forget about the Mazda 6? It's the best looking in the segment!
Seat comfort is sadly Nissan's only redeeming quality these days.
Probably why people who dont know much about cars buy these so much, they don't know about the cvt just that its the most comfortable car they tested
@@jacobrael9872 good point! Don't forget the discounts and the fact that Nissan will approve anyone and everyone even if it has to be @18% APR.
Depends which Nissan you buy. The Sentra, i would wish that car on no man
Let's not forget Nissan is the second largest Japanese automaker
Seat comfort is actually really important. Most cars have very uncomfortable seats these days. Like the Honda Accord.
ACTUALLY REGARDING THE COMPASS! I have a 2017 Ford Fiesta and I live in Colorado, and when I am not where I can see the mountains to get my bearings my compass actually comes in handy with getting around! (For me anyhow) And the nice part is it is up in the infotainment corner and (as small as the screen is) doesn't really take anything away. Love the channel guys!
Blowing my mind when you're talking about looks. THE PASSAT LOOKS BETTER?! I've been thinking the exterior is the Altimas strongest side.
PookDaWook The Altima looks like it has a goatee. I really don’t care for that.
Altima is, hands down, the best looking car in the segment at the moment.
I know this is a weird request, but you guys should review the 2019 Nissan Frontier. It’s really dated but kinda cool to get a retro-ish car brand new. Off-road review maybe??? I’m weirdly tempted to get one to be my daily next to my Stinger 😂
Aj Amini Be careful about Nissans though. They have reliability issues ever since Renault bought a majority stake in Nissan. The CEO that Renault brought in cheapened production and parts which break easily and he fled Japan when found laundering money as well. Even Nissan knows about the reliability issues and wants to separate from Renault. All I am saying is to be careful and if you are alright with spending money fixing it, then go on ahead. 😁
@@willemjongeneelen7661 Nissan was also bankrupt, so he also saved the company
Timothy Zajdela And Nissan is in the same place once again.
@@willemjongeneelen7661 That's why the Frontier is perfect! It hasn't been redesigned for 15 years. Engineered and designed well before Renault had a chance to muck it up.
Christopher Christie Well then better do it while you still can. Rumor has it that it’s getting a refresh soon. (2021?)
Please stop with the preview before the episode, instead place it at the end of the last episode... Just a thought
Yahhh like a summary
This looks way better than a passat donate or Camry. I love the look and comfort of this car.
When are you reviewing the new 2020 Alfa Romeo Giulia Qv?
As soon as fca can get us one. So who knows 🤷🏼♂️
@@TheStraightPipes the usual Italian organization hahaha
As soon as FCA finds one that works. I heard about a guy in Utah had one with no issues but I'm sure that's and old wives tale! 😂🤣😂🤣
spick625 from experience the new Alfa’s are very very reliable
@@guusberkhof8429 sure but no One in Europe buy Alfa,are very expensive like german car
1. Fusion (if it were to continue)
2. Sonata
3. Camry
4. Altima
5. Accord
6. Legacy
7. Passat
Not sure about the Altima, but thanks for getting back to reviewing cars that most of us can drive.
I have rented a 2018 Altima before and those seats are absolutely amazing. I would absolutely buy an Altima just for those seats.
Vinh Luu and that was the last model, the 2019’s and up are sooo much better
Google "nissan cvt." Lease a nissan, don't buy. Doubt you could go over 100,000 miles with those CVTs.
$35k really doesn't get you a whole lot, does it? The entire vehicle just seems... underwhelming
The car isn’t all that sporty, but it has a lot of features. And if you are in America, you can get the more powerful VC-Turbo engine
I rented a 2019 Nissan Altima with the cloth seats and drove it from N. Ca. to St. George UTAH, in one day. My son and I found the Altima's front seats to be the most comfortable we had ever sat in/on, for a long trip!
New intro . . NAH !! Everything else excellent as usual.
Crazy how different this is than it would be in, say, 2005, but, here goes, from best to worst, and only based on looks:
Camry
Sonata
Accord
Nissan
VW
Subaru
The 2020 sonata would be at the bottom of my list.
Scotty Kilmer would say otherwise about this car 😂
Q D because Scotty Kilmer is an ancient idiot who belongs in an ancient history museum rather than a garage.
He only deals with old junkers, he has a huge bias
He is more knowledgeable than two millennials
@@mikeduncan7552 Ok boomer
@@IChewIceCream69 ok justin bieber
This car is awesome. I love the comfy seats, climate control system, handling and overall looks. I do however do not care for large grills because they will look goofy and dated in just a couple years. In 2017 I rented an Altima for a 250 mile trip to pick up my new 2017 Fiesta SE, and I was very impressed with the handling, comfort, system interface and lack of road noise. Unfortunately however, I kind of wanted to cry as I had to drive the Fiesta back home knowing how good the driving experience could have been were I not such a cheap skate.
I use a compass pretty often including the ones in cars
I have a compass in my car and it saved me hundreds of time! It's so easy to find your way in the city but also where cellular data doesn't reach.
By looks:
Sonata
Accord
Altima
Passat
Camry
Legacy
By all-around pkg:
Accord
Sonata
I wound’t buy anything else
Frozia I agree with ur list
I test drove the Legacy and rented the Camry. I found the Legacy much much better than the Camry.
Question;
Why you guys not providing any information about fuel economy in your reviews ??? I think its kind of important for a lot of people . Great job on everything else :):):)
I dont like the preview tbh. I prefer the just get into it going for a drive!
The only time I’ve ever driven or even really noticed a Nissan Altima is when I’ve used it as a rental car and I think that really tells you everything you need to know about it.
“I’m Jakub and I’m Yuri”. It wasn’t broke DONT FIX IT.
To me, the intro supplies a feel of quality which you guys definitely provide.
I’m here to express my displeasure with the review preview at the beginning
I think the intro it's good for new people that aren't subscribed,but for someone who has been subscribed for some time now no,I skip it
I feel like you guys fished real hard to make a positive title for this car lol
I liked the old intro with scenes and music. Boys yall had it
I hope Nissan offer optional 8-speed direct shift AT with the new Altima and AWD system with the VC-Turbo engine. Thanks.
Never if u want something sport go but. Infinity q50 60 the altiMa is just mid size sedan gas saver is the car you buy to take your kids to school or go to the store or work
"A Red bull's nightmare" You guys totally nailed that one 🤣
Nissan doesn't make anything that interests me anymore. The competition has passed them by
In what? I test drove most of the mid-sized cars and the Altimas and Maximas were amazing. I don't really trust the CVT too much but style, comfort, handling, tech, and performance were definitely on the higher end. My rental, while I was shopping for a new car, was the Camry and I hated it but Toyota is extremely reliable.
@@kalel33 Altima is literally the worst midsize you could get. What is actually worst then a Altima for midsize cars?
@@Swagalious689 I had a Toyota Camry as a rental for 3 weeks while I was looking for a new car and I hated it. I did really like the Altima that I had for a rental the year before, but I don't trust the CVT of the Altima to last.
Sweet hoodie Yuri! Nice review as well. You guys rock!
It's a very nice looking sedan with a great interior and fantastic seats but as long as it still has that garbage tier Nissan CVT it'll still just be a pig with lipstick on.
1. Sonata
2. Accord
3. Legacy
4. Altima
5. Camry
6. Passat
Cool you tired something different but I prefer you guys just saying "were going for a drive"
We still do!
@@TheStraightPipes yes you do but just doing that as your intro was one of the reasons why I started watching in the first place.
Reporting in, I use the compass in my car regularly. In places where all of the roads look the same and are arranged in a grid, it makes it easy to make sure you’re going the right direction.
Wish "Here's What to Expect In This Car Review" clips a bit little shorter maybe 10 to15 secs max
My Vw Tiguan has a compass, here in Argentina where phone signal disappears after a few Kilometers from the city, sometimes when we are in the middle of the field it is quite helpful. But that’s it, only for some rural area or a place we never been before where our GPS can’t find anything! So, hello from Argentina!! Your channel is awesome!!
Thanks for showing love to everyday sedans, and driving in winter like a man. About the preview intro. You are brave for changing things. Dont listen to the naysayers. Look at your numbers instead, they will tell you if it is the right way to go or not. You do have a business going on here after all.
Amazing how Yuri and Jakob dont agree on so many things but still get along
Nissan keeps doing nothing to make me want to buy a nissan versus the competetion.
Since the competition is the legacy, would you take the legacy over this?
CmanCorporations Yes
@@CmanCorporations probably, at least then you'll get 50/50 awd instead of fwd biased.
ranking on looks-
1. Honda accord
2. Toyota Camry
3. Nissan Altima
4. Hyundai sonata
5. Volkswagen Passat
6. Subaru legacy
The transmission is the downside of this car
The whole car is a downside. Nissan has fallen a long way down.
Jonathan Losito lol me too
I also think it's needs a whole new look. The V design is real boring and dated.
@@constructionbootgazer I rented one about 14 months ago for about 2 1/2 weeks. I really enjoyed the car but would not buy it because of the CVT. If it had a regular transmission I maybe would have bought one. I drove the Camry this year for 3 weeks and I was more than happy to drop it back off to the rental. I didn't like it at all.
They should put that eight speed from the new titan in all of their cars
This would be my start up Hyundai,Nissan,Toyota,Honda,Subaru,Volkswagen
This car was built for rental car fleets and people who aren't into cars.
For a Nissan, it’s not that bad. People who have poor credit, rental fleets and Uber drivers (al. Nissans core markets), will love this!
I'm betting the transmission failed after the review 😂
That's being a little generous, don't you think?
Compass is still useful for orienting your self and useful for storm chasers and it's a cool thing to have
Very comfortable seats, perfect for people that drive all day: Uber drivers and drug dealers
Ok
Have you ever actually even seen a drug dealer behind the wheel of their car while carrying their "product" for any extended period of time on a daily basis?
The seats in Nissan’s are incredibly comfortable.
I rank the six sedans:
1. Accord (by far)
2. Passat (understated but classy, esp. the R Line)
3. Sonata (the front is hideous to me but the rest is good)
4. Camry
5. Altima (it looks okay but Nissan front ends make me cringe a little)
6. Legacy (unoffensive but dated)
Finally someone mentioned the passat!!! I agree with this list.
I like the older intro way better than the new one
Yuri’s clothes are so colourful lol
Branawaan Sivakaran A.K.A The_CarFather gei
I used my compass in my moms 15 Rogue while on the way to Daytona this summer when we got lost and didn’t have any cell service. It kept me heading in the right direction and got me back to the highway I needed to be on.
When you really like Nissans but they’ve been releasing essentially the same cars for almost 10 years now. FeelsBadMan
I deliberately put a visible compass in my vehicles if they don't have one. I used the one built into my truck 3 times in the last 2 weeks while I was running unmarked forest roads with a map at intersections to double check my locations. I always want to make sure I know what direction I'm headed. I'm sure that can't just be me!
You haven"t addressed the Elephant in the room; It"s a sedan, and I like the style.
Grand tour style intro..
Plus you guys are jaded by all the sports cars, immediately calling this a slow car, and despite it not being a rocket the average consumer doesnt need 300hp.
I've never seen a tach so useless, they didn't even bother to use all of the numbers.... Skipping "1".
I like my compass in my car. When you first start your navigation with GPS it helps identifying which direction you going.
Yuri goes rastafarian? :D

PLEASE GET RID OF THE NEW INTRO...
It's price is not in the middle, because of the 4WD option. A must, if you live in Canada, I presume.
this Altima is what you get when ask someone to draw you a "car"... Yawn
There might have a "not good" reputation for being lift/uber or whatever but i really do like the look of this car
Nd its features are pretty good for the price so i'd definitely get one
me, i use the compass. for me its the best way to understand where i am and where i am going. im the guy who also like to look at my map/navi with north side up.
Same. I use my compass all the time when I'm in a parking lot or shopping center and android GPS just says "head North"
the seats is the only good thing about the Altima.
Like how Yuri understands its a commuter car.
