  • In this video I give a full in depth tour of the 2012 Nissan Altima 3.5 SR. I take viewers on a close look through the interior and exterior of this car while showing details, over viewing of features, and noting unique styling cues to the vehicle itself. I also show the engine and the details of it, start it up and see how it sounds under acceleration. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.

    I tested my brother's 2007 Altima V6 with 80k miles and rides great. No rattles at all, very solid and the interior plastics are of great quality, dash and doors have soft touch plastics. I dont understand why people r complaining about interior quality.

    I drove a 2009 Altima with a CVT. It definitely takes some getting used to. Plus it was almost impossible to pass on the highway (especially in the LA area where I was at the time) because there's no downshift, thus no burst of torque. Nissan should've at least tweaked the revs a bit to make passing easier.

    I may have underestimated the pure essence of this car. What I didn't know about these Altimas is that they share components with Renault Laguna. Yes, even the newer Sentras share components wit the Renault Megane. We don't why some of the newer Nissans share components with Renaults, but we think that Nissan may be onto something. Since I love Renaults, I had to accept this fact. Americans thought that Renault no longer sold cars in the States, but what they didn't know is that the newer Altimas and Sentras share components with Renaults for some strange unknown reason. Not to mention, this car is a lot better than the Hyundai Sonata and the Kia Optima.

    Edgy and somewhat daring exterior styling coupled with a commodious and luxuriously appointed interior, which indicates to me that Nissan has heeded the persistent complains about the sub-par interior aesthetics of earlier Altimas. To me the most critical aspect of this heady development, that it's seriously encroaching into Maxima's territory. I mean as it stands today, there's precious little differentiates the higher trim level Altima from the Maxima itself.

I really can't compare it to my other vehicle I usually drive (2000 Suburban) because they're not in the same league, but the seats are a lot more comfortable and the engine blows away the chevy 8 cylinder.....Great engineering, great price, great car and great dealer experience.

    I think you should consider keeping the radio off when you're showing cars to customers (or, at the most, play it very briefly to show how it works). It's distracting and increases your risk of losing a sale without providing any benefit.

    Since 02 the Altimas been an amazing sedan. The 02 took sedans into a sporty-good looking-fun to drive car. Then the 07-12(the one were watching) the Altima took technology and looks again to a new level. Sure the 2012 doesn't look as nice as some sedans now but the 2013 will be coming out soon... and that'll take the mid-sized sedan category into a new level :)

    @Corkoth55, personally I don't know, who would want it in white, still you may want to inform yourself about this strange phenomenon about the popularity of white colour. While other colours, (particularly secondary and tertiary colours) come and go in favour, white, together with black emphatically stays in favour. On top of that, it's pretty universal too. since it cuts through all sort of automotive market-segments, from small to large and inexpensive to expensive vehicles.

    Can someone please explain to me the problem with a CVT? I've driven a Prius with one and it was very lax, but I also drive an 08 Altima Coupe 2.5 with CVT and it feels nice. I also drive a 1982 Mustang 5.0 with a 4-speed manual and the Nissan is pretty even in performance, which is impressive for having half the displacement. I say embrace technology like CVT's and small displacement, high power engines, although ultimately, I prefer a manual gearbox.
    that's just my experience with it...

    @Jakeman2164 the CVT isnt that bad tho, its good for the economy, the 7 speed gear box is for sport cars, like the 370Z and the G37. they really should offer it as an option, especially on the maxima since they call it 4 door sport car
