2007 Nissan Altima

Pros: Interior Quality, Technology Features, Fun to Drive and Styling.
Cons: The standard radio looks great, sounds...average. If it's in your budget get the BOSE!

Is the Altima the perfect car and a clear choice in its class? NO. I chose to buy the Altima but the toss up for me (and likely you) is between the Camry and the Accord as well.

If you're younger and like technology then the speedy Altima will serve that up the best out of the three.

If you're looking for the legendary reliability, something with slightly lower insurance rates and conservative but fresh looks, then the Camry seems to win out.

If you're looking for a deal, the current Accord is in its last model year and dealers will be more flexible. (My other car is a Honda, HIGHLY IMPRESSED with the value they provide.)

Needless to say they are all good bets, but for me the Altima offered a very smart combination of styling, fuel economy, price(selling at invoice in NJ fairly easily), high end features and a promotional 0.7% APR (in June '07). All and all the chips stacked up in its favor, and I love my Altima.

Pros: Fuel Economy, Attractive, comfortable
Cons: Push Button Start

Even though we have hearing aids, we have to remember to actually look at the dash gages to make sure the car is turned off.

Unlike a key ignition ... you can ... have the key fob in your hand and the vehicle still running.

This is a theft waiting to happen. We're going to have to get out of the lease in order to get a standard key ignition vehicle. We're going to end up loosing a few thousand dollars at least.

Pros: Engine Power, Inside Headroom and Legroom, Cargo Room, Radio, Build Quality, Just too much.
Cons: The MPG is slightly below what they claim it to be.

This car is absolutely amazing! I leased the 2007 Altima 2.5S, and I have had the car for several weeks now. I still have yet to find something I hate about the car. The pickup on the car is outstanding for a 4-cylinder. It almost makes me think im driving a 6-cyliner engine. The quality of the car has really impressed me as well. I test drove alot of cars in the same class (Pontiac G6, Volks. Jetta, Hyundai Sonata) and it blew them all away. The inside of the car is great for taller drivers. I am 6 foot, 3 inches, and have several inches of headroom and a ton of leg room. The radio is wonderful, especially the Auxillery Jack for an ipod. Trunk space is exceptional. I must transport all my stuff to and from school/home, and this car makes it a breeze.
