2007 Nissan Altima 2.5 S 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl CVT)
Review
Don't buy Altima with CVT if it does not have ABS. The issue occurs at speeds over 45 mph. If you slam breaks so they lockup until car comes to complete stop transmission locks up and throttle is stuck for up to a minute at a time. Nissan refused to correct this issue saying that this is intentional to protect transmission. It happened to me at intersection and I was able to duplicate this every time at will. I have traded my car and bought a new one.

Car is fun to drive, Fuel economy is great over 27 mpg. Styling is great

2007 Nissan Altima 2.5 S 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl CVT)
Review
The brakes in my 2007 Altima are horrible. I began hearing squeaking noises after 1500 miles. I went to the dealership 7 times with no resolution. Rotators and brake pads were replaced several times with still no resolution. It's awful that the EXPERT could not repair the braking system. I went thru arbitration and won, but they wanted me to pay them 1,600.00 to walk away from the car-are they crazy?? I could trade the car in with 0 out of pocket fees. I will never recommend Nissan to anyone. To have purchased a brand new car and then experience probs with the brakes so early on is ridiculous. Customer service was also rude and not helpful. Good riddance. Don't buy Nissan.
Favorite Features
Push button start
Suggested Improvements
No speaking brake system, better arm rest, flexible side mirrors, quiter 4cy1 engine-- it's very loud.

2007 Nissan Altima 3.5 SE 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl CVT)
Review
I have the altima 3.5 sl loaded. I really like my altima but it has had a lot of problems. I am in arbitration right now for Nissan to buy it back because they want to switch out engine because they can't figure out what is wrong with it. It was stuttering and not running smooth. After 30+ days in shop, they recommended total engine replacement. Starting at 18k miles, I had headlight, sun visor go out. I had to have belt and tension pulley replaced, master cylinder replaced; emergency brake light was coming on. Brake wear out fast
Favorite Features
style, local dealer in poway is great to deal with, convenient controls, fun to drive, quick pick up and good handling
Suggested Improvements
mechanical problems-corporate Nissan is TERRIBLE to deal with. brakes wear out fast, better gas mileage (only getting 18-23) requires 89 leaded or better gas.

2007 Nissan Altima 2.5 S 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl CVT)
Review
Purchased this car used with 31,000 miles on it. Have had it for 3 months now and am really happy with the car. Great styling inside and out. Rides very smooth and no wind noise. I stand 6 foot and I am very comfortable in this car, my knees are not pressed into the dash. The only complaint I have is the stereo, the sound quality is awful. I assume it's the base stereo option. I'm thinking about upgrading the whole stereo system because of the sound quality.
Favorite Features
Looks, ride quality, build quality.
Suggested Improvements
Stereo system of the base model sounds awful.

2007 Nissan Altima 3.5 SL 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl CVT)
Review
I purchased my 2007 3.5 V6 CVT SL with 40K & I love it. This car was loaded w/lther, Bose, turn signals on the ext mirrors, b/u camera, Nav, XM Sat, 6 disc chngr, sunroof, bluetooth phone etc. I chose this over an 06 Acura TL. Yes, its true. I went shopping to replace my much loved 03 TL Type-S. I just could not rationalize spending 2K more & get less. This car has 270hp & rides smooooth. Its black on black. The Bose is fantastic. If you can buy an Altima that is loaded, you won't find a better value, how do they sell Maxima's next to this...? By the way I would not have bought the 4 cyl version, only 170 hp.
Favorite Features
Engine, Bose, Interior Design, Touch Screen Navigation, Heated, dual zone climate & B/U Camera(kids love it)
Suggested Improvements
Swap the 16 inch wheels with a sportier tire as standard for the 3.5 V6

Review
I bought this car brand new in 2007. I can't tell you how excited I was to get it. I had so much fun driving it and I got an endless amount of compliments about it. I don't think you get as many miles per gallon as they say you do, but it's still great on gas. The key never has to leave your pocket because there are buttons on the door, trunk, and a push start button to start the car. I got hit head on last weekend and my car is totaled. I can't tell you how miserable I am thinking about how much more I could have enjoyed my car. Just remember, for the 20 some thousand you are paying, don't expect the world, but expect so much more than you would from any other can in its class.
Favorite Features
Keyless entry and push start The amount of power for a V4 The size - it's just right The AC and heat are excellent Safety: the seatbelt saved my life (i didn't even touch the airbag)
Suggested Improvements
I paid 23K for this car. I still can't believe I got everything I did. If you test drive an Altima, you'll see that most people who complain are ones that wanted more out of the car than what they paid for.

2007 Nissan Altima 3.5 SE 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl CVT)
Review
After 2 months of searching and test driving, I ended up with an Altima SE. I drove; Camry, TL, G35x & Accord and by far the Altima was my favorite. It's sporty and has everything I wanted in a car. Please know it does drive somewhat like a sports car, so if you want a smooth ride go for the Accord or Camry. This car is the whole package, from the redesigned exterior to the dash and interior, I just really like the way it looks for a 4dr sedan.
Favorite Features
Bose sound system, leather, alloy wheels, spoiler...the overall size of the car, (the Maxima's have gotten too big).
Suggested Improvements
Nothing just yet.

Review
I have had Acuras for 12 years and decided to go with the new Nissan as a change and in response to high fuel prices. Tried the Honda, Nissan, Toyota and choose the Altima because of overall package for price. Aside from the recalls which I had expected given the first model year of new model, I have had a number of issues that should not have happened and have lead me to believe it is not worth the price. To top it off, I do not believe Nissan places as high a value on dealer customer service. I would not recommend Nissan cars or their services and I am trying to get my money in order to unload this car that is just not good enough.
Favorite Features
Looks, expected fuel economy, interior features and use of new technologies.
Suggested Improvements
Build quality, customer service from Nissan and their dealers after the sale. So poor and especially when it came to letting me know if an air bag sensor issue meant the air bags were going to work or not. Could never get a straight answer.

Review
My car has less than 30000 miles and the transmission already has to be replaced. My rotors had to be turned already and don't get a remote starter to the tune of 549.00 for this really bad car. I'm trading this thing in next week. What's it gonna be like at 40000 miles?? If I get one more recall I will scream!!
Favorite Features
push button starter
Suggested Improvements
Overall a cheaply made car. Quality of workmanship and parts has alot to be desired. Doesn't compare to my 99 Pathfnder. I can't believe it's the same company. Move over chrysler!

Review
Great car for the money. I bought it brand new and it is now 2 years old. Nissan did a wonderful job of picking nice features to include and leaving others out to provide a wannabe luxury car at an economy car price. This is a very comfortable car, and performs wonderfully on the highway. I have added a K&N filter and that has given me a few extra MPG. The mileage is not as good as advertised on the sticker, but is still exceptional. I get about 32ish on the highway and 26 in town. The car handled very well in the snow. The only maintenance I have done is change the oil and clean the air filter in these first 26000 miles and I have had no problems at all. Just a great car. Highly recomended
Favorite Features
Sleek look. HEATED SEATS!!!!! (great for Rochester winters) CVT is great on gas mileage and provides a smooth ride. Plenty of pep for a 4 cylinder. Nice leather interior. Folding rear seats really help when hauling bulky items. Cupholders that WORK and are easy to clean. Excellent storage all over.
Suggested Improvements
Traction control. Folding side mirrors. Trunk hinges interfere with storage space - struts maybe in the future??? No power passenger seat. No seat memory. Make the oil filter easier to access. You have to take the front right wheel and a shield off to get to it unless you have a lift. All minor stuf
