Detailed review: |
The Altima 3.5SL is probably the finest car I’ve had at any price. The smooth and powerful drive train is perfectly matched with an excellent transmission. The chassis provides excellent handling and braking dynamics with sharp steering responses making the Altima very nimble and fun to drive. The ride is smooth, comfortable and quiet without being floaty. Inside, the cabin is roomy, comfortable and well appointed with many luxury touches. It's unusual instrumentation is illuminated in an attractive orange and the dashboard design is pleasingly different. Furnishings are constructed of soft high quality materials and are well assembled. The well placed controls operate with a feeling of quality and precision. The Bose sound system is absolutely amazing and includes a 6 CD changer. The Altima glides along with the smoothness and comportment of a luxury car. Everything is tightly constructed - there are no rattles or strange noises and the body feels as tight as a tank. Its advanced drive-by-wire throttle control system operates without hesitation, as it should. The 3.5 liter VQ motor is a wonderfully powerful engine turning this good-looking family sedan into an absolute rocket ship. Torque and power is always underfoot, and the free-revving and responsive powertrain make the Altima an absolute blast to drive! This may be an ageing design now, but it is still a very attractive and solidly built vehicle with an excellent powerplant, all for a very reasonable price. |
