 VST transmission takes some "getting used to" if you're accustomed to traditional automatics.  It doesn't "shift" when you think it should, but actually its doing it seamlessly.  Other than that (which isn't truly a detractor) this Altima is still the best dollar-for-dollar value in a mid-size sedan.  Built in the USA, the craftsmanship, quality, reliability and economy of this almost 40MPG sedan is excellent.  Got mine for just $17,600 - yes, to get this you still have to know how to negotiate sales with actual team members at the dealership, but it can be done.
