 The Altima is a great car.  Very reliable with minimal maintenance.  Very quiet inside and no noise engine.  The CVT is great...gives the vehicle excellent acceleration and no noise.  Very stylish and extremely safe. Our entire family (including baby and young child) were in a severe car accident that totaled the car, and we all walked away without injury.  The outside of the car was crushed on three corners yet the inside was in perfect condition.  Great car for the family as it's roomy enough for baby seat, booster seat, and another child in the back.
