What Owners are Saying About the 2026 Nissan Altima

"Awesome Car"

"The Nissan Altima SR is a great car for the price. It comes with several options. If you want a sporty yet practical vehicle this is the car. It has a sleek sporty look but has four doors and plenty of room in the back seat, and a nice size trunk. It comes with so many safety options yo where if you hit something you really messed up. The seats are very comfortable, nice sound system, and plenty of storage spaces in the cab. It has great pick up and go, and handles very well. I think I'm going to keep this car for awhile. Highly recommend."

"Love this car."

"2nd altima, and is awesome in Michigan winters. Great gas mileage, nice styling, feels faster than it is with the cvt."

"100% Satisfied"

"I bought a 2022 Nissan Altima brand new two years ago. I am a full-time Lyft driver and today I have 195,000 miles on my Nissan Altima! My car has never been in a mechanic shop! They won’t even service my transmission because they can’t figure out why I don’t have problems with it🤣. So Nissan in Rockwall said just keep driving it easy. And we think you gonna be OK.🤣 best car I ever had! And I’m going to buy another one as soon as this one gives out🤣. However, it still runs like a brand new car.🤾🏾‍♂️ so I’m gonna keep making me some money!"
