Not mentioned in this review is that the Altima is a pig off the line.
If, for example, you are in the left lane at a light, and you realize that you need to make a right turn at the next light, then forget about trying to get ahead of the car to your right.
Once the Altima gets rolling (maybe 25 MPH), then it has good acceleration.
But from a standstill? Forget it.
Most of the time, this will not be a problem. In fact, it could be helpful for folks that are not good drivers, that might spin the wheels. Or, perhaps Nissan figured out that this would help with fuel economy?
There is no switch (like a sport mode) to circumvent this. Nissan detuned the Altima, preventing it from having any balls from a dead stop.
Lastly, the stereo is for people that are not interested in sound quality. The bass is not natural, and the speakers do not work in harmony. You can hear each speaker. With a well tuned stereo, you should hear only a wall of music, with voices and instruments coming from various locations (and those locations do not necessarily correspond to speaker location). With a well tuned stereo, the speakers become invisible. This is not the case with the Altima.
Cheers!
