2008 Nissan Altima

The 2008 Nissan Altima line brings newcomers to the popular car that Nissan has been producing for years. The biggest introductions are that of a coupe and a hybrid option.

The hybrid should come as no surprise as Japanese automakers have all been trying to compete in the hybrid market for some time now, but a car that has traditionally been known as a sedan is now offered in a true coupe model, as well.

The coupe is available in the 4-cylinder or V6 model, just as the sedan is, and with a V6 in the coupe, you end up with something considerably sportier than you would traditionally associate with the Altima. These 2008 Nissan Altima variations are sure to only increase the profile and popularity of an already very well selling car.

Hybrids are selling more units every year and, with rising gas prices and environmental concerns, they will surely only continue to sell more in the future.

2007 Nissan Altima

The 2007 Nissan Altima is one of Nissan’s best selling cars, and that is primarily because of the value you get for your dollar.

More affordable than its closest competition produced by Toyota and Honda, the car still delivers reasonable power, good gas efficiency, and is reliable as well. That gives it a stiff edge over the competition, especially when you note that the car is exceptionally well styled for a sedan.

There is a lot to appeal to buyers about this car, and price isn’t the only thing. For those who need a bit more kick to their car, the 2007 Nissan Altima is available in a V6 model, as well.

The car has all of the perks one associates with this sort of car: a nice, roomy interior, and a smooth, quiet drive for highway commutes. Everything about this car says that the customer is getting a great value for his money.


2006 Nissan Altima

The 2006 Nissan Altima is another model in a long line of excellent cars that Nissan has produced under the name of Altima. This model has been the company’s bestseller for some time now, and for good reason.

The Altima is available in both 4-Cylinder and V6 engines, depending on whether the customer prefers efficiency or a little extra power. The car is available in several different transmission configurations, including a 5 speed manual transmission, a four speed automatic on the smaller engines, a five speed automatic on the V6, and a six speed manual transmission on the sporty SE-R.

The SE-R is definitely the most performance-geared 2006 Nissan Altima. Its V6 engine comes in at 260 hp with the standard six-speed transmission, giving a regular sedan a little bit of extra kick that some drivers crave.

The Altima continues to be rated one of the best buys in its class.


2005 Nissan Altima

The 2005 Nissan Altima features a very large redesign on a model Nissan has built its reputation on. In recent years, Nissan has become known as a quality automaker and that is due, in no small part, to the efficient and appealing Altima.

The new Altima comes in both 4-cylinder and V6 models, which is a big selling point to many who were unsatisfied with the lack of a V6 options in previous years. The car is also restyled greatly, including a new grille and taillights that give the car an updated and classier look.

That same feeling translates to the interior as well, where the 2005 Nissan Altima has been freshened up with some of the wooden and metallic highlights that are becoming popular in new automobiles.

Overall, the car has won a well-deserved update and surpasses expectations.
