2020 Nissan Altima 2.0 Platinum FWD VC-Turbo - POV Driving Impressions

[@ksaboda]

The seats in these cars are really comfortable. It’s a good all around sedan.

[@schoopinprofit]

I got an altima as a rental on vacation and fell in love with it. The seats were so comfortable and I had plenty of room (6’4) had no clue sedans were like that. Pretty quick car too

[@kdiggitydog7696]

Also got to experience this via a rental car and was surprised how much better it was than I was expecting. The ergonomics in this are outstanding with the exception of the overly high accelerator position. I chucked it through my favorite corner and it loved it! Handled it great. Not sure the 19s do the ride any favors but this is a good overall effort from Nissan.

[@kdiggitydog7696]

@March 11 2023 you know how sometimes you want to cruise with little to no pedal pressure? Just maintaining speed and distance to the next car? To do that in the Altima I experienced, I really had to pull my toes back very far which gets tiring on the muscle that runs the front of your shin.

This man is selling the car but like I agree it sounds so bumpy. I remember being in a rogue and it was the worst. I think Nissan cars don’t handle bumps well.

[@NissanAltimaGuy]

Josh J. my 16 is smooth & 19 Sv I drove was even smoother Mercedes like (my husband brings new ones home often as he works there) so idk why it sounds so harsh. I’d have to test one with the 19 inch wheels but 17 inch wheels were smooth. I’ve even driven a 19’ Sentra and it was pretty smooth for as compact car.

[@Jussstusssreid]

@Jonathan Losito no I have 2008 altima that runs very well at 110k miles with little to no problems. Smooth and fun to drive. People never take care of their vehicles and then be wondering why they be breaking down

Probably a good choice. I had a 2010 Altima I got rid of almost 2 months ago and loved the features of it and miss it but the CVT was so boring and failed 2x so don’t miss that

[@khoaphan8490]

Andrew K I don’t doubt that. Nissan still has a long way to go but it’s good that they’re starting to put more effort into their lineup. I’m hoping Infiniti will get the same treatment as well.

[@zero2sixty244]

Khoa Phan I was going to replace the Altima with a 2013 G37x coupe but it’s crash test ratings were poor and it’s features were the same as my Altima SL and I had the touch screen and the Infiniti didn’t even have it, just the buttons to operate it which I hate so I looked at 2019 Acura TLX SH-AWD and 2017 Lexus IS 350 AWD but settled on a 2018 Malibu Redline which sucks cause it’s slow and not going to be reliable but has all the features I was looking for and then some, under warranty etc and I’ll get an extended warranty on it but I do miss my Altima’s features like locking rear seats and huge glove compartment, valet key and mode etc but whatever lol

[@A_guan]

Had one as a rental for a month. One positive was the seats those were amazing. Interior is decent however the feather light steering just didn't feel right at all. This cvt felt rather natural as well

[@Wasabi9111]

I’m driving one of these rental right now on my family vacation and it’s much better than I expected. I haven’t driven a fwd mid size sedan in years and it’s crZy how versatile they are. The Altima is surprisingly roomy with plenty of rear legroom and trunk space. I actually liked the cvt for going up and down the mountains where I don’t have to deal w the clunky geared transmission. The infotainment UI is not great, but at least it has CarPlay.

Yet they still keep using it. They do not listen to the consumer market and that is why they are mostly considered a fleet company now.

I love the Altima id still rather have a turbo 3.5 v6 400hp platinum then we could do some talking lol i have a black 09 sl that still runs great looks great and has 94k on it

[@bg1379]

I drove a base 2020 Altima as a rental a few months ago. There's just no comparing this to LX Accords or Sport Mazda6s--it didn't track well on the highway, the CVT sucked, the equipment was worse than my old 2005 Maxima SL which is surely in a landfill by now (save for Bluetooth, that's about it). Driving an Accord LX or Camry LE feels modern with better transmissions, better road manners, LED lighting, and all of the modern safety tech that 2020 rental didn't have. Surely it's a different comparison at the higher trim, but also worth noting that competition blows this out of the water at the lower end, even if this sells for a few grand less.

[@bg1379]

@Jonathan A For sure. The Atlima CVT feels inferior to the Accord CVT. As we know, not all CVTs are created equal

One of those cars that does everything pretty well, but struggles to stand out against stiff competition. Looks quite good and I appreciate the simple ergonomics, but I don’t there’s quite enough here to tempt me away from an Accord or a Mazda6.

6:18....you almost had altima drving right until you signaled and didn't cut over 3 lanes immediately after merging.

[@barryentrekin222]

I have one of these. The only issue I have is that there is a 2 second delay for acceleration upon stomping the accelerator pedal. Just my car (I have no idea)? Service advisor at dealership thought it was just the model, and not my car specifically. Blamed it on turbo lag and the new VC engine. However, it still does this even if the compression and boost are both shown high (on the screen that shows that info). Really noticeable though from a dead stop. Can get you into trouble if trying to cross traffic.

[@Deadlybroom]

Right now in my area you could get a new 2020 Altima SV for $22,030 and that is incredibly enticing to me literally $6,000 off sticker, then when the trans breaks, you’ve still saved about $2,000 lol

[@justinturner653]

So, why didn't you try out sport mode at all?? That wouldve tuned up the cvt's shift points to act like a real transmission even more, as well as actually get you in to boost w/ some higher revs...

Rwd transmissions not made for a fwd car

[@zero2sixty244]

Seth Little correct but they can make a transverse fwd and make more on sales, warranty, etc

[@sethlittle7338]

Andrew K they still moved 250,000 altimas last year making them third in midsize sales obviously people are buying them and like the smoothness of the cvt every carmaker is losing reliability if we’re being honest, car making is a dying industry so everyone is trying to cut cost and run for the electrification finish line, I know that people have issues with their cvts but it’s not like all 250,000 2019 altimas sold are gonna need a new transmission at less than 100k miles cause that’s just not gonna happen everyone has flaws but the car making game isn’t about reliability it’s about consumers wants and needs which is high tech, smooth rides, comfortable, and quiet which the Altima and basically every other car in the segment checks all the boxes so reliability isn’t anybody’s concern anymore it’s all about the money so people will buy what interests them and most of them are younger drivers because nissans are so easy to drive and aren’t super expensive and older/middle aged people who want a comfortable(zero gravity seats) ride and smoothness but I can see how it’s not appealing to 20-30 year olds who want something fast or wanna keep it for 15 years and drive it hard cause then it just won’t last which is just cvts in general you can’t be hard on them

[@trashrabbit69]

You do not want a Fusion over this. Utterly anemic trashbins.

[@trashrabbit69]

@Jonathan A In raw power I suppose, but the chassis is complete ass. It reminded me of my old Cutlass Ciera with how numb and confusingly bouncy it was, much less composed compared to even the Charger. I think the only redeeming factor for a Fusion is how cheap it is and AWD on some models. Otherwise, the Altima or Mazda6 is the best you can get right now. The Korean twins just came out so they'll definitely bring some very competitive standards to the table but its so recent there aren't really any good avenues for deals right now.

[@trashrabbit69]

@Jonathan A I liked it when it first arrived in 2013, I did think it was gonna be a good form for Ford with their global cars. However they just never touched except for minor updates for 7 years and it withered on the vine. It just became unjustifiable with Optima's and Accord's becoming better and better. It was progress for Ford but very little for the market as a whole. But... there is at least the Bronco now lol.
