2022 Nissan Altima AWD: Regular Car Reviews

This week on Regular Car Reviews, we drive one of the worst cars ever featured on RCR, the 2022 Nissan Altima! What is Big Altima Energy? Why are Nissan Altima drivers the worst? What is it about the Nissan Altima that makes it such a legendarily bad car? Join us for a test drive and an all-time critique, as Regular Car Reviews takes on the 2022 Nissan Altima.

[@CordovaMage]

My Altima accident experience was a couple years back when a woman in one rear ended me, she hit me hard enough she was not able to flee in the car. She had to opt for the flee on foot route. She successfully dodged a truck only a few steps later to run directly into the path of a guy on a bicycle. This new accident she caused ended up breaking her leg and one of his arms. And I kid you not when the first officer arrived his first words to her were " YOU AGAIN?! "

Worst car accident I've ever seen was a white Altima zipping across the 405 from the carpool lane to make an exit, pit maneuvered themselves on a Prius, spun across all the lanes and slammed into the median.

The girl that got out of the altima said "Oh its fine" and then walked into the store. Luckily she hit the hitch receiver and that crunching was from her car which had so much scrapes and body damage to begin with.

When she saw how confused I was, she just said “I don’t know how to get it out of there” Owning a Versa is a similar experience but worse. At 12k a pop, my dad kept buying them for the family. It feels like driving in a small Rubbermaid tub. My first one got totaled (not my fault), and my second one, like the harbinger of bad luck cheap Nissans are, had a tree fall on it four days after I got it. I determined I do not have Big Altima Energy, and as such, gave mine to my sibling in lieu of a 1989 Volvo 240, a sweet bastion of safety and predictability. Miraculously, both my sibling and mom’s Versas haven’t had the CVTs fall out of them yet. Knock on wood.

I want to tell you about this spray painted Altima. It was spray painted matte black and it had a MASSIVE spoiler on it. It also had a baby on board sticker. This Altima also had a massive off road bumper on the front. I'm pretty sure I also had 3 alloy wheels and one steel wheel. It had a 2 foot long metal rod poorly mig welded as a shift knob. It had a guage cluster from a different car just poorly shoved on the dashboard. It had a big metal knob attached to the steering wheel. It had a 5 point racing seatbelt that was only attached to the headrest. All the dashboard controls were removed and were sitting on the passenger seat with extended wires attached to them. It had a propane tank for a BBQ grill sitting in the back seat with a hose connecting it to the engine for "more power". All the electronics on the center console were just ripped out and were laying on the back seat next to the propane tank.

That moment when you park way back of the parking lot to avoid other cars, and then you see a clapped out Altima with one spare wheel, dents in every corner, “baby on board” sticker, and garbage piled from the empty baby seat to the ceiling park next to you. You feel like you need a shot of penicillin just looking at it.

I now understand why my neighbor, who owned an Altima until it got rear-ended, let the insurance company total it and send him a check instead of fixing it at a body shop even though the only thing that was wrong with the car was one tail light was knocked out of alignment and the trunk wouldn't close.

[@christophers.4007]

this review brought back memories of older RCR reviews. it had me rolling over in laughter. keep it up!

[@michaelramsey82]

I had a 2023 Altima as a rental recently. It was... adequate. The brakes were touchy. The plastics were flimsy. The infotainment was absolutely useless. When I stepped on the gas, the engine and CVT whined and moaned like a grumpy teenager who would rather go to Tosche Station to pick up some power converters. The "sport mode" button did nothing but make it sit at slightly higher RPMs. The thing I liked most about it was the physical knob controls for the climate control. I will say that it got quite good mileage (35 mpg average in mixed city and highway). It was absolutely fine as a rental car, but I cannot imagine the mindset of a human who would actually buy one.

[@edenharkness142]

I bought a 2012 Altima because it literally was the only car Canada Drives would sell me with my credit rating. It was a former rental car which means it had rental car tires. Have you ever ridden a skateboard 🛹 from 1970 with clay wheels? The CVT started to act up in a year, but that was ok because it was repossessed...Then I went to detox and rehab and got my life together. True story.

[@dforrest4503]

Congrats on your recovery, both in life and from the Altima.

[@stephen3164]

Btw - buy here, pay here type places that finance used car buyers with poor credit love cheap POS that they will sell for $3k down, and $80/week payments. Then within a year the car gets repo’d, and they sell it again for $3k down, and $80/week. Some of those cars go through 16 owners in 5 years! And transmission problems be damned - dealership will do the cheapest repair possible to get it back in rotation. Glad you were able to better yourself and your situation.
