I have leased 3 Altimas. They are nice looking, practical, and comfortable.I have leased 14 different models from Nissan. They have been problem free.

[@johnshukeireh5804]

They were all brand new. You didn’t keep them long enough for problems to occur.

[@TheDiameter]

Leasing? Ew, it’s like paying rent but on a depreciating asset…

[@spack8505]

[@giofromtexas2679]

I can’t believe we live in a time where a Nissan Altima with a 4 cylinder is over $30k … this was not the case 15 years ago 😮 I remember a fully loaded Nissan Maxima costing $34k in 2007.

😅😂.... Do NOT buy a NISSAN, you will regret it. They have the crappiest CVT.

[@PKDesigns2011]

@@olguiq1013 honestly it's a hit or miss what you end up with regardless of brand or type ... My '19 Altima was fine, My 22 Altima was np, and my '23 Altima has about 22,000 miles and still no issues ... No exactly liking the CVT or the vehicle response but over all, I've been consistent with 39mpg on highway and 28 in city ... so zero complaints for todays standards cheap vehicle ...

you guys i highly doubt the altima is going to die, its one of nissans best sellers and is super common

[@sammysalazar7384]

I've had two altimas they were very reliable, never had problems with them, got one brand new in 06 and traded it in 2018 for another one.

[@i_am_gohan9232]

The car brand with the most failing CVTs has a “Camry crusher” 😂😂😂 thanks, I needed that joke today.

Love this channel Ben. That thing looks great! They drive smooth. I want one

Awesome video keep up with a great work and be safe out there 👍 😀

[@sgt.grinch3299]

The trunk can carry lots of chicken feed too. You forgot to mention that Ben.

[@ronch550]

That ancient key fob really needs to go. It's such a tiny piece of plastic, why is it so hard to replace? Nissan is cost-cutting way too much.

[@bonnolog]

Altima had the most comfortanle ride, and i like the interior design the most, plus has more room for negotiation. Fits all my needs really well. Bought an SV couple yrs ago and just bought the SL.

[@hankj.b]

good review but camry crusher? that’s overselling it a bit

[@darkhome]

Ben is a bit of a troll if you have not noticed. It's clickbait essentially. It gets people to click on the video and debate in his comment sections. You should not take it too seriously

[@_IIN01]

Those are the same window controls my old 2016 Sentra use to have. Nissan really milking their spare part drawers.

[@AladdinSaneNYC]

I read online that Nissan is considering eliminating both the Versa and Altima sooner rather than later. If this IS true I believe that the suits at Nissan are making a mistake, especially with the Altima! Another suggestion for Nissan: offer a two or three year free maintenance program. Many other vehicle brands are doing so. Why aren't you? About the Altima: a pity to take it out, so to speak. But 30k for an Altima? Really? Wow! My brother in law bought one many, many moons ago. He drove that thing into the ground and it served him well. His price then? I believe it was 16k new. Entry level. Wow! 🙏♐

[@danabrittanykanalani7027]

I wish it had heated seats but yes Nissan ain’t ever gave me issues

[@CABOOOS]

my dally 08 altima is close to 350k km, the engine and the trans still runs smoothly to this day, never had any issue popup only regular maintenance engine oil change every 10k and transmission oil every 60k.

[@CABOOOS]

original cvt transmission@@ronch550

[@dwaynemorris3079]

CABOOOS same here! I have 165k miles and it runs and drives great. Ive flushed the transmission twice and 1 transmission fluid and filter change. I change my oil every 7500 miles.I still have the original battery but not sure how much longer as it tests bad but still works fine.

[@devisgoated4049]

Needa do review on the top trim for the maxima

[@dextersmithbsee]

Nissan shot itself in the foot when they put that Jatco CVT in many of their models. A nice 7 speed ( which they had in their tool belt) or a new 8 speed would have been a better choice.

[@Spoolingturbski]

I wouldn’t say it’s a Camry crusher but it certainly offers more value than Camry. Now a Maxima, I’d say that’s a Camry Crusher.

[@Ghostlore]

They in different car classes so they can’t be compared

Like someone else mentioned, 34,000 for an Altima is pretty ridiculous. Definitely used to be the price point for Maximas only

[@CombatVeteranUSNAVY]

You want to test drive the AWD? How about this time you tell us how the car handles. All you car reviewers think only extremely high-performance car buyers are interested in how the car handles. Well, if I'm on the highway doing 65 miles per hour, and have to very suddenly changed lanes, it would be nice to know how the car may react. By the way, you didn't mention the steering feel, and the steering response as well. Most of us will not be driving a car for 1 mile around a dealer's lot.

[@JS-rn4bs]

Drove a 2024 SV trim as a rental. This is the most uninspiring vehicle I've ever driven. Feels ultra cheap, doesn't ride particularly comfortably and the materials feel like they were pulled right out from the budget bin. The CVT makes the engine loudly drone under load and the vehicle feels more sluggish than a 2011 Corolla we once owned. For a brand that advertises 'performance' and 'sportiness', this thing is an embarrassment.

[@henry2650]

aside from the cvt the fact this car doesnt have led rear lights and has those cheap piano black window surrounds really sucks. the chinese altima is lowkey nicer

[@Jackel1776]

Hey Ben, do you have a certain amount of time for your videos? It sounds like you rush to jam as much info in a minimum amount of time. You must be an auctioneer? Slow down bro!

The 2013-2015 Altima was better I have the 2013 Altima SV with the 3.5l v6 engine, they stopped producing those in 2018 it gives off 270hp which is pretty fast for a family sedan

[@danabrittanykanalani7027]

Nissan all the way

[@DahjerCanaan]

After a vehicle accident (other guys fault, not my nor my moms fault whom was the one driving my car, a Toyota Prius Hybrid), I got a 2023 Nissan Altima as a Rental, having the choice between the Altima and a Chevy Malibu. The Altima practically convinced me to look into buying an Altima one of these days, I really liked it. The only big complaint I really had was #1 I don't like the fact that there isn't a rear window windshield wiper & #2, I'm not too crazy about the steering wheel but it was easy enough to overlook. So the one thing I hope that Nissan does in the future is just simply put a rear window windshield wiper on it. I don't understand why there isn't one already, it's kinda stupid to not include one.

[@dwaynemorris3079]

how many 4 door sedans have a rear windshield wiper?

[@CombatVeteranUSNAVY]

Nissan actually forces anyone who want a very important accessory, AUTO BRAKE HOLD, to move up to this SLTrim, which can cost anywhere from $2,000 to $4,000 more than the SR. The SR Trim does not have Auto Brake Hold. I wanted to purchase the SR Altima, but without the Auto Brake Hold, I will wait for the 2024 Hyundai Sonata. Anyone who has ever been in bumper-to-bumper traffic knows just how important it is to have the Auto Brake Hold feature.

[@kennethcolon7282]

Camry crusher? Those are really big words I don't think so the Camry is a better car hands down the Altima is not that cute either compared to a Camry all the way from the base Camry to the TRD Camry I'm not saying Nissan is bad but Mazda is better and let's not even talk about Toyota please the Camry crusher....😂😂

[@jbirdx07]

The only way an Altima would crush a Camry is if you dropped one on top of it! Nissan has been cranking out shit cars and SUVs for the past 10-15 years and it's catching up to them. Hence the rebrand, hence all the stupid commercials. Dealerships in GA are practically giving them away and no one is buying them. Just cause they add some flash and fancy buttons doesn't make them a better brand.

[@bigrig9749]

Cars are junk don’t even compare this to a Camry
