Nissan Altima 2013 First Test Drive with Emme Hall by RoadflyTV

[@incarswetrust]

How can you not LOVE Emme Hall? She has become more and more polished and utterly entertaining to watch as a reviewer. Love the "YES" thing at the end. lol

[@danielgallo2161]

I just wanted to let you know Emme that I literally watch all of your videos even if the car has no relevance to me because you're so entertaining to watch! Keep it up..we want new videos!

[@PassionOfTheMan]

Great preview. I like the tech aids you highlighted. Shows that somebody's thinking about the day-to-day livability of the thing.

[@DisneyMusicVideos]

I drive a 2007 2.5 S Altima & love it. Nissan did a great job styling this new one. It looks better than the current one IMO. I may buy this model sometime in the future, but the 3.5. I've only owned 4-cylinders & I really want a V-6 for my next car.

[@Proteeps]

This is indeed the best seats in it's class. Try them out so you can feel it too. It has a soundproofing cover on it's hood that's why it has minimize the noise of the engine. Very nice car indeed.

[@drivingsports]

And we manage - yet again - to grab the exact same car to review at a car launch (even with roughly 20 different configurations to choose from we both went for the red V6.) You must have excellent taste.

[@TimN-5]

Great mpg, speed, price, interior, and you support the US economy when you buy one. awesome

[@iamwhotheycalldave]

I so want this car. I like the design so much more than the previous altimas

[@enemay]

I like it, I like it and Emme you got all the details down on this car! you hit all the important points. Great Job!

[@bobgsearch]

you are a delight to listen to, and your opinions are acceptable...humor...excellent...I think I know your leanings toward manual driven, rear drive cards...but you are open to alternatives...thanks. please continue....

[@TecnamTwin]

I tested it not too long ago, and it was nice. Very nice.The CVT was very smooth, except for the small torque dead spots on full acceleration. However, the 2013 Honda Accord is a close match. Test them both to see which one you like better.

[@thecarexpert21]

Yea. Let me clarify. I don't hate CVT's that much. Just 4 cyl CVT's. That undesirable drone at higher speeds, is what I hate about 4 cyl CVT's. But I have been in V-6 hybrids paired to a CVT (Lexus 450h) and I honestly don't mind it! Very smooth, quiet, powerful.

[@FejjNagaf]

Yes, it does. They all do. It's how a CVT works. Despite what you think you know, you are mistaken. If you floor this CVT, the engine revs to almost redline, then holds the engine at those revs until you get off the gas. All CVT's do this.

[@SSMWRX11]

YEESSSS!!!! THUMBS UP! That ending was awesome!!

[@IRWAutomotive]

This new Altima looks like a winner. Any word on a redesigned Altima Coupe??

[@Gmoneyluv4u]

The new- nissan altima took some design ques from the new M infinity on the front side quater panels and the front facia nice work Nissan!!

[@Parth29252]

Feels like Nissan has really gave some thoughts to altima. Beside its conservative styling, I think altima is a great package.

[@chickenfarm09]

I love it. Great video and information on this new Altima.

[@RodrigoMJ32]

yeah same here, wife just got a 208 Altima, now we want this one..

[@Pedal2TheMetal]

and I like how everyone only comments about the CVT but not the rest of the car. I really think Nissan did a great job, the current Altima is the second best selling car in America anyway, so that goes to show most people dont care about CVT. I think it's cool how Nissan used Nasa technology for the seats!

[@MasteringLOA]

I think this car is going to sell big numbers right out of the gate. The machine is hooked

[@importcarenthusiast]

As much as I hate CVTs, I actually really like using the manual mode in the current generation Altima. Its got that direct feeling tht a DSG has.

[@RodrigoMJ32]

It will come out later on, they usually show the sedan first...

[@tony23zz]

For a mid-sized sedan, the altima looks as sporty as it comes. And nissans fleet consist of a couple cars that can match with some of the fastest cars in the world. they got a GTR that goes 0-60 in under 3, and a 332 hp 370z that is argubly the most affordable true sports car there is. Nissan is innovation.

[@AlohaBiatch]

holy crap this is amazing. Most other cars accelarate in about 9 seconds from 0-60 and this has much better gas mileage than any other damn family sedan! the interior also looks very nice. I might buy this car next year and compare it with the mazda 6 which will probably have excellent driving feel and MPG as well.

[@revadavis]

I'm looking forward to the redesigned Altima coupe. Any word on when that might come out?

[@thecarexpert21]

Yea. I don't hate CVT that much. I really think it depends on the engine. In my opinion I just hate that loud "drone" noise coming from the engine in a 4 cyl CVT. But 6 cyl CVT is a different story. My aunt and uncle both have 6 cyl hybrids, paired to a CVT. Those I have to admit, I don't mind. It's very smooth, and pulls very well.

[@crumbus]

@Emme ; What do you think will become of the Maxima? The Altima has some what become what the Maxima once was.

[@King_Kenny66]

Great job Emme!

[@devster117]

bro a CVT is just a series of belts the expand and or contract im pretty sure, which allows a continuous gear in the correct torque range. look up nissan altima 0-100 or something and you'll notice the car doesnt shift! having paddle shifts etc or a manumatic is just a synthetic gear set with a CVT because in reality its just one continously expanding gear

[@1guyin10]

It is mostly just the ones that haven't ever driven one. They will have to get used to it though, because the choice for car companies to meet the upcoming CAFE requirements is going to be either CVT or 8 or 9 speed autos and those autos are expensive to develop.

[@yelp1000]

If you complain about a cvt and have never driven a nissan cvt then your complaint is invalid. I thought they sucked until I drove a altima rental for a few weeks and it changed my mind about the cvt. I would take it any day of the week over a conventional auto. Maybe other cvts suck but the one in the altima works really well.

[@karuven]

from the moment she sat down and said they are "the MOST COMFORTABLE SEATS EVER," I knew I was watching a commercial

[@GBraidi78]

I believe it's Lynchburg,TN that being said, it's pretty nice car to bad you didn't talk about the power train. It looks like the Maxima kind of!! When is car coming out and do you know what the coupe will look like?

[@ryan944]

Emme, great video! What did you think of the cloth interior? Some reviewers have said the material is quite ugly... thoughts?

[@ProgressingStepxStep]

The 2014 Infiniti G isn't going to share anything with the Altima. It shares it's platform with the upcoming 2014 Mercedes Benz C class. They will even share a 4 cylinder diesel engine. Where in world did you get your information from?

[@1guyin10]

Granted the early CVTs were somewhat noisy and the programming often left a lot to be desired. Nissan seems to do a much better job than the others at making the CVTs acceptable and their owners don't seem to mind trading off a little rubber band feel for more mpg. Most people will only notice it the first time they drive it anyway. I wonder what people will say when the new Hondas show up with CVTs?

[@morpheusmann]

Good review Emmie

[@JsnLwrnce]

i wonder if they have plans for an all new Altima coupe?

[@mlps93]

Altima best selling mid size sedan in Canada+ Japanese reliability + fuel efficient

[@trumpet12345]

predefined ratios with the CVT, though many feel it defeats the purpose... but mainly helpful for "gearing down".

[@WesSeid]

I bet Emme wants to see Emme test drive the 2013 Nissan GTR too.

[@TMS5100]

go emme! such a great presenter!

[@Kevbox2008]

I've heard -- although I don't know how accurate because it was on the Internet -- Nissan is using the 2013 Altima as a "platform" for the 2014 Infiniti G Sedan. I think it looks a little too "Lexus-ish" for my taste but I'm sure Nissan knows what it's doing.

[@socalpimp1974]

Nissan is a shell of its glorious past

[@Kevbox2008]

Is the 3.5L V6 the same engine in the old Infiniti G35 and the current EX35 or is it a different engine? I know they've been using it in the Maxima since the G35 upgraded to the G37.

[@MrTheMiguelox]

It has pre-set points on the transmission cone.

[@Jaimeherediaa]

are the seats on this car more comfortable than the ones on the buick verano?

[@isukaman]

38 mpg highway with out electric assist. That IS impressive.

[@12gloom]

which trim did is that? some trim doesn't have the options you described in the video.

[@motormusique]

Nissan definitely did their homework with the new Altima.

[@tootsiejoon]

My pre order altima just like this one. Red 3.5 SL with all the bells and wistles and gadgets.

[@Brims131]

I just bought a used 2010 nissan altima and man do i love it, but damn i wish i waited for this... zero gravity seats!?

[@IKhanNot]

Needs a 6 speed auto. No doubt the CVT helps with fuel economy but it feels like a transmission that has slipping issues under operation.

[@tony23zz]

CVT's are smooth at pretty much any speeds. the i4 is smooth, unless your going 110, which most people don't do in these kind of cars. i have a 2.5sl and at 80, it's extremely smooth and quiet.

[@clubheadxtasy2]

i saw that backup camera at la'shaundas weave shop the other day

[@76carmel]

That "Yes" thing at the end -- that's Lynchburg, TN. Home of Old No. 7 -- aka Jack Daniels. Emme had fun at the distellery. From what I hear on the tours, unfortunately you can't have a shot at some Jack. And that county where Ol' No. 7 made is a dry county from what I hear. How coincidental!

[@ArtStamos]

They made them long enough, it comes with longer warranty just to keep you comfortable about the idea, just remember regular transmissions fail too.

[@rafa.gastro]

Emme I´m looking for an Altima 2013, tell me more about? is a good choice? the other car I like is the new Accord 2013

[@huydp]

Very nice car! Probably better than my current 2005 Altima :D

[@TomMacGarrett]

i love the mechanics, all the bragging rights you put out are valid, but you didn't talk about how high the door is, no leaning out the window with the elbow, you feel like you are sitting "down" in a car, you , yes, even Emme Hall had that strain over the steering wheel look while driving. looking forward to your long overview of it.

[@nature10879]

A stupid question but what is a CVT? How does this transmission wk? whats the difference compared to normal 8,6,5 or 7speed transmissions?

[@BrantFortunate]

I want to see Emme test drive the 2013 Nissan GTR. :)

[@czech27]

great idea with the air pressure horn honking thing

[@lil1filipino]

How come nowdays cars need to get soft touch dashboard? Do people really touch them frequently? no right? and the one in elantra which is soft touch traps dirt easily. Right Emme Hall?

[@SureFeelsGood]

where is the full review?

[@LancerXDS]

love nissan, am a Z owner myself but not their sedan. now if nissan ever make a worry sedan with AWD. that would be great

[@0HOON0]

Great Review! Have to disagree with you though. The longer travel on Nissan paddle shifters is much preferable to the "click".

[@chikmaginet95]

Im loving this car!

[@ibrahemhamed4334]

ya you are right its a great car. nissan is one of the best cars in the world today. you geat the value for what you are paying.

[@Tekhsheen]

Same engine for both brands. The main difference is that the 3.7L is available for Infinity only

[@Bmants]

The only reason you dont see CVT's in F1 is because they were banned, I think Williams had one. I think that was a great shame because it would have speeded* up the development time. Of all the cars I have seen in this class, this car is the most impressive. I saw the new Fusion on the road last week, and it was a looker.

[@NesperandJeffreyShow]

I really want this Altima!!!!

[@XenomorphLV426]

0-60 7.1 and 38 mpg? Pretty impressive.

[@Barobran92]

I don't understand why the Versa is sooo hideoderous when clearly by looking at this Altima they can make a really good looking sedan!

[@ernesthead05]

great review.

[@juschill7]

Good job Emme.

[@nature10879]

I know is a dump question but whats CVT? I know is transmission but how does it wk? whats the difference compared to regular 8/6 speeds?

[@saprissa9]

Hey guys I have a dumb question. What are the chances of Nissan bringing the Silvia back? And what are the chances of that Silvia coming to America??? I love cars, but the thing is that I don't know each and every car detail or details like that. I'm still learning.

[@Gilverrri]

i just bought this car today and let me tell she wasnt lying those seats feel so fuckin badass like the pillsbury doughboy was hugging you no joke they are awesome :D

[@jsingh1112]

when is it releasing?

[@edmaluf]

what is the guy's daily driver? I couldn't understand a word he said.

[@yopranay]

HOLY CRAP I WAS AT JACK DANIELS IN MAY TOO! I live an hour from their

[@crumbus]

Hey Emme! YES!!

[@mb013962]

exactly, my moms 02 lancer has a 2 liter engine and gets to 60 in about 9ish seconds and only gets 27mpg hwy

[@MRiTRICKSH0T]

i saw this car in someones driveway is it out yet?

[@Kevbox2008]

Paddle shifters?? How do you shift a transmission with no gears??

[@AKB_48]

Nice car Nice improvements !

[@Antares_451]

No New Maxima :( with rear wheel or all wheel drive; Nissan?

[@JesBlazed1]

So they changed the name Maxima to Altima ?

[@45barber1]

even though they are exact opposites i cant decide between this and a 2012 charger! help?!

[@ironchopsticks]

@TCB1468 there's only one Infiniti hybrid

[@ssupra96]

In TN. its called a recession. Everyday is a Sunday downtown.

[@Swellstew]

7.1 for the 2.5 or the 3.5?

[@Kav3h]

The 4 has soem great MPG for a big car, but the V6 has the same MPG as my Jetta with a 4 in it. Think I found a good everyday car.

[@tootsiejoon]

The feel of the car is completely different and the difference in price of the 4 and 6 cyl in SL models is only 2G's, So for 2 grand more why not have V6. I don't drive that much so the gas milage is not a big concern.

[@MrMasterball1]

the accord needs a refresh and plus this is sexy and sleek the accord looks like a wagon with the top of the trunk cut of

[@Pedal2TheMetal]

THANK YOU so fucking much! finally someone with some common sense! I am a car enthusiast and out of all transmissions I much prefer a stick and a clutch, but honestly this is a family sedan, 99% of the people who buy this car are getting it to take their kids to school, go to work, etc. They DONT care if its a cvt or a 8 speed auto as long as it's smooth and good on gas! Cvts are honestly not that bad.

[@TheBestDaniels]

And how manny baskets can I fit in the trunk??

[@ThePinoyMamba]

Love it.
