2012 Nissan Altima 3.5 SR Start Up, Exhaust, and In Depth Tour

[@InfamousPR]

I love this car. Has been around since 2007 and still is one of the best looking midsize cars on the road.

[@HoyaC]

It’s kinda like a car to drive in the winter snow like the exterior and is like a wedding anniversary cake with blond seats inside

[@JakeRoot]

For an Altima, the start sound at 1:27 is awesome. Perfect noise.

[@joshuawoods4577]

Yess I love it

[@StuinthaHouse]

It's nice to see that this car has separate radio and climate controls. No touch screen to be distracting. Yet it still looks modern.

[@rasheedwatson1006]

I have this car in blue, love it

[@clarencefreeman7965]

so did my sister before she traded it in for a Malibu😢

[@wheelfan100]

SRT8 Nation your sister did the right choice

[@jboss4020]

Rasheed Watson me to

[@jboss4020]

Clarence Freeman omg I don't know what to say

[@Wh9499]

They have awesome stereos

[@InfamousPR]

I tested my brother's 2007 Altima V6 with 80k miles and rides great. No rattles at all, very solid and the interior plastics are of great quality, dash and doors have soft touch plastics. I dont understand why people r complaining about interior quality.

[@hammoudy1300]

am watching this video because i just missed my dad's '11 altima.... which was totaled 3 months ago. we'll never forget you alt !!

[@jcnme27]

Wow, I just rented a 2011 2.5 for two weeks. It wasn't to bad but I wish it was a 3.5. Didn't have enough power for my lead foot. Keep up the good work!!

[@LifeBehindE]

Favorite trim of the Altima

[@mish2664]

10 years later this is the black air force of cars

[@ps1hagrid84]

Always on demon time

[@Merance]

why do ppl say that😭

[@DisneyMusicVideos]

Nice car. I have a 2007 Altima 2.5 S that I just bought a few months ago & I love it. It's the best car I've owned by far.

[@Theonestrongbusleader]

My first used sedan!! Awesome video bro.

[@InfamousPR]

I like all of your car reviews, keep up the good work.

[@lightofdeath37]

dude just wanted to say thanks to your videos you helped me buy my car nissan altima 05 THANK YOU

[@FoodNVent]

I used to own a 2011 Nissan Altima 3.5 it had so much horsepower. The transmission was so smooth, etc. I miss that car.

[@DaddyIvo]

Nice exhaust note! Thanks for the showcase kyle!

[@littlemissga]

I got a really good feeling that this willbe my xmas gift

[@hammoudy1300]

dad traded off his '11 accord for this altima today :) i like it, really good vehicle

[@KidJaeProductions]

I have a 2010 Nissan Altima 2.5S (sunroof, backup camera, spoiler). I love that car. I want a 2012 3.5SR

[@nood1le]

The hell mine is a 2012 and it doesn't even have Bluetooth

[@KidJaeProductions]

@@nood1le that’s one thing mine didn’t have either

[@yapboy09]

you rock Kyle! keep uploading!

[@ilikecookies010101]

I drove a 2009 Altima with a CVT. It definitely takes some getting used to. Plus it was almost impossible to pass on the highway (especially in the LA area where I was at the time) because there's no downshift, thus no burst of torque. Nissan should've at least tweaked the revs a bit to make passing easier.

[@LiquidCanine]

This was a surprisingly great review, very helpful indeed.

[@hitssquad]

I think you should consider keeping the radio off when you're showing cars to customers (or, at the most, play it very briefly to show how it works). It's distracting and increases your risk of losing a sale without providing any benefit. . But on the whole, I think you're doing a good job. Thanks for the videos.

[@0000WINDOWS]

i had this car for one year and still looks fresh for me and i totally love it ...

[@syd_luna]

Bought an '09 Altima 2.5 S earlier this year. I love it!!

[@1wayDrell]

barkeep2009 u still got it?

[@JR-rz8qs]

So if you can just press the button on the doorknob to unlock the door, what's to keep a burglar from getting inside?

[@crownr0yalonice]

@grod75 most of the time, that last speaker is a woofer, or in some cases cars have two woofers.

[@bizzare10]

i like how he has a structure to his reviews. Almost like a robot

[@joeyyseee4257]

I have this same exact car same year and model 3.5 SR it’s a great car for its year and 270 hp is decent

[@efilms5123]

I got ome offered to me for 6k any tips to check if the car is good condition?

[@wotan20]

Edgy and somewhat daring exterior styling coupled with a commodious and luxuriously appointed interior, which indicates to me that Nissan has heeded the persistent complains about the sub-par interior aesthetics of earlier Altimas. To me the most critical aspect of this heady development, that it's seriously encroaching into Maxima's territory. I mean as it stands today, there's precious little differentiates the higher trim level Altima from the Maxima itself.

[@pgpg1]

@grod75 I get what your saying, but im not sure. I haven't had the chance to check it out. I think the center speaker works the same as the other 2 speakers in the front.

[@tdotran]

Can't wait to pick mine up tomorrow! :)

[@ladyyuna2000]

a beautiful looking Nissan Altima 3.5 SR and Iove the color. ^_^

[@monkeyxpwner]

i like nissan. they seem to give you a lot for your money. i also love the way the cars look. great video!

[@cornbread70s4]

The best looking Altimas ever

[@RomanM803]

02-06 best looking

[@hakeemsd70m]

The 2002 model was the best Altima in my opinion.

[@Roushfan5]

Love my 2002 Altima with the awesome 3.5

[@robertmartin1269]

Im finna get an 08 3.5 in a couple of weeks! Im only looking at models between 2007-2009 because i like the front end better before they refreshed it in 2010!

[@dave11686]

Not a bad looking car! Great vid as always Kyle!

[@pgpg1]

@grod75 the altima has 3 small speakers by the front windshield, 2 on front doors, 2 on rear doors, and 2 by the rear windshield.

[@spceshipboys6637]

2021 and i still want this car

[@DisneyMusicVideos]

I like the styling better than the current Altima. Used to have a 2007 2.5 S for four years & was a very nice well rounded car & was easily the best looking in the class for it's day.

[@nood1le]

I would totally recommend one. I have a 2012 2.5s . Its been in the family for 12 years and now I drive it daily. Very economical car with impressive performance. Car design still holds up as well. Plus, if youre a guy who likes to jam out in their cars, the stereo is very good.

[@ayhamelamari]

dude u make the best vids

[@ImmenseGTi]

@Joseph9536 Yes they are. Automakers use 4300k which is white but has a slight amount of yellow. It looks more white at night.

[@jmichael1holmes]

u think so? i didnt like that one that much.. what do u like better about it?

[@banstaman]

@datpimpinboy Correct, but when something goes wrong, you would most likely have to replace the entire unit, as opposed to individual components in a conventional automatic, is that correct? That would be costly.

[@kwk59]

Cool I just bought the same car in black, though I have only put 500 miles on it , so far it's great. Love all the features! I really can't compare it to my other vehicle I usually drive (2000 Suburban) because they're not in the same league, but the seats are a lot more comfortable and the engine blows away the chevy 8 cylinder.....Great engineering, great price, great car and great dealer experience. I maybe back for another.....

[@shadowking13X]

oh god do i agree that is a very gorgeous car!!!!!!!! can't wait till i can get my own in a few months

[@InfamousPR]

Love the blonde interior. Black interior looks cool also, though I prefer light colors inside.

[@Mejevoli]

Saabkyle's channel is one of those channles that i thumb up before watching :))

[@ladyyuna2000]

That 2012 Nissan Altima 3.5 SR is gorgeous.

[@Gusiscool91]

@CamaroGuy10 CVT transmission are voted one of the best transmission ever made if you didn't know i had a 2006 nissan murano with CVT and there was always smooth constant power and no shift shock so i don't understand why people are complaining about this transmission ?

[@CharlieStyr]

It's kinda worrying that the car that imitated this in GTA:IV, a game from 3+ years ago (accounting for when they designed the cars to go in the game) looks better than this does now... redesign most definitely! Thanks for the tour though Kyle, excellent and interesting as always :)

[@sethfranklin8079]

Cvt issues aside.. this is a rather attractive car and the interior is to my opinion beautiful damn you nissan for the horrendous jatco cvts...

[@dillon851727]

the only way to go with any altima sedan is the rear decklid spoiler option, a nice touch to the vehicle

[@grod75]

What's with the odd number of speakers in some cars? For example, this one has 9, and the Nissan Quest that Kyle just reviewed has 13... Is there a "center" speaker somewhere in the car?

[@hamdanae12]

great vidoes, just a suggestion, i wish if you also point out at what type of suspention a car has, spicialy the rear tires.

[@igeekone]

@igeekone You can see the color difference between the fogs and headlights. They are true HID.

[@WrenchesOnJunk]

Those doors sound really really solid!!

[@mukkah]

They feel it too

[@mustafanajeeb7859]

Perfect review & great Nissan.

[@hayksamvelyan]

I like the refreshed body and interior, looks very nice.

[@cerrystyle]

Very nice, sporty and confortable car at the same time. But i'd get a Coupè. I love this dashboard it's a bit different from others. and the back camera integrated in the radio display isn't that a new thing??

[@204pippen]

when you push the button on the door does it unlock all the doors or just that one? great vid as always :-)

[@juliabrooks6250]

I love the startup

[@joshuawoods4577]

Yesss me too that Nissan beep really adds a touch to it too

[@Nikola002052421]

Hey Kyle, please do a review on the gtr... That would be amazing! I'd like to have a closer look at the computers and interface

[@6824096]

How about doing a review of a 2011 Toyota Camry se V6 and a GMC Acadia denali.

[@aj123ppc67]

How do you dislike this? It's a beautiful car...

[@LOGINKPW]

You and me both, at least! The dashboard and/or center console don't really leave much legroom while sitting up front. In fact, living in Colorado, I have seen only two or three of these newer Altimas in the last year.

[@boeing797screamliner]

So... is it true that the Altima has a noisy interior? 'Cause I've had a few experiences with some rentals that are base models and doesn't have any of the options, and they had the loudest interiors I have ever experienced. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

[@rig48]

one of the best V6 motors in its class!

[@castironbandito]

I may have underestimated the pure essence of this car. What I didn't know about these Altimas is that they share components with Renault Laguna. Yes, even the newer Sentras share components wit the Renault Megane. We don't why some of the newer Nissans share components with Renaults, but we think that Nissan may be onto something. Since I love Renaults, I had to accept this fact. Americans thought that Renault no longer sold cars in the States, but what they didn't know is that the newer Altimas and Sentras share components with Renaults for some strange unknown reason. Not to mention, this car is a lot better than the Hyundai Sonata and the Kia Optima.

[@froylandiaz4846]

Scott Lantz because Renault owns Nissan..

[@CarringtonHollister]

Nissans here in the USA are just Americanized Renaults.

[@WxStar101]

We rented an Altima just like this in July. I am 19, and have a driver's license, but the rental agency at Hertz said they wouldn't let my dad add me to the additional driver's list. When we got into the car, my dad kept asking how do you start this thing...later we found out it was like this. But I thought you had to plug the keyless entry somewhere under the cruise control button. We are considering getting a car this year (a Toyota) and heard they have this feature too, but wonder how to use.

[@TXlonghorns13579]

I recently damaged my driver side mirror (2011 Nissan Altima) where the casing popped off. I bought some gorilla glue to secure it back on but before doing that I wanted to see if any of you had other recommendations on getting it more secured.

[@MASTERP661]

Sweet ride, great video considering hes a one man operation

[@moakbik94]

do u have to put ur foot ont the brake...in order to start the car or what ?

[@jeepguy95]

I always liked the Altimas, and plus Nissan does all those tests to make sure it'll last. I'd buy one of these.

[@tony23zz]

Since 02 the Altimas been an amazing sedan. The 02 took sedans into a sporty-good looking-fun to drive car. Then the 07-12(the one were watching) the Altima took technology and looks again to a new level. Sure the 2012 doesn't look as nice as some sedans now but the 2013 will be coming out soon... and that'll take the mid-sized sedan category into a new level :)

[@PanthersForce]

This is the perfect car for me, Hoping to get it soon in black, totally gonna save some gas with it.

[@Stevenhiggles]

@GTXIR no its the same as the SE. they just changed the badge.

[@bobbawon]

Can someone please explain to me the problem with a CVT? I've driven a Prius with one and it was very lax, but I also drive an 08 Altima Coupe 2.5 with CVT and it feels nice. I also drive a 1982 Mustang 5.0 with a 4-speed manual and the Nissan is pretty even in performance, which is impressive for having half the displacement. I say embrace technology like CVT's and small displacement, high power engines, although ultimately, I prefer a manual gearbox. that's just my experience with it...

[@grod75]

@pgpg1 Tnx man... And do you know if the third speaker in the front works in the same way as the center speaker in home theater systems? I'm not too much into luxury cars, hence my curiosity... =)

[@HeyWajid]

Really hope you do the new model of this car! Its amazing!

[@Final_Fantasy_7]

Hey great video...I'm interested in the 2012 3.5 SR but what are the differences in the premium and sport packages ?

[@ravan3606]

this is going to me my next cAR

Can you make a review of the 2014 or 2015 Nissan Altima 3.5 SL?

[@honeylush242]

Can the camera screen play videos

[@IKhanNot]

Despite having the CVT transmission these cars are a great value for the money.

[@SammyMaggio]

Kind of interesting to see HID Halogen headlights because I thought only the 2004-2010 Toyota Sienna Limited had that feature.

[@MrWoodyissoawesome]

@Betterhalf333 but u need the key on your body to unlock it

[@datboidroc]

@xcluenic i have HID Xenon lights on my Maxima and these are blue Halogen lights, unless they make HID Halogen lights

[@superdominic1234]

[@Erich2142]

@Jakeman2164 the CVT isnt that bad tho, its good for the economy, the 7 speed gear box is for sport cars, like the 370Z and the G37. they really should offer it as an option, especially on the maxima since they call it 4 door sport car
