My wife and I purchased the Nissan Altima Coupe with the 3.5 litre V-6 when it first became available in 2007 (2008 model). It is an extremely powerful and great handling automobile, capable of blowing away the competition. Our coupe has all the bells and whistles and has performed flawlessly. Gas mpg is over 30 hwy on premium fuel. Great sound from Bose stereo system, too! The CVT is awesome.
Handles like a high performance sports car. I have driven many police pursuit vehicles in 22 years of law enforcement, and must say I was blown away by the performance of this 270 HP car. And, it seems to get better everytime I drive it. If you like to drive with a smile on your face this is the car to own.

The Nissan Altima is the perfect Senior Citizen's car! My Husband and I love to take drives in the afternoon. It is rather large on the inside and isn't to powerful. I feel like I am in a Cadillac. I don't care for the look of the outside, the wanna be sporty isn't for me.

Overall I've been driving a Nissan Altima for a year. It's my moms and being a teenager I've done pretty much everything on it. So far no problems except brakes went bad at 35K mi. and Temp Gauge went crazy. Other than that, no other problems. For a V4, gas is horrible. Other than that it's about an 8 on a 1-10 scale.

Over all the 2002 Nissan Altima,in my opinion, is way better than any Camry or Accord. Even though it doesn't quite meet the abilities of it's brother Maxima it was a clever invention made by some of the best car makers in the world. It will leave the Camry and Accord kissing its clear tailights(or atleast eating the dust)!!
