Used Nissan Altima for Sale in Albany, NY

The car is extremely comfortable and efficient. Great gas mileage. It is very sporty look. It hugs the road, and you feel the curves. It is great to drive and very responsive. It has a great sound system and Bluetooth, as well. Worst part about the car is that it sometimes overheats on long rides in the summer, and you have to give it 15 or 20 minutes to cool off at a rest stop, especially if you accelerate and go fast. The car isn't really that fast but very comfortable and stylish.

Story

I went through the drive through at McDonalds and the person in the drive through told me they liked my car.

Pros

Comfortable, heated seats, and Bluetooth.

Cons

Overheats during the summer and not very fast.

2008 Nissan Altima - Best Car I Have Ever Owned

The Altima is a wonderful car that I had been eyeing since its introduction to the Nissan line. My first car was a 1973 Datsun 240Z which was one of my favorite cars, although it had many shortcomings. The Altima has no shortcomings as far as fit and finish. I bought the car new from the dealer and aside from standard wear replacement of brakes, tires, a serpentine belt, and FOB batteries, the only mechanical issue I've had with the car was a heat shield rattle which was corrected by simply adjusting the heat shield. All other functions of the car have worked well throughout my ownership. The only annoyance I can report (and it's more of periodic inconvenience) is that the clock runs fast about one minute per month. I have a friend who owns the same model year as I and she reported...

Story

I left my car at my mother's to take her car to a relative's house one winter day. We were gone for about 8 hours. It was dark when we returned and I noticed my headlamps were on. I opened the (locked) car door and a blob of heat radiated outward. I had forgotten to turn off the car! I think I only used about a 1/4 tank.

Pros

The car is adequately powered and the CVT performs well. It has a reasonable sound system and a nice array of mileage, speed, and efficiency data available on the dashboard. A feature I like is the outside temperature available on the dash. The air-conditioning has worked well and not needed repair or recharging in the eight years I have owned the car. The steering wheel controls to change the radio station and volume are of great convenience and safety. The cruise controls on the steering wheel are also a great feature. The keyless entry and ignition are a huge convenience for me as I... (more)

Cons

The cloth on the interior doors and center console are subject to a great deal of dirt and wear. The leg room in the rear is limited. I don't care for the emergency brake and wish it were a pull handle in the center console (even though that reduces room) instead of a pedal.
