Test drove the new Altima!
What can I say, it's bad a$$! I am sorry to say that I'll be trading my civic in for the Altima. I've had my fun with my civic, but it's time to get a new car.

Rep Power: 0 Good Luck to you. I owned a Nissan Sentra and have had nothing but problems with it. It was probably just a fluke, but I'm gonna be on the Honda/Acura bandwagon for quite some time. I haven't heard the good things about Nissan like I have Hondas. Plus I've had a bad expeirience the a 3 year old Nissan with 80,000 miles.. bad oil leak and 3rd gear in the auto tranny went out. NEVER AGAIN.

Rep Power: 0 The 3.5 Se has 240 hp w/ 246lb tq. It weights one lb more than the Maxima, has something like 15 hp less but it's faster than the Maxi (by I think 1/10 sec 0-60)!!! It's a bad@ss car. I remember hearing somewhere that the Maxima's biggest competitor is going to be the Altima. Nissan makes some great cars as do Toyota and Honda but my dad's 96 Maxi needs 1200 worth of work done to the engine(something with the valves I think) and it only has 80something k miles on it so that sorta makes me wonder. Good luck with it and hopefully you got the 5speed. Auto has that triptronic or whatever it's called auto manual thing that's also very cool.

Rep Power: 0 Hey Hefe, looks good...just a suggestion...needs to be lowered(as does mine) and some tint would look really good- can't tell if you have the tint yet or not. But yeah, looks very nice.

Can't say I blame you....I'm little worried about scrapping if I do 2 in. We'll see.

Rep Power: 0 Sat in 3.5 SE at a car show and was really surprised at how cheap the interior was. There were cheap, thin, hollow plastic pieces all over the place: around the stereo, center console, cup holders. And that pop-up storage bin/armrest was a joke. Why would they ruin such a nice car with such a crappy interior (on the highest trim level too) ? If you can stand that, then it's a decent car.
