After reading several of the reviews, I'm pretty surprised. I've had mine for 2 yrs. I have 60k miles on it & have put nothing into it but oil changes & a set of snow tires. I agree with the review about poor handling in winter, but have not had a single problem since buying 2 front snow tires. Before badmouthing the car, check your tread. I also love the CVT. It is designed to be smoother & it is.

As for engine noise, its a 4 cyl people, they're all louder. Also, I'm still on my first set of brakes all around with about 25% left. A lot of the complaints are differing preferences, not quality issues. Do research before you buy! Don't badmouth the quality bc you made a poor personal choice! Well here it goes.I don't complain much, but Ive had it with my 2009 Nissan Altima. The steering lock column has failed on me, leaving the vehicle dead in its tracks.

After researching the issue, Ive learned that it has been and continues to be a major issue on this make and model. I reside in Minnesota and this happened at night with the temperature of -5 and wind-chills at -30 leaving my wife and I stranded 30 miles from home and 45 miles from the nearest Nissan dealer.The $700 part fails to disengage from the steering column and therefore renders the car useless. After numerous conversations with Nissan consumer affairs I have yet to get an answer.

Apparently they extended the warranty for this part, but go figure.It happened to me after the warranty expired.In doing more research I have learned that unless a certified Nissan mechanic diagnosis the issue they(consumer affairs) cant or wont(not sure) do anything for me. Furthermore, the part is the size of a deck cards and riveted so I cant replace the part myself.

So, long story short.$700 part, $300 in labor, $150 towing bill for a part that is essentially useless. What has me upset is that Nissan knowingly has not placed a recall on the part even though there have been thousands of issues directly related to this issue.Not to mention its on the National Highway Safety Dept list of hazards. There will never be another Nissan in my garage.ever!UPDATE-Recall placed on part.

Finally.Reimbursed money from Nissan.Enough people complain things sometimes get handled. Very fun to drive around in, and my comfort level in this car is excellent!!!

I added on 20% window tint and all the girls turn their heads to look at me. What can I say this car just feels right for me. My last car didn't feel right at all. The engine is very quiet, and it is a undercover powerhouse best 4cly engine I have ever had, even comes with dual exhaust. I don't understand all these bad reviews because I absolutely love the car and have had zero problems since I bought it (not to mention it was a rental before I got it). I got it at 33,668 miles for 14,147$$.

I love this car if you are considering purchasing this car I would say this would be the most efficient car you can get. I have owned a new 2009 Nissan Altima for a little less than 5 months.

And I find the push-button ignition very unreliable. On three different occasions now, I just could not start the car. I took it into the dealer. I was told that they changed the codes.It doesn't happen often, but when it does, it is most aggravating. Tonight, I waited in the dark for the Auto Club after trying more than a half hour to start it. Finally, the push button ignition connected and I called the Auto Club to cancel service.

I know that you have to push on the brake pedal to get it started and I have done this repeatedly without success. Is there a sure-fire way to start this car? Please tell me.

Older cars with high miles can require some tender loving care and special consideration when it comes to maintenance. If you own a Nissan Maxima with 200,000 miles or more on the original engine, you may wonder what weight of oil is best to use. Expert opinions vary, but 20W-50 or 10W-30 are frequently mentioned. You may have heard that the wear on the engine means that you should transition to an oil with heavier viscosity, but other opinions hold firm that the lesser weight still lubes better. In reality, this will depend on how your old engine is performing.
