My girl wants to get a new Altima. Any one have any input on these cars? How are they? Or is there a better car to get in teh same price range?

 

not...

{10char}

 

why not????

 

no idea.. cant go wrong for the price.. as LONG AS U GET THE 3.5L... 5spd..

 

er, Maxima! I heard the altimas might have more problems, not much, just more than a maxima, anyone?

 

I told her to get the 2.5SL. She doesn't need a lot of power.

 

Neighbour bougth a brand new 2.5 2 months ago. it's nice but that engine sounded mighty baaaaaaad when she reversed out the driveway yesterday.. interesting..

other than that, it's a great car.

 

get her a max. nissans flag shis sedan !

 

It's not really the just the altima's engine. I've driven a bunch of 4 cylinder manual transmission cars, and for some reason they all sound like go-karts when they are going in reverse. It's downright laughable really.

 

Any reason for a maxima over a altima?

 

becuase we are a maxima forum and not not an altima forum.....plus we like maximas.


seriously....its up to you.....your choice...

p.s.(whisper) get the maxima (whisper)

 

I have a maxima. But i don't think a 19 year old girl really needs to get a maxima. It's a little too expensive for her.

 

If thats the case then get her a hundai.....



I'm being serious too. Both my girlfriend 19 yrs old (drives elantra), and sister 18yrs old(drives sonata) barely bought one. They are very good cars in my opinion. Good power (for a 4cyl, and v6). They are great on gas mileage, and plus I think they dont look all that bad. ....I suggest you test drive some and compare to what you are looking for....take in mind that i do drive a maxima(A freaking HUNDAI has my approval).
my .02 cents

 

I took a good long look and a test drive of an '04 Hyundai Tiburon 6-speed. It was a fully loaded top of the line model that I think they wanted somewhere just a little north of $20k for. It's a great looker, and it's decently fast, but the fit, finish, suspension, materials, sound-deadening, visibility, and just about everything else is so sub-par I don't know how anyone buys those things. This was supposed to be Hyundai's top of the line. I'm very happy with my $18k used Maxima instead, even if it's got a few miles on it, and I'm sure you'd be happy with an Altima (I test drove an 03 model a while back, great car but it had a very bad interior - but I hear that's been fixed for 05)

 

i think the hyundai's top of the line is the xg350, the tiburon i guess is their sports car. i drove a hyundai elantra for my rental for a couple weeks it wasn't that bad but it wasnt good either, it was just meh..

if you need a cheap car why not a civic? and why not used?

 

Spec-V?

 

Maxima has always been a better quality car.

Period

Dont you love yours? Get her a 4-5 gen with low low miles with all the options and Im sure she will love it.

Proph

 

Wouldn't you get better responses on altimas.net?
