Pros: What do you like about 2005 Nissan Altima?
EVERY THING AS IT IS LIGHT WEIGHT CAR. A REAL HOT ROD. LOOK AT THOSE ALUMINUM SWING ARMS SUPPORTING THE WHEELS. NOT DINOSAUR STUFF LIKE THE HEAVY AMERICAN CARS.

Cons: How would you improve 2005 Nissan Altima?
NOTHING. IT'S GREAT JUST LIKE IT IS.

2005 Nissan Altima Review:
LOOK AT HOW MUCH TORQUE THE MOTOR HAS COMPARED TO HONDA & TOYOTA. VERY QUICK OFF THE LINE. LOVE THIS LITTLE JEWEL AS IT PERFECT FOR ME, A RETIRED MECHANIC.

Pros: What do you like about 2005 Nissan Altima?
Our 2.5 SL has good looks and is fun to drive with great performance and handling (after early on replacement of original equipment Continental tires). It has plenty of power with the 4 cylinder and gets good gas mileage 24/29. We also really love the Bose sound system.

Cons: How would you improve 2005 Nissan Altima?
The center arm rest should be moved a few inches farther forward to have a better support for arm. I do think the paint tends to chip rather easily. I've already mentioned the tire problem.

2005 Nissan Altima Review:
We purchased this car new and overall it has been a very nice automobile that is a delight to drive. My wife mainly drives it, but I do as much as I can whenever it's at home which is not much as she is always going somewhere.

Pros: What do you like about 2005 Nissan Altima?
Everything, it's very quiet and easy to drive.

Cons: How would you improve 2005 Nissan Altima?
The air vents need to be more adjustable. I think they are too deep in the well and even adjusting the vents does not direct the air where you want it.

2005 Nissan Altima Review:
I really love this car and do not plan on ever getting rid of it.
