Pros: What do you like about 2006 Nissan Altima?
I had always had Toyotas all my life. I picked that Nissan at the dealer becasue it's design is sexy. It was an instant match. After I heard about mileage on it, I took it home. When I turn the key it sounds like a 3some. I love it. Very proud about my 2006 Altima 1.8 SE. Black inside and out. I think the vehicle make me look good. And the dealer let me drive off for 10,000.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Nissan Altima?
I would add a moon or sun roof. It took me a while to figure out the side mirrors control. Should have been dummy proof. The suspension could of been different. I mean smoother.

2006 Nissan Altima Review:
If we can improve the suspension, add a moon or sun roof, that vehicle will sell itself comparing to other Sentras. Just for that I give it a 4.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Nissan Altima?
Everything!!! A great car to own and drive. Great styling. Good gas mileage even in the city about mid-20's, and better on the highway high 20's to mid-30's. I have the 2.5 SL and it has plenty of pep for a 4 cylinder. The large fuel tank is a blessing, I can go for many miles before I even have to think of filling up. The interior comfort is great and plenty of room. Good traction in winter on ice or snow covered roads. I couldn't ask for much more other than if it would come with all wheel drive, then you would have close to perfection. Bose stereo & 6 CD changer is great sound system.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Nissan Altima?
The suspension is stiff and ride is rough over bumpy roads. You feel every small imperfection in the road. Even with this, I would highly recommend this car. It is a pleasure to drive. Would have liked All Wheel Drive!!!!!

2006 Nissan Altima Review:
Overall, based on my first years of ownership, this is probably the best car I have owned.
