2006 Nissan Altima Review:
Sticker on my 2006 Altima was over $30k and I paid $26,100 with $1000 dollar rebate. Never owned a Nissan or a car that had a power sunroof because of my size. I am 6'5" and weigh 285 lbs. I have more room in this vehicle than I have in my Ford Explorer. Tilt/telescopic is wonderful and center console is situated in such a way that I can spread my legs and drive. Legroom length is wonderful. The things I like are the power, this baby is fast. Faster than the Maxima which I also considered. Test drove a Toyota Avalon and the seat for a man my size was not adequate. I was glad I didn't fall in love with the Toyota because it was my first choice, however no deals from Toyota.

2006 Nissan Altima Review:
Great car - love the ride and the power. Distinctive styling and comfortable for 4 adults. Rear view mirror vibrates when the Bose Bass is putting out. Makes the view behind you blurry.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Nissan Altima?
Great styling outside, Great styling inside. Unreal response on brakes and the gas. Gets looks. Reliable. Great highway mileage (30 or so). Once you are used to it, every other vehicle feels like it handles sloppy.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Nissan Altima?
Interior could be a little quieter/tighter, especially on rough roads like brick. Purchasers should be warned that tires on it are "Summer Performance" only-- not all season. I would enjoy a "city mode" to down the power and up the MPG in the city-- averaging 22MPG. Was higher with 3.5SE.

2006 Nissan Altima Review:
The 05 SE-R is my third Nissan. Loved my 02 3.5SE Altima and 05 3.5SE Altima. Held value so well I could trade in 1-1.5 years and make cash on the deal. Handling, acceleration and braking are phenomenal. Styling outside is great, HID headlights and Bose standard are great additions to the 3.5SE. BIG rotors & brakes, nice forged wheels. Great interior space. Versatile lay down back seats. I consider American, Toyota, Honda and VW every time but I get the most bang for my buck with the Nissan Altimas. Nissan dealers have always been no hassle no haggle with me.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Nissan Altima?
Looks, driving it, comfort of seats and space to controls, trunk space and fold down seats, easy maintenance, many inside storage compartments

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Nissan Altima?
power seats on all models, better placement of gas door lever-foot catches sometimes, side air bags standard with some pack on 2.5 for safety (mainly because when you buy you can't always wait for special order cars), more color selections, side headlights again as on Maxima

2006 Nissan Altima Review:
This is my 2nd, 2003 traded, love the drive, smooth, handless effortlessly, inside comfortable, roomy, plenty leg room in back, easy read instruments, large trunk with fold down seats, excellent sound w/o paying more, looks like expensive sports car if good color chosen, tires nice looking, paint job excellent, easy to use dials for a/c, sound, cruise, fast speed pickup if needed smoothly, breaks well, just love the car

2006 Nissan Altima Review:
The Nissan Altima is a reliable vehicle and is envied by many who see it. This vehicle is a great investment for road trips or for toting around a lot of people. I always feel a little stylish in my Altima.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Nissan Altima?
V6 performance, manual shift auto, styling, gas mileage

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Nissan Altima?
Upgrade interior materials.

2006 Nissan Altima Review:
A performance sedan that delivers as advertised! The 3.5L 250HP V6 responds instantly. Combined with the 5-spd auto in the manual mode, the Altima is just flat out fun-to-drive. Interior materials are not on par with Toyota or Honda and some visual obstruction due to the door pillars. The optional navigation package with Bose, and XM radio makes this proven reliable sporty sedan a standout among its competitors. Avg 24 mpg in combined city/hwy driving.

2006 Nissan Altima Review:
I look forward to going to work every morning, knowing how fun my Nissan is to drive. Very quick and handles great, even on the snow!!! I average 25 mpg, city and highway. I can live with that! I am normally a general motors fan..but I could not resist the 2006 Nissan Altimas looks and comfort.
