Kudos to the Altima for displacing the champ. I am actually tempted to go test drive one, now.]]>Jan 8th 2008 2:38PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/08/i-consumer-reports-i-names-nissan-altima-top-mid-size-sedan/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/08/i-consumer-reports-i-names-nissan-altima-top-mid-size-sedan/
I frankly don't think the V6 Altima feels significantly sportier to drive than the V6 Accord or Camry, but it does cost less, has simpler controls, and gets better mileage courtesy of the CVT. Still, it's no thrill ride aside from the excess thrust common to most V6 sedans these days.]]>Jan 8th 2008 3:01PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/08/i-consumer-reports-i-names-nissan-altima-top-mid-size-sedan/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/08/i-consumer-reports-i-names-nissan-altima-top-mid-size-sedan/Jan 8th 2008 3:16PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/08/i-consumer-reports-i-names-nissan-altima-top-mid-size-sedan/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/08/i-consumer-reports-i-names-nissan-altima-top-mid-size-sedan/
I mean, take poor care of either and you're looking at a huge bill, but as the victim of a malfunctioning transmission, I'll take the easier-to-service design any day of the week.]]>Jan 8th 2008 5:23PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/08/i-consumer-reports-i-names-nissan-altima-top-mid-size-sedan/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/08/i-consumer-reports-i-names-nissan-altima-top-mid-size-sedan/Jan 8th 2008 6:36PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/08/i-consumer-reports-i-names-nissan-altima-top-mid-size-sedan/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/08/i-consumer-reports-i-names-nissan-altima-top-mid-size-sedan/
The only category in which they give a meaningful cost advantage to the Accord is insurance.

you need to go drive both back to bakc and you'll see. I've driven both and the Camry and mazda 6, and while the Mazda does feel a bit more sporty the 2.5L in the altima has a better power band and wins me over.]]>Jan 8th 2008 2:53PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/08/i-consumer-reports-i-names-nissan-altima-top-mid-size-sedan/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/08/i-consumer-reports-i-names-nissan-altima-top-mid-size-sedan/Jan 15th 2008 1:23AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/08/i-consumer-reports-i-names-nissan-altima-top-mid-size-sedan/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/08/i-consumer-reports-i-names-nissan-altima-top-mid-size-sedan/Jan 8th 2008 2:43PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/08/i-consumer-reports-i-names-nissan-altima-top-mid-size-sedan/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/08/i-consumer-reports-i-names-nissan-altima-top-mid-size-sedan/Jan 8th 2008 2:55PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/08/i-consumer-reports-i-names-nissan-altima-top-mid-size-sedan/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/08/i-consumer-reports-i-names-nissan-altima-top-mid-size-sedan/Jan 8th 2008 2:44PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/08/i-consumer-reports-i-names-nissan-altima-top-mid-size-sedan/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/08/i-consumer-reports-i-names-nissan-altima-top-mid-size-sedan/Jan 8th 2008 6:37PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/08/i-consumer-reports-i-names-nissan-altima-top-mid-size-sedan/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/08/i-consumer-reports-i-names-nissan-altima-top-mid-size-sedan/Jan 9th 2008 11:44AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/08/i-consumer-reports-i-names-nissan-altima-top-mid-size-sedan/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/08/i-consumer-reports-i-names-nissan-altima-top-mid-size-sedan/Jan 8th 2008 2:45PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/08/i-consumer-reports-i-names-nissan-altima-top-mid-size-sedan/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/08/i-consumer-reports-i-names-nissan-altima-top-mid-size-sedan/Jan 8th 2008 2:46PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/08/i-consumer-reports-i-names-nissan-altima-top-mid-size-sedan/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/08/i-consumer-reports-i-names-nissan-altima-top-mid-size-sedan/
Where were the Fusion, Aura, and Malibu in this comparison?]]>Jan 8th 2008 2:47PM
