While I enjoyed my test drive of the Altima 2.5 -- two years ago mind you -- I'd have to disagree with CR on one issue: value. Sure, the upfront costs are competitive, but if you are buying and not leasing, then think twice about the Altima because of its CVT, which will cost you more to maintain than a regular automatic transmission. Sure, the CVT saves you at the pump, so you can pay it to the mechanic when it comes time to change the transmission fluid.
