In 1993 Nissan introduced to the world the new Nissan Altima with its 150 horsepower, 2.4 liter engine, and the option of either the 5 speed manual or the 4 speed automatic transmission. Through the years there hasn’t been much significant changes to the new generations of Nissan Altimas except for the more cosmetic types of changes.

If you are looking for a reliable, low cost maintenance car that will last you many years to come, the Nissan Altima has the thriving reputation. Nissan has given their customers power in a small compact car that can be relied on and trusted.

The biggest downside to the Nissan Altima is the gas mileage. It averages 18-22 mpg in the city and 26-32 mpg on the highway.

This sedan inspired car has powered through four successful generations of change and improvement, perfect for the everyday drive.
