Nissan Altima Design
The 2012 Nissan Altima falls in the middle of the class in most areas. Its base engine is adequate for daily driving and it offers a comfortable, soft ride. If you prefer a more dynamic daily driver, reviewers suggest shopping the competition.
One big downside that is mentioned many times among automotive reviewers is the Altima’s expensive interior features. Very few features are standard on the base sedan model, which means buyers have to add option packages to get things like a stereo or Bluetooth. Reviewers point out that adding these packages can get pricey fast and that some features are bundled into a package with other features that some shoppers may not want.

With newer, more stylish cars in the class, the Altima is starting to look dated. Some test drivers still think it has an aggressive look, while others say it looks a bit boring. The Altima’s interior is where it shines. Reviewers like the high-quality materials and attractive styling.
If you’re looking for a midsize sedan that’s roomy like the Altima sedan, yet more fun to drive, the Mazda6 is worth a test drive. Reviewers say it provides one of the most engaging driving experiences among midsize cars, with sharp handling and precise steering that auto writers love.
For the Altima sedan, Bluetooth connectivity becomes standard on the SR trim. The base Altima sedan 2.5 starts at $21,170, while the upgraded 2.5 S sedan costs $23,330, increases of $520 over equivalent 2011 models. Both come with the aforementioned 2.5-liter inline-four and a continuously variable transmission. Meanwhile the V-6-powered sedan SR sees a $700 price increase, to $26,190.
