2009 Nissan Altima Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, drivers love the 2009 Nissan Altima for its sporty feel, smooth ride, and impressive performance. Many appreciate the CVT transmission and its fuel economy, making it fun and economical to drive. However, some drivers noted slightly higher fuel consumption compared to competitors like the Camry. There are also small concerns about rear interior space, but many regard the Altima as a reliable choice with good build quality and aesthetics."
The acceleration is amazing, despite the fact that a 2.5 Liter engine isn't the biggest thing on the block. The braking is great and it is fun, fun, fun to drive. Also a very roomy cabin makes it a great car to take your friends around in. And the style is basic yet perfect.

February 1, 2012The CVT is a great transmission. Good power, gas mileage, and smooth ride. I think the appearance is more sporty than either Accord or Camry. Price is also much better than either one. I went for all the optional packages except for the Navigation. Nice leather seats, great BOSE radio, bigger wheels, etc. A fun car to drive. Can be had for a great price!
August 25, 2009this is a very nice car with modern look. so that not just family but even bachelors can enjoy driving it. you will never get tired in long trips and it gives a very good gas mileage inside city on freeways. i always loved her.
January 31, 2014Beautiul vehicle. CVT drive with manumatic shifting makes this a fun vehicle to drive. Have the full package to includes climate control, Bose system, leather and heated seats, and the sunroof. Nissan has a great assortment of accessories that builds character to this vehicle without making it gaudy.

October 23, 2009Sporty feeling and fun to drive. Acceleration, handling and braking feel very responsive at all times and the CVT transmission only improves this. Looks amazing both inside and out and is able to turn heads without attracting too much attention.
October 7, 2009NOthing to dislike. Fun fast low profile car never have any issues. It is very reliable and recommend nissans to everyone. Especially there VQ35DE engine. A few Mods and you will be beating most cars on the road any day.
