2022 Nissan Altima Reviews SummaryThe Nissan Altima goes right for what Canadians gravitate toward in mid-size sedans: a single reasonably powered engine and a standard all-wheel drive (AWD) drivetrain—no front-wheel drive (FWD) here—configured in three trim levels with the sporty Midnight Edition package incorporated into the SR trim. But in a crowded midsize sedan segment that includes the ubiquitous Toyota Camry and the Honda Accord, not to mention a handful of other competent entries, the Altima has its work cut out for it. | |
2023 Kia Forte Reviews SummaryThe 2023 Kia Forte makes its mark among rival compact sedans with value. You get more for the money than with its rivals, but at the same time, you won't feel as though you have to sacrifice quality or performance. It's an all-around solid choice in a very competitive class. | |
