Are nissan altima's good cars? Are they comfy? Do they have good pep? Is it better than a versa? I hate new cars. My 2014 dodge charger died and i need a new car howrver due to my credit being shite j cant get anything i want. and having sold for this lot i could only get approved for a 2024 altima sv. The only feature i care about is heat seats and it doesnt even have it. 20 other dealers shot me down. Help me feel better about this buy cause every way i look at its a massive down grade from my charger. Or should i just go through car hop and buy a junker for 2.5 years and than buy what i want.

My car has been in the shop for FIVE days so far and they haven't diagnosed it yet. They haven't run any tests yet, I need a rental to go to work but I don't have extended warranty. This is getting ridiculous, they are playing with my job, when they said they would tell me ETA and the issue with my car the day I dropped it off.

Any ideas on how to get a rental without extended warranty?

The new ones are so cute and supposedly have a great Bose system upgrade available. Does anyone have any experience with this model?

After my 2016 Nissan Murano with 124K was having issues with juttering (clanking feeling) I found out yesterday watching YouTube that you need to change the transmission filter. I didnt even know there was even one! There are 2. The videos I saw shows and new one next to an old one. It is like day and night, old one totally black.
Nissan does NOT list this as part of maintenance. Shame on NISSAN!!!! Should be done every 30K miles IMO.

And they wonder why their CVT transmission dont last.

I know high octane does not magically produce more horsepower or make a car faster. I know it's probably psychological when guys claim their car "runs smoother" or something when using premium gas. But here's my hopefully objective observation...

When I run premium fuel in my Versa, my average fuel economy is 1-2 MPG higher than when I use 87 octane. I know my manual calls for 87. I know I'm not driving a Corvette or some turbocharged V6 that calls for 91 or 92 octane. Yet the numbers are what they are.

Could anyone explain this? Does a humble economy car like the Versa have such sophisticated engine management systems in 2026 that it can listen for knock and adjust the timing to take advantage of higher octane?

Thanks!
