2011 nissan altima review



All Altima sedans come with a CVT that acts like an automatic transmission but delivers power like a rheostat instead of via pre-set gear ratios. Their efforts more precisely match engine speed to power needs for greater gas mileage. 2011 Altima coupes are available with a choice of the CVT or a six-speed manual transmission, regardless of engine size.

Though some praise the Altima’s sport-tuned suspension for being firm, other think it can be a little stiff. The Altima is a nimble ride overall, agile and quick. It’s sporty but family-friendly. It’s great fun to drive, so a parent doesn’t have to sacrifice performance for comfort. The V-6 hops from zero to 60 mph in just 6.6 seconds, which is very snappy for a family sedan.

Since there is less distance between the front and rear axles, the coupe is slightly easier to handle than the sedan, but the price is a stiffer ride. The base Altima with the 2.5-liter four-cylinder is as good as ever, but recent competitors have sportier models in the same price range, if not cheaper.

The Nissan Altima’s length has been shortened by 2 inches from the last model, resulting in less legroom. The sedan can still hold four full-sized adults comfortably, but legroom and headroom will be at a premium. Altima uses the best materials for its class and the design is second to none. It has a unique, aggressive personality.
