2005 Nissan Altima 2.5S

Nissan, not so long ago, was on the brink of extinction. Renault walked in and injected some much needed life, energy and money into Japan's second largest manufacturer. Since then, worldwide sales have increased dramatically. From the time Renault became a major shareholder in early 1999, Nissan has redesigned its entire fleet as well as introducing 10 all-new models. The Altima was not much more than a reliable people mover until 2002 when it was decided that Nissan wanted to become competitive in one of the market's largest segments: midsize sedans. It was not long after that, that Nissan made its presence felt: the demand became huge and dealers had a hard time keeping stock. This time around, an automatic 2.5S with the Extra Package is what I tested and it retails for 25 298$. The complete range for Altimas is between 23 798 and 37 098$.
