The Nissan Altima has been on sale for more than 15 years and has now settled into the rare role of a practical five-passenger family sedan with handling and performance that appeals to the enthusiast. There have been four generations of Altimas, with the newest one introduced in 2007 and on sale now. The sedan has more recently been aimed at traditional segment leaders, and as such it has quickly matured in terms of features, finesse and power. Family sedans have never been more capable across the board than they are today, and competition in this segment is consequently fiercer than ever. Yet the current Nissan Altima manages to distinguish itself by offering ample yet refined power, especially with the optional V6, along with perhaps the sportiest handling of any family sedan. It also boasts a pleasant interior that's leaps and bounds ahead of its low-grade predecessors. The addition of a coupe model further broadens the Altima's appeal and makes it even more competitive with the Accord and Camry. Families -- or really anyone -- in search of practical yet lively daily transportation should give the Altima a hard look. The previous, third-generation Nissan Altimas is not entirely dissimilar to the current car and would be considered desirable from a used-car shopper's perspective. This 2002-'06 model was about 6 inches longer and had a new suspension and stronger body compared to the previous car. At the time, it was one of the most powerful family sedans available, as it came with either a 175-horsepower 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine or a 240-hp 3.5-liter V6. All models were offered with either a manual or automatic transmission. It took a while for the Nissan Altima family sedan, introduced in 1993, to establish itself in the marketplace and the hearts of enthusiasts. The first two generations, powered by a relatively peppy 150-hp 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, weren't flops -- but neither were they the blockbusters Nissan was hoping for. We found the second-generation Altima, which was sold for the 1998-2001 model years, to be a decent handler but too bland in its overall design. |
