The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) provides 3
different ratings -
full-width frontal crash test
,
side impact crash test
, and
rollover resistance
. The frontal crash test indicates how
well the safety features and restraints
will protect an occupant in a head-on
collision. The side-impact test conveys
the chance of a severe chest injury,
while the rollover resistance rating
estimates the risk of rolling over in a
single vehicle crash.

CERTAIN OF THE BRAKE HOSES FOR THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL WERE ROUTED INCORRECTLY SO THAT CONTACT IS MADE WITH A SUSPENSION COMPONENT. THIS CAUSES ABRASION TO THE HOSE AND EVENTUAL LEAKAGE. A LEAKING BRAKE HOSE REDUCES BRAKING CAPABILITY, INCREASES STOPPING DISTANCES AND INCREASES THE RISK OF AN ACCIDENT. THE RIGHT REAR BRAKE HOSE WILL BE INSPECTED TO DETERMINE IF IT IS ROUTED CORRECTLY. MISROUTED HOSES WILL BE INSPECTED FOR DAMAGE, REPLACED IF NECESSARY, AND CORRECTLY ROUTED.

Summary:
|
Pleasantly luxurious, pleasantly affordable
By Professional Test Driver, NewCarTestDrive.com
Nissan says the Altima offers "affordable luxury," and we think that would be a fair way to put it. The Altima enjoys a price advantage over much of its likely competition, particularly when you consider the level of luxury features and appointments. In addition, it provides a superior driving experience when compared with many other sedans in its general size and price category, and it displays the kind of ride and handling behavior that most drivers can probably recognize and appreciate. There are certainly lots of good sedans worthy of your purchasing dollar. What the Altima offers is an alternative to the majority, a unique blend of characteristics that large numbers of buyers have found appealing. It stands out from the crowd, not like a sore thumb, but with a level of style, flair, luxury and flavor missing from many models. |
|
Overview:
|
The Nissan Altima offers an interesting alternative to those looking for a compact sedan. It's just slightly off the mainstream in several areas - styling, ride and handling, interior layout - and these traits give it an appealing character that makes it stand out from the crowd. The Altima was introduced in 1993, and because it has been setting a strong sales record all along, a natural conclusion is that Nissan must be doing something right. We think what appeals to buyers is the well-appointed interior, distinctive styling and exceptional roadability, all available at a reasonably affordable price and with commendably good fuel economy. The Altima is available in four trim levels: XE, GXE, sportier SE and top-of-the-line GLE. The price differential from the base XE to a fully equipped GLE will be more than $5000, so there's a lot of room in the Altima line to suit a wide range of budgets. Final assembly of all Altimas takes place at Nissan Motor Manufacturing Corporation in Smyrna, Tennessee.
