. 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.

Summary:
|
The sportier side of mid-size.
By Phil Berg, NewCarTestDrive.com
The deal is sweeter for a new Altima, since all of the refinements and improvements come at what amounts to just about a $150 increase. Fewer are pegged for rental fleets as well. The new Altima is a high-quality sedan made even better. We like the trimmer size compared to the larger and much more popular Accords and Camrys. If you like trim, maneuverable sedans, this is a great buy. |
|
Overview:
|
Nissan's Altima is just right for some folks: smaller, more nimble and less expensive than the Maxima, Accord, Camry and other mid-size cars, yet faster, roomier, more comfortable and more sophisticated than compact cars. It handles like a sports sedan. For 2000, the Altima boasts a lot of changes that make it an even better car than before. For starters, it's nearly three inches longer. Fresh styling gives it a sleeker look. And refinements are everywhere, many aimed at reducing noise and harshness. The engine has been tuned for more power, the transmissions have been improved, steering response is sharper, and the suspension is firmer. If you can't justify the expense of a Maxima, the Altima is an excellent choice.
