2006 Nissan Altima 3.5SE Review, Walkaround, Exhaust, Test Drive

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Meet Nissan's "bread and butter" vehicle and see how its held up after 100,000 miles. Surprisingly, still a great car with a potent engine. Could use a bit more refinement vs it's Accord and Camry rivals but for those who want more raw/sporty performance, this vehicle is a winner.
"Though lacking a bit in refinement, the 2006 Nissan Altima is a midsize sedan to be desired, especially when equipped with the 250-horsepower V6."

    Redline Reviews....how different it was back then! Anyway you can consider bringing back older model car reviews to the channel. Right now it's just focused on new, but there'll always be buyers in the used car market and doing reliability videos etc would be great!

The 3.5's are very rare on the road, at least where I live.

    Just wanted to point out something you said that was incorrect. Both the "SE" and "SL" packages are available with leather. It isn't required to "upgrade" to SL in order to get leather. I love these VQ motors, and one of the thing that draws me to the Altima is that it shares so many materials with the Infiniti G series, namely the gaugages, directional and wiper stalks, and it's still available with BOSE. Just makes it feel more sophisticated IMO.

    We owned a 05 Altima S brand new, than sold it to an older cousin and not even after 3 years of ownership the transmission failed, I believe there was a recall on 05s and 06s. She had to deal with other problems also, she had electrical problems with the gauges and sensors. The car was never abused, luckily her father(uncle) is a mechanic and fixed it. I dislike the way they appear when passengers are in the back, the rear of the car sits very low.

    It should be noted that the four-cylinder models from this third-generation (MY 2002-2006) are to be avoided. The QR25DE is not a very reliable or well-designed motor. What happened with a lot of these models is the catalytic converter would fail, and damaged catalyst substrate would get sucked into the engine and intake manifold. This would score the piston rings and cause excess oil consumption. Sentras from this time that used the QR25DE (SE-R and SE-R SpecV if my memory serves me correclty) had the same issue. If you get an Altima from this generation, the ones with the VQ35 V6 like what Sofyan showed are pretty reliable. Just steer VERY clear of the four-cylinder models.

However, Nissan could have done better with the interior. I mean really? My dash started cracking only at four years old plus the interior is slightly on the ugly side in my opinion. Other than that, it's an awesome car! The only time I drive it, is when I want to have fun.

And pretty much one of the main cars that saved Nissan after Renault bought part of it.

    +MissAlazhiaAnjanice My 2007 Altima had several problems, the main problem was the transmission which had to be replaced when the car had only 54k miles on it. One of my co-workers drove a 2003 Altima & she had many problems with hers as well. They're very nice cars to drive & have strong engines, but they have there problems unfortunately. I sold mine earlier this year & bought a 2015 Toyota Camry. No more Nissan for me!

    Are Infinitis more reliable than Nissans?

    I drive a 07 2.5 S I've owned for 3 years so far & it's an amazingly fun car! Has a great balance of everything! Planning to keep it for at least 3 more years.

    They're really good cars with a nice balance of everything & they're more sporty than the current ones, but they can have problems with the CVT overheating. That happened with mine & had to replace it at only 54k miles, but under warranty. Nissan extended the warranty to 10 years 120k miles. I actually got rid of mine last year & bought a 2015 Toyota Camry XSE V6.
