Likewise, I had a 2007 3.5 SE I bought used in 2012 with around 40k miles, then traded that in 2013 for a new 2.5 SV. The 2007 only had around 75k miles when I traded it, but still I had zero problems with that car. My 2013 just passed 200k miles, and while it does have a check engine light on (cat, or maybe O2 sensor), it runs like it did when new, and other than a compressor control valve for the A/C compressor, it has needed nothing except oil, tires, brakes, and battery. Oh, I did have the CVT fluid changed around 85k, so will probably have that done again soon. While I agree Toyota has a better general record for build quality (not even close to the 10x Scotty wants us to believe though), I have also ridden in some older Camrys that felt like rattle traps. I also used to think Honda was up there with Toyota, but then I bought a 2016 Pilot... but that's another story.

If it was that alone I would agree but it isn't that alone is it. Did you watch the video? Trashed expensive PS pump, broken motor mounts, cheap plastic interior, etc. Cheap buy turns into a money pit. That's what I heard. I've also worked on cars for about 30 years and was a Mercedes mechanic in a Pontiac dealership for a while after I left Mack trucks so I have a wide variety of experience and not too long ago sold my '85 Dodge Shelby Turbo which I regretted soon after doing so when going to look for a suitable replacement. I guess I'll be driving my '85 Jeep CJ and '74 Plymouth Duster (highly modified) for a while longer. Maybe I will be able to find another Shelby close to what I sold mine for. In 32 years I've replaced the radio, computer chip, and turbo (all by choice, for better performance) and 3 batteries.

Nissans HAVE to have the cvts meticulously maintained or they just fail. Why would you defend a car that requires that much maintenance just to not fall apart?

Scotty lost me on this one. I have a 2013 Altima and it runs great with 194,000 miles on it, I bought it with 30,000. I take care of it and do its oil changes, trans flush, and maintenance religiously with excellent results. I did have to change some things that any car with this amount of miles would require like Motor mounts, struts, and bushings.

@Christian... I had same issues on altima I had years ago. The hesitation, or rough idle when stopped/slowing down (also occasionally stalling out completely) was corrected by changing cam shaft sensor. The issue where engine turns over, but won't crank (also had fuel smell while turning over) was corrected by changing crank shaft sensor. Both are relatively cheap parts to replace. You can get a name brand replacement for either of them for $65-75. Took me about 30 mins to replace each. Hope this helps

I have a 2003 Nissan Altima with over 233,000km (at the time of this writing) and these are the problems I’ve noticed on this vehicle. -water pump failed (replaces under warranty) -crankshaft and camshaft sensors went out and set a SES light on. -the valve cover seals will start leaking oil into the spark plug tubes at around 166,000km leading to misfires and ruined spark plugs/ignition coils. -the exhaust manifold/precast will disintegrate which sends abrasive materials in the engine causing oil burning. Mine is burning 1/2 quart every 2000km -motor mounts goes out on this vehicle. A clunking/vibrating noise upon acceleration. -the passenger, front seat floorboard will corrode leading to a hole which is a safety hazard. -headlights will yellow out. Just needs any headlight restoration. -the blower resistor motor goes out and Nissan made it difficult to put a screwdriver in unless you break the plastic in the way. -SES P0442 and P1456. Couldn’t find the source of the leak despite replacing gas cap and “smoking” the system.

Ironically enough, the most reliable car I ever owned was a 2006 Altima with the 2.5L and automatic transmission. Bought it in 2010 with 99,000 miles and totaled in 2016 by hitting a deer at 243,000 miles. It never let me down or with routine maintenance. The only repairs needed was the motor mounts (specifically the one next to the coolant reservoir), battery, and the notorious front catalytic converter issue before it would cause any major issues. RIP Altima.

I think it's safe to say change the fluid once every 5 years or 60k miles, don't use the shift tapper, and don't drive with a lead foot. Car is smooth as hell, drives nice. A few minor jobs along the way like power steering and fuel pump. I'm working on the radiator hose tonight and fixing the AC temperature control actuator. Hasn't been a bad car really.

Third gen Altimas are pretty reliable, overall. The pre-cat issue does suck, but the common issues with the car (Crank/Cam sensors and Motor Mounts) are pretty cheap and easy fixes, overall. I've seen plenty of these Altimas with 200K+ going strong.

I gave 5k for my 1 owner 2003 Camry that had 102,000 miles on it. I new how rare it was to find one with that low mileage, zero damage or rust and still 100% original. 3 1/2 years later at 155,000 and I doubt I ever get rid of it. Lol I didn’t even try haggling with the guy on the price. Handed him a stack and bolted in case he changed his mind about selling it.

My family had a 1999 Altima that we finally just got rid of. Almost 300k miles. Never had too much trouble. Sad what has happened to Nissan over the last twenty years.

I love my 2005 Nissan Altima. I have giving it good maintenance. I like how it drives. It feels sporty.

One of the best car education show yet, great presentation, informative and practical. Honestly please keep it up!!!

We picked up our 2005 Nissan Altima 3.5L V6 last week and, other than some fading paint and minor damage to the quarter panel on the front-passenger side behind the wheel, this car is great! It had 113,900 miles when we drove it away. The previous owner replaced the struts, replaced front and rear brakes, installed a brand new front bumper, installed new rear taillight assemblies, changed the fluids and filters, too, in the weeks before we picked up the car. The tires look almost like new. We replaced the chamber filter behind the glove box, had the inside and outside professionally cleaned and recharged the air conditioner. This car had sat in the previous owner's driveway untouched and not driven for almost 9 years after he bought a roomier 4x4 SUV for his wife and she stopped driving the Nissan Altima immediately. It had cobwebs all over it, dust, dry leaves, twigs, dead insects inside and underneath, but it looked really good after a thorough cleaning. It drives a freaking dream!!! Great power, very quick. The previous owner upgraded the exhaust and intake. There were no rips, tears, stains inside either. We are very happy with this car. Best of all, the previous owner just wanted to get rid of the car and open up his driveway for his other vehicles. We paid NOTHING for it -- absolutely not a single penny. It passed our state's very strict emissions testing, too, which I was worried about. The only problem we experienced with the car was the driver's side door handle was broken off when we took it to the car detailers, one of their employees pulled too hard on the handle and broke it off. They got a replacement from the Nissan dealership and original OEM paint, but I have to install it, which shouldn't be a problem (gonna do that this morning, in fact). We love our 2005 Nissan Altima and hope to keep it for years to come.

I bought 4 cars of this same model and NONE gave me trouble, this guy is knocking nissan way to hard. This was like the most reliable altimas ever made, I say this with complete confidence!

I had a 99 Altima GLE with an automatic transmission. Bought it new in 2000 as a dealers demo for 15K$ it had 14K miles on it. I ended up putting 186K on it. 15 years of ownership. Never any engine and transmission issues. Just all the usual wear and tear stuff. Hell it even made a move to and from GA to WA in 2011 as a 10 plus year old car zero issues I had it packed to the max. Over time the driver side window control module stopped working. The AC system never an issue. It ran like a tank all things being equal given how I didn’t properly maintain it as much as I should have until later on in the vehicles life. It’s sad how the Nissan quality went down after that in the 2000’s. It had a 2.4L DOHC 16v engine that ran like a champ.

This video hit my funny bone just right! I laughed and laughed during the whole thing!!!

Love my 2.5L 2004 Altima. 17 years old, bought new, replaced ac compressor at 10 years. Alternator at 13 yrs. crankshaft position sensor failed at 5 years. That’s about all, everything else just maintenance items. 108,000 miles, paint looks great, alloy wheels perfect. Has been a nice car overall. Looks like the Altima here has had rough treatment.

They were great. The introduction of this model was really the beginning of their problems.

I had a 2005 Nissan Altima with 450000 miles before I sold it and it was still running. My 2013 Altima is at 175000 miles and is running smooth. Take care of your car and for the most part it won’t let you down.

I had a 2013 Altima 2.5 with CVT transmission. I eventually had to replace the transmission @ 80000km and 170000km. I had compressor shut down on me @ around 120000 ish. I had the car brought brand new and did all the services with the dealer for fear loosing warranty in case the transmission failed - which it did two times. Despite having warranty I had to pay close to 1000 USD for gaskets , seals and oils which were not covered under warranty for each transmission change. However I did use it for 220000kms of which 90% is highway driving. On the good side gas mileage was pretty awesome compared to a Camry or Accord for same era my friends had. I used to get 13 -15 kms per liter. I eventually sold it off for a less than 20% of the original price in 6 years time. While at the same time I had a 2003 Corolla which had 260000kms which I sold at th same time which sold of for 25% of the original price after in 16 years time. I was a huge Nissan admirer being in Dubai but the Altima experience kind of put me off in ever trusting Nissan brand.
