Review: 2005 Nissan Altima SE-R

Traditionally, Nissan's SE-R nomenclature has been reserved for various hot-rodded Sentra models dating back to 1991. Starting this September, speed junkies will be able to purchase a version of the 2005 Nissan Altima that wears the SE-R badge, offering slight bumps in engine horsepower and torque and providing yet another reason to skip paying extra for the larger, heavier Maxima flagship sedan

before cvts killed nissan....
I would prefer this SER Altima instead of a new Altima
Hands down this Altima model is the best looking and best sounding of all the altimas, love the 18inch wheels and love the Hid headlights.

VQ35, the best V6 engine ever produced, reliable, powerful, smooth, you name it
Had the exact car ,for 12 years. The most fun family vehicle at the time .
the 05-06 Altima SE-R and 97-03 grand Prix GTP are probably some of the best looking mid sized sedans ever. and the performance that comes with them both (especially the GTP) is amazing and good fuel economy too i might add
Love my 2006 SL 3.5 V6! Amazing car

David Keller I have the ser, and seriously, it’s a big bomb!
i love this car, and the six speed is sick! Its a sleeper people trust me!
... and good MPG numbers! 20-30mpg for a 5 seconds 0-60mph mid-sized car, is actually REALLY good.

Housewives mainly drive the 2.5s and sl altima's. The sports enthusiast car is the 3.5se and se-r. With honorable mention going to the 3.5sl... these cars are good handling and very quick. The torque steer makes it a hand ful tho but only if you accelerate from a dead stop at half- full throttle
I had a silver 05 SE-R. That car was fun.
I have an se-r so I'm biased, but with a 6 speed, WAI, NWP spacers, block off plate, and 3rd CAT delete, I got 35.5 mpg on a 356 mile all hwy road trip. I got 32-33mpg hwy before any mods. I've driven a 2012 si, I like it, but I don't feel the handling is there. I can rotate the SE-R through the middle of the corner with the throttle, SI pushes. Obviously a lot of cars out there are better if you care about speed/cornering only, but I don't think there are many better all-rounders.
Good review & great Nissan.
I drove one years ago and should have bought it. Nice car and a shame they don't make them today. To many ho-hum sedans out there...especially in the Japanese brands.
I have a 05'black 6speed very nice car, plan to take care of it to restore it and keep it for sure👍
I'd love to get my hands on one of these!
This is just from motor trend magazine but, they were the only one's to test an auto SE-R. It did... 0-60 in 6.2, 0-100 in 16.5, 1/4 Mile in 14.7 @ 95 mph. The best #'s I could find with the 6 speed where... 0-60 in 5.9, 0-100 in 14.7, 1/4 Mile in 14.5 @ 99.2 mph. Hope this helps... I'm sure a great driver could get even better numbers than this.

Those numbers seem as accurate as I have been able to find. I owned a 2005 SE-R and loved it. I had the manual too. I had always seen 0-60mph in the 5.9-6.1 sec range. Not sure where they got mid 5 sec as stated in this video. The car had great torque. It had more torque than my 2003 Acura CL Type S 6 speed manual.
Somewhat related, I remember taking my Quest in for service in ~2008 and they had the most beautiful altima coupe 3.5 6MT in the showroom. They installed a wing and 18" wheels. OMG I almost bought it on the spot. Wish I would've.
Drooling. I want one!
getting this baby later.. RED too .. im soo excited getting it at 80,000km
This is bad ass car! i like it .....sporty, fast, good traction, and family oriented.
Thanks bro I just to have a cl type s and now I have an se-r but there's any video with this 2 cars racing and that will be grate
I sure love my SE-R :P Black of course:P
If this is mid 5s to 60, what will my 04 g35 coupe with more power and torque be doing then, mid 4s. I don't wanna believe those figures .
I had an se same year besides for a power steering leak and that notorious paint fade it was a good car
what a sick car, i own a 06 accord 6 speed great car and fun just not as fast as the SE-R, plus i like how this altima came with 18's
I just wrecked my Smoke Gray 2006 Altima SE-R. Someone cut me off and I flipped her 5 times on I-66... thank you to whoever it was that helped me out of the car... I'm so ashamed that I ruined her though... I had her 3 years... I can't believe I did that. She's on my youtube in a few videos... mainly covered in snow and going through car washes. Damn I miss her.
Mid 5's sounds about right for 0-60. My SE-R is a stock 06, auto with 145k miles and I just ran a 5.93 without pre-reving. TCS off of course.
@TheReapersSon the altima SER is not CVT, they started putting the CVT transmissions in the 08 altima
Definitely get this Altima if you want a decent transmission
do you have the altima SE-R? I usually drive honda/acura but I am looking at a USED alitima se r with 71,000kms....I am wondering how reliable they are and what the gas milage is like/./
Exhaust sounds really good too. There's one up for sale near where I live. Me and my wife are looking for a car to buy and I wouldn't mind daily driving this one. If only Mazdaspeed3's value would hurry and go down so we could afford one!
@JSics21 bumper restrictions not emissions, they realized you can drive a right handed skyline here and not a gto because of some bumper restrictions and now they're alowed in canada too late for pontiac though
the se-r is a better car than an acura tl? I don't know about that. The tl is pretty damn good, but with 120,000kms, is it worth it to get the se-r vs a tl with 91,000kms?
VERY NICE
can someone tell me what car is faster, the acura cl type s or the altima se-r?
lol i just bought an 05 auto silver ser 80k.. take delivery tomorrow. so excited
Ya but I am considering buying a acura tl. You can't tell me this is as reliable as an acura,can you? and what is the gas milage on this thing?
I just got my 06 Black Auto SE-R, i love it all i want to do is drive it all day but gas isn't cheap lol
WHATS FASTER?? 04MAX 0R 08 MAX 0R SER?
Acabo de comprar ese carro, es una belleza
DOES ANYONE HAVE A SE-R? I usually drive honda/acura but I am looking at a USED alitima se r with 71,000kms....I am wondering how reliable they are and what the gas milage is like/./
I thought the altima ser only cam in six sp manual?
I own this car, I love it.......can't say anything bad about it
I've driven awd, rwd, and fwd cars. let me tell you some front wheel cars handle better than rwd and awd cars. it all depends on the car. but I do enjoy rwd the most.

mid 5's ?? with the 6spd m/t right gas milage aint bad tho
I PERSONALLY OWN A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA SE-R! And for TOYOTA4LIFE
wat do they get? anyone on here got one i know wat he said but i wanted to see
my god... pretty nice bit of steel :-D
Jonny, you got your TL and TSX confused. It's also a 2.4L.
could i buy it in Europe?
damn i LOVE this car, the new altima coupes are bad ass but this style altima with the ser package is just plain sex. i hate fwd vehicles but i'd make an exception for this car.
you r right man, my friend had one it is bad, i don't know how Nissan made this car.
@darren15509 I understand completely. You can't do a proper power mod without a tune.
@JSics21 i agree i love altimas
umm it really does match it in power....what are you getting so revved up about???
My dad used to own one
my cuzin has one,...they are so very NICE!
@JSics21 they are in canada now, great cars you need more research done
TL is only V6 which is 3.0L+ unless you're thinking of the first TL which is actually a 5-cylinder. TSX is a 4.
Last of the REAL Nissan s (Altima SE R)
does this car need premium or regular, cause on fueleconomy.gov it says regular.

Premium 91 Oct. That's what my owners manual and inside the fuel door says
I know my GTO smoke's em pretty hard. :) Buslengths. The top end on them just isn't there.
Acura TL's cost about 6 grand more for the standart model . . . Not to mention they are heavier.
@GUMMYBEAYUH I think Pontiac might eventually be revived in the future, but then again maybe not since all the models in the Pontiac lineup could easily be sold as Chevrolets
looking to purchase a manual good condition se-r if anyone is selling one or knows of someone please let me know!
@JSics21 whatever... the altima is an american car. Try to find one in Japan, nissan made it for the US market. First the plant was in Tennessee now they moved to Mississippi.
hell yeah they have tq. steer but thats the ONLY thing thats bad about this car. they are very fast cars, if you hate fwd cars and you drive one of these you'll forget thats its a fwd car because you'll like it so much.
I wish they still had the SER altima...well I guess my 07 SE will have to do. Ill just make what the SER on the 4th gen altima should be. All I have on her is a Custom borla, Nismo spoiler, Takeda SRI, RL Y-pipe, and a RL strut bar. Just need light weight rims, lower it with coil overs and black tails. hmmmmmm
i almost got this car back in 05 but went for the v6 mazda6,, traded the mazda in for a mustang gt last year, LMAO,, 2011 mustang here i come!!!
is this car awd? it's fwd, then all the power is just a waste.
True. I was a GM guy until I bought my SE-R 2 years ago. I had a bad experience, and bad customer service.
@GUMMYBEAYUH Well it obviously wasn't or else it would still be around. The models you mentioned are good, but the problem is nobody bought them. And for a long time Pontiac was just mostly rebadges. Their sales tanked. But yeah I wish they could've stayed around longer so we maybe could've seen another iteration of the Camaro, a G8 wagon or pickup, or a new Solstice
Disappointed they ddnt make an se-r altima for last generation. Hopefully they will for the 2013 generation.
Ok starting off what I already said, a WRX or Ralliart, Civic Si, BRZ, New Camry, Charger, Mustang GT, 350z, GTi, Cobalt SS, AUDI a3 a4, Miata.. Just to name a few off the top of my head.
Of course, I actually thought it was V-5 when I was 10 years old and always wondered... but yea it's straight 5.
@sideeffectz1355 im watching this because i want to buy one but i want to get an sti or evo isntead as a daily driver
Don't think it's avail in Europe, I was just there for a month and haven't seen one. Keep in mind the Altima is a large car in Euro standards, It's about the size of a BMW 7...
@GUMMYBEAYUH Also, the late 1990's Pontiac Montana, and Grand AM were great vehicles too. The G6 took over from the Grand AM, and it's been a good car, and the Solstice was a fun roadster. Bring Pontiac back, and re-ignite it!
@JSics21 the dude you was arguing with is funny,lol! I'm just trying to figure out why the hell he's talking about the GTO on a Nissan clip.
@JSics21 I love nisssans but I have an regal they last just as long 250,000 thosand miles later same as my dads maxima
well common too, the GTO is a 6.0 V8, just on numbers alone id hope it would wiPS GTO,s suck, thats why they arent
its not available in europe, but i own one in america, you definitely don't want one. i hate it to drive. granted i dont have the se-r model, although with all that power going to the front wheels, i would imagine it's worse. the car was engineered for straight lines.
this exhaust sounds like the 09 maxima
I'd love to own one a second car, but the stuff you get in the SE-R for the extra 5 grand its valued at doesn't even seem worth it.
@JSics21 g8's pretty good thou
@EddieVedder13 All Altima's are best to my knowledge.
mhm but what sucks is that my dad won't listen to me, and wants to buy the car at the end of the lease simply because it's comfortable, and i don't think i'll be able to convince him. and he doesn't even know what a clutch pedal is, so it's not like i'd be able to explain why its a bad car lol.
I wish it had a automatic transmission in it to
How is it better than the Sentra SE-R? I guess it is so good that they still make the Altima SE-R trim, right? Oh wait, they do not make an Altima SE-R anymore. Also, true SE-R's have two-doors. Not four. Class is over.
@JSics21 Even though I'm a Nissan head myself, Pontiac was the best thing that GM had going for it. Between the GTO, the G8, and other past cars, they had a ton of history that shouldn't have simply been tossed to the wolves like that.
@JSics21 I believe the new Ford GT would kill it =]
@yhvh910 lol yea i have ran a GTR fast as hell gotta admit it was me at a car meet my friend charley in his lambo murcielago and another friend name George in his GTR i ended up willing but the gtr almost got me P.S i was looking to buy one but couldn't find one in my area :(
id take the altima se-r manual the g35 isnt much faster if it is...and the altima can be sleeper potential and g35 not really cause its known as a sports car. also the se-r wont be targeted by cops as much
How dare the freakin narrator say that the SE-R Altima power output is like a hybride honda accord! I freakin own one and it performs way better than it's compeditors!
torque steer is the least of a front wheel drive car's problems. i'm talking about understeer. i own a 2006 nissan altima 2.5 and it's terrible.
@yuyusuck first of all, if you do have a zr1, Why aren't you driving it instead of watching family sedan youtube reviews? Also, i know that nissan is a much better car company than gm, but Why are you trying to compare a 6.2L supercharged zr1 to a N/A 3.5L four door sedan?
The 268 Sport Se Camry with its Sport Suspension and upgraded steering feel and taunt suspension beats the SE-R. Not to mention its faster also. The Se-r is good but not all that.
