Today we are going to show you probably one the best sedans of its time. When Nissan dropped the Altima's 4th generation in the USA, it grasped its competitors by neck and showed them that this is the force that is to be reckoned with. Although 4th Gen Altima shared a lot of design aesthetics from 3rd Gen but it was real head turned when it came to the practicality of the car.
Even today there are some very good deals available on the 4th gen Altima, especially in gulf countries. This model is particularly famous because of good value for money and reliability, parts availability and best of all easy repair. As of today, 2009-2011 models are available as cheap as $2500 whereas the facelifted version costs approx. $5000.
The particular variant that I owned and about which we will talk is 2012 facelifted model. The car had 2.5 liter in-line 4 cylinder coupled to CVT transmission. It was basic spec car primarily known in USA as SR variant. The car was bone stock before it I became its owner. The car had 106k KM on the meter and it was throughout driven without any accident.

The car was one of the most practical sedans that I have owned so far, powerful engine, fairly good leg room, loaded with all basic features like power seats/mirrors/windows/boot liftgate, keyless entry, push start engine, dual climate control along with rear seat air condition, cruise control and Bluetooth connectivity. The car was outright luxurious enough to compete with the likes of Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, Toyota Avalon, Hyundai Sonata, Kia Optima, Mazda 6, Chevrolet Impala, Ford Fusion and other similar cars.
The car clocked 200km/h without any hick up with non-stop spree of exhaust gases gushing out of its dual cat-back exhaust. Although it used to come with a spoiler but this particular variant was without spoiler which made it even more less resistant to drag.
Let me have your thoughts on this car in the comment section below.
Thumbs up if you like it, I'll see you around in next post!
