Price I paid: 20,900 + Tax + Admin + Licensing
What I got: 2013 Nissan Altima 3.5SL with Tech Package with 24,200 kilometers.
Pros
- Stylish Look
- 3.5L engine provides plenty of power with 0-60 in 5.2 seconds.
- Decent fuel economy considering the powerful 3.5 engine.
- Blind Spot detection and Lane Departure Warning included with Tech Package. (Tech Package standard on 3.5 SL models from 2015)
- Reversing Camera has MOD sensors which detects movement and warns if moving object is detected (but no front or rear parkiong sensors)
- A very nice amount of leg room and head room for the rear passenger. (only car in its class with slightly more leg room is the 2014+ impala)
- Very nice instrument cluster with a lot of information.
- Heated Steering Wheel. Great for places with really cold winters. I.e., Canada
- Comes with factory remote starter that can detect outside temperature and can set climate inside car accordingly.
- 9 Speaker Bose Sound system is nice but not great.
- 18" Alloy Wheels on the 3.5SL model.
- Cheap maintenance.
Cons
- No LED lights (can be upgraded though with LED DRL, Tail and Headlight but will cost around $1500)
- No memory seating.
- Passenger seat is manually adjusted.
- No Parking sensors (atleast until second half of 2015 and only in USA at the moment)
- Leather of the seat is not high quality. My 2 year old with only 24k on it i find cracking already.
- CVT engine has had a lot of bad reviews and lots of people with their transmissions failing.
No heated seats for rear passengers.
- The navigation systems seems a bit slow when putting in data.
- Poor quality reversing camera.
Good value for what you get as long as transmission doesn't go it's an awesome car.
