Default Test-drive the Nissan 2006 Nissan Altima

When equipped with the V6, the Altima is arguably the best performer among mid-sized sedans, and among the most fun to drive. Nissan's 3.5-liter V6 features the latest in high-output, variable-valve technology, producing 250 horsepower at 5800 rpm and 249 pound-feet of torque at 4400 rpm.
The 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine is more economical. The four-cylinder rates 24/31 mpg City/Highway with the manual transmission, 23/29 with the automatic. The 20-gallon fuel tank, considerably larger than most in this class, means Altima can travel a long way between fill-ups.
This is a stable car at speed, and the suspension and brakes are tuned appropriately for the job. The Altima felt secure at 80 mph in a torrential rain storm. The four-wheel disc brakes are easy to modulate for smooth handling and deliver plenty of stopping power.
Overall handling is exemplary. The rack-and-pinion steering gives precise directional control, with good feedback. The multi-link rear suspension, a sophisticated design that uses aluminum components to reduce weight, enhances the stability of the rear end, even on bumpy roads. When it comes to chassis dynamics, the Altima is a class-leading performer. Enthusiastic drivers will love it!
