2006 nissan altima

Hello dear. I would like to share my experience of owning a 2006 Nissan Altima. The car was purchased new in December 2006. Information about the car: engine 2.5 hp, automatic transmission, electric mirrors and windows, air conditioning, velor. To date, not much has run just 7 tons. Km. But it has already made an impression. Yes, by the way, I switched to Altima from a 1990 Mercedes E class (there is a review on the site), so some parallels will be drawn with it. Firstly, there is a new car, always wanted a new foreign car. I’ll start with soundproofing, it’s rather weak, like all Japanese women, the bottom and wheel arches, in my opinion, are not “silent” in any way, the engine is better, but it clearly starts to tap to 3000 rpm. On the Merc, of course, everything was quieter. The suspension is harsh, but not as much as, for example, in the new Hyundai Sonata (aka NF), here it is rather more elastic, although it is better to avoid holes with sharp edges, it responds very painfully. The motor is ver 2006 nissan altima y responsive, frisky, though a little noisy at medium and higher speeds. Automatic transmission - 4 speed with very stretched gears, on the 3rd at a speed of 60-70 km.h only 2000 rpm. I did not notice any special thoughtfulness in the box. The ventilation and air conditioning system - the stove is very hot, the air conditioner is a little weak, if there are 4-5 people in the car and go into the heat, then even the air conditioner set to the maximum can barely cope, it was much stronger on the gelding. There is no forced ventilation as such, perhaps the cabin filter is to blame. By the way, with a sharp increase in speed, the machine pulls very strongly to the side, probably grenades of different lengths are to blame for this. The most pleasant side of the machine is fuel consumption, with a volume of 2.5 liters and a herd of 175 hp. she eats about 11.5-12 liters in the city and 9-9.5 on the highway, on a Merc with its 136 hp. was 14 and 10.5, respectively. All the same, the truth was printed in American publications that a car is considered very economical. There are disadvantages like - a little expensive service, very sensitive to fuel quality (I only fill with 93 because it has less trash like additives in it), rather low, especially the L-shaped pipe going to the rear muffler, poor visibility to the rear, installation of parking sensors is desirable an unpleasant rattle that appeared recently in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe dashboard, I don’t know what it is, but in principle it doesn’t press on the ears and it doesn’t always appear. In general, like the machine, take it. Good luck to everyone and mutual respect, not only on the roads. You can take it, but in Russia this model is not popular. And the oil loves to eat this unit, especially with the 2.5 CCVTI engine, which is dual-camshaft. Oh, how it loves. at the factory. although I note its dynamics are excellent (about the dviglo QR-2.5) Convenient contagion! © 2000 - 2022 Automarket.Ru™ For persons 18 https://cars45et.com/listing/nissan/altima/2006
