It’s been so helpful for me. I was buying Altima today and you uploaded this video right on time. Keep it up bro! Like, Comment and subscription are from me 👍
Hello. I really appreciate your review videos on this car. You really got your money's worth with this car and to buy it for 15K that's a great deal!!! I had an Altima 6 cylinder and it was a beautiful car. I drive a Honda now and it's not as comfortable as the Altima was and it has had mechanical issues as well. I sold my Altima only because I inherited the Honda and it didn't make sense to keep both cars and the Altima was older. I need a car with AWD and I don't like SUVs so I have been looking at getting another Altima now that they come with AWD. I'm tired of hearing about all the HATE that the Altima gets in the auto community. The Altima is reasonably priced and they are good looking cars. Everyone brags about the Camry and Accord but Accord doesn't come with AWD and the prices on the Camry with AWD border on extortion. An AWD Camry is close to 45- 50K, there's no way a Camry should be priced at 50K. I will definitely consider buying another Altima. They say that Nissan has greatly improved their CVT. I never had a problem with the CVT in my former car. Just wondering, do you still have this car?? And how is it running??? Thanks for the update.
I still have it :). I bought a bmw to replace it but still use it as a daily driver to work and stuff. 225k just took it down on a 6k mile cross country trip. Comfy and averaged 37mpg on those bigger rims!
@@mkecarconnection3808 Hi. That's great. Please continue to do updates on this vehicle. You are teaching many consumers about Nissan. It's always good to have a real time testimony about this car. I always ask myself, "If this car was as bad as people on social media say that it is, Nissan would be put out of business"....Also, I love the interior of the Altima as well. Much better than the Honda Accord. I noticed the size of the glove compartment in the Altima is much bigger and functional than the one in the Honda Accord. If you view other videos on UA-cam, there are many reviewers you are honest enough to speak out on the CVT transmission issues with Honda and Toyota cars as well. Thanks for your reply. Please keep giving us updates on your Nissan Altima and if I decide to go and get the AWD ALTIMA, I will let you know. Thanks again for your reviews.
@@lanaofficiel4042 keep me updated! Yeah I plan on keeping the Altima until it dies. The funny thing is not only has it reached these high miles, they’re hard high miles. I beat on the car and have a lead foot and it doesn’t complain
@@mkecarconnection3808 Fellow lead foot. I sure will keep you posted if I get the AWD Altima. Thanks again for your informative videos on the Nissan Altima and I appreciate the honesty in your reviews on the Nissan Altima.
Baby miles. I had 372,712 miles on my 2015 Nissan Altima. Changed cvt fluid myself every 80,000 miles. Changed transmission fluid filter and transmission cooler filter every 200,000 miles
@@johnnymapalo966 the 2.5s don’t have a trans cooler from my understanding. They only have have one on the 3.5s. Thats why the 2.5 has issues but the 3.5s are generally fine just like the maximas
I got the exact same car almost 5 years ago for a great price!! I got it to 100K miles last year in September, sadly the transmission went out close to 110k miles. I love the car a lot but I’m going to have to let it go 😔
This is what happens when you MAINTAIN your Nissan! Most Nissan owners neglect these cars then will go cry to Toyota or Honda (those cars will fall apart too without maintenance).
You have taken great care of it and it shows. How about under the hood? CAT? Transmission? Oil Leaks? CV Axle? Radiator? Any replacements? How often did you change Trans oil? I just got a 2015 SL with 59k on it. Thanks for doing these reviews!
Cat has a light pop up p0420 but hasn’t come back in 25k miles. No axle, radiator or any major part. Did the trans fluid swap every 30k at Nissan dealer ;)
@@mkecarconnection3808 My 2010 Altima had the P0420 at 170k which did not go away and needed replacement sadly. What was your remedy to that engine light? Cataclean? It's amazing how yours is at 218k in such a good condition. Kudos!
@@sid5417 running cataclean and rislone seemed to do the trick. If it ends up coming back i dont think that stuff would help anymore but by then i cant complain. Thank you! Thats why i cant just go get rid of it for basically nothing. I do plan on taking it ona 6500-7500 mile road trip this summer. :)
@@mkecarconnection3808 Good luck on the trip! I have been watching your other videos on this car and thinking about a Headunit swap like yours. Have you ever considered installing a Transmission Cooler?
I have another 2015 Nissan Altima with 272,000 miles on it today. To get rid of the catalytic converter light. Get an induction service. Get BG product air intake cleaner. Run the cleaner through a vacuum line to your intake manifold. That will clean all the carbon black residue in your intake manifold. It will also clean your oxygen sensor as well. Clean out your throttle body through the opening when you press on your acceleration peddle. All of that carbon residue will fall down on top of your pistons. Use bg44k cleaner in an empty gas tank and fill your gas tank all the way up. That will clean up about 40-45% of the carbon that fell on top of your pistons. It will also clean any carbon deposits on your fuel injectors. Thank me later 😂
@@mkecarconnection3808 I got 2017 Nissan rouge with 2.5 motor like yours with 76,000 miles was going sell it but after seen your video going run it 200k
@@Ron-h4l keep up with maintainance and swap out the trans fluid every 20-30k for good measure. it usually runs me $200-240. Beats paying 6k for a new trans
I have a 98 Nissan Altima with over 300k miles and still running strong. Key was proper maintenance.
Subbed cuz i just got an altima 2016 and you feedback is pretty much peaceful to me.

Great vid!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Your Nissan lasted that long? Congrats!!!
How often did you do your transmission oil changes and is your transmission original ?
Every 30k. Trans was replaced at 8k and 41k. This trans has 180k ish on it
Nice video. How about under the hood like timing belt and transmission?
didn't touch the belts, and only swapped the trans fluid every 30k. It was replaced at 44k right before i got it but hasn't given me much problems
What year is it and is it the 2.5 or 3.5V6?
2013 2.5 SL
lol such a good video
How much did you buy car for
15k in 2018 with 44k ish
