      @malcolmman89 Yeah that urban legend is getting kind of worn out. Not very original. Pretty much any car driven by a young moron who doesnt give a shyte about anyone else fits. Had more than a few older Mercedes C class do the same thing to me, including the other day. The MB star gives them more street cred.

    In my dragy testing, I clocked the Altima 2.0T at 6 seconds flat 0-60. This is definitely my favorite midsize sedan in this class. Love the feel, handling, powertrain, and the seats. Believe it or not, they are more comfortable than many luxury cars. Also, they get up to 153mph before hitting the limiter. They have really strong performance.

    Another Altima to adorn the roads, as it flies by doing 90mph in a 35 mph zone. Complete with a spare tire that’s been on for over a year, missing hubcaps, a “buy here pay here” license plate frame, no insurance, and a cracked bumper.

    I've had the Platinum AWD since 2019. Love the car all around - it did great in the Colorado snow. The 19" wheels were gorgeous but I sold them after two weeks as they are horrible kidney-busters and got 17's. The ride is still bad but tolerable. Had the car shipped with me to Germany - it does great on the Autobahn even though the cruise control wont operate past 90mph and the gas gets shut off at 120. Love the new larger infotainment screen but sad to see the fog lights deleted. Would love to see the turbo offered in AWD.

I've driven the Sentra, the maxima, and the versa, as well as the Camry and Malibu, all with a CVT. They all sucked ass equally. Unless you were flooring it, the car refuses to move.

    I admit Nissan has improved their designs, but their reliability has dramatically worsened.
    I own a bloody mini and had a minor issue with it in 22'000 km since i bought it used.. (it's 2015)
    And a guy across my street bought a 2020 nissan sentra only driven 45'000 km since he bought it already has technology issues.
    The main reason Nissan is going bankrupt is also due to Infiniti.
    Infiniti in general is spiraling down so fast, they had to pull their market from Europe and only sell Suvs here in North america to try and raise sales. Does anybody actually notice the fact Infiniti hasn't updated their designs in like 10 years.... that's why!!
    Nissan needs to fix all the problems with reliability.... consumer reports show brand new sentra
    A freaking cheap economy car
    Rated 2.8/5 for trustworthy or engine reliability.
    To be beat out by Mini
    Come on! Minis average reliability for anything past 2016 is now 3.7/5
