Wife's new DD...

[96svtcobra1]

We finally got rid of the minivan. It was a good family vehicle for 10 years. But it was well worn after so much time being the family hauler for my family of 4.

Now to the good stuff.
We had been shopping for something that could haul the family in a bit more style, get good gas mileage, and for me...still scoot pretty good.
We picked up a 2012 Nissan Altima 3.5 SR. 270hp V6. I am pretty impressed. The car is smooth and pretty quick.
I love the power, and it handles pretty decent too.
She absolutely loves the leather, sunroof, backup camera and sporty look.

Any one out there have experience with these Altimas?

Here's a couple of crappy pics.

Nice. Glad she enjoys it. We got rid of our minivan for a 2011 Traverse last year. We have 4 in the house and 1 in college. For some reason, here in Lawton, I get a lot of Altimas and Maximas that like like to try to goad me into racing. Not sure why but I very rarely give in. I think they are nice cars and look very stylish. You should race your Cobra with it and share the results. LOL

You are now on the SVTP hit list because you didn't buy American, watch out!

We looked at Ford only as far as American. Nothing fit us right - Fusion was too small, Taurus has an ugly ass and is too big. I won't own another Chevy - bad experience in the past. Chrysler/Dodge offered nothing she or I liked enough to really consider.

Neato - she has nice C's. But her or I ain't about to post pics of them. lol

Shanezt - glad to hear - I was a little worried about the mpg. But she drives very little miles per year - maybe 8,000 or so. But we will be using this car a little more than the van that it replaced. The last few years we used my Ram Quadcab as our family vehicle - 12mpg around town. It will be parked a lot more now.;-)

nissan is my favorite car company. the gtr is out of my price range and the 370z is a 2 seater so i got the stang. i've had 3 maximas love them. the altima in my opinion is even better. only thing that kills it for me is the CVT but im sure the wife doesn't mind the comfort. congrats

Just FYI I believe they sell a Vortech kit for them, bolt on around 125 horse. You'd surprise a shitload of people...LOL Nice looking car, congrats
