Different strokes for different folks. I really enjoy my car. And of all of the cars in nissans recent lineup the altima was the perfect choice for me. I couldve gotten a Z but it just wasn't practical for me ( backseat, insurance)

not a huge fan of the z's or 35s.. nice cars don't get me wrong.. just not my taste.. if either I would do the 35.. I would do a GLI, GTI, A4, something along those lines..

I'm not a fan of the price of service on german cars. Being I work in the service dept at nissan, if anything goes wrong with my car I can pretty much have it warranted at no cost to me.

I was looking at euro cars. On auto trader, I kept seeing a bunch of BMWs that looked really nice that were in my price range. Im just afraid maintenance cost would be high, same with mercedes.

I figured the altima is a good fit cause I like how it looks and seems like a decent performer. And most likely cheaper to maintain than said companies above.

any maintenance is high on a newer car

ive seen CV joints on Kias cost $250 per side

ive also seen $400 water pumps on a new dodge diesel.

oil changes are the only budget maintenance.

When i had a BMW the parts were high but it was worth it.

I loved paying $10 per spark plug, $75 for a rotor, $80 for a cap and $250 for wires
