When choosing a restyled second-generation Nissan Altima sedan, look beyond the version name: maintenance history and how the car drives can help you judge whether a used example suits your needs.
The 2.4 AT and 2.4 MT are examples of this Nissan Altima’s gasoline powertrains, both driving the front wheels. Your choice of transmission shapes everyday driving: the automatic handles gear changes for you in traffic, while the manual gives you direct control over gear selection and requires clutch operation.
