The facelifted third-generation Nissan Altima offers sedan practicality, but choosing a used example also means looking beyond specifications. Service history and how the car drives deserve as much attention as your preferred engine and transmission.
Nissan Altima engine and transmission choices include the gasoline 2.5 MT and 2.5 AT, both with front-wheel drive. The manual gives you direct control over gear selection but requires clutch work, while the automatic handles shifts for you and reduces effort in stop-start traffic.
