Nissan Altima Named 2011 Used Car Best Bet in Mid Size Sedan Category

Recently, Edmunds.com put together a 2011 Used Car Best Bets list. The researches at Edmunds evaluated thousands of vehicles. They looked at compact sedans, large crossovers/suvs, and everything in between. When evaluating the vehicles for the list they considered factors such as reliability, value, safety, and availability. They also limited eligibility to 2004-2009 year models because older models usually have higher mileage and newer models haven't depreciated enough. In the end, there was only one car selected for each category and the Nissan Altima was selected as the Best Bet for the Mid size Sedan category.

It is no surprise that the Nissan Altima was selected, and Edmunds.com had several good reasons for why the Altima came out on top. The Altima is not your parents sedan. It has seating for 5 people, while having athletic handling and strong performance, especially if the Altima is equipped with a V6 engine. In 2007, the Altima was redesigned inside and out. The exterior has lots of luxury car elements while the interior was soft and sleek. That same year, Nissan offered the CVT (continuously variable transmission) that made the ride smoother and increased fuel efficiency. Also in 2007, Nissan made a hybrid version of the Altima, but it was only available in 8 states.

So, if you are shopping for a used car, and you want one that is fun to drive, yet has room for you, your family, and your friends, then the Nissan Altima is your car. And after purchasing your vehicle, don't forget to purchase your Nissan Extended Warranty to protect you, and your wallet, from high cost repairs should they be needed.
