2010 Nissan Altima

Improvements for the 2010 Nissan Altima include a redesigned front body style

, upgraded audio systems, larger touch screen navigation systems, and standard stability control. Sedan models previously labeled 3.5 SE are now called 3.5 SR and see the loss of the manual transmission option. Ipod and Bluetooth connectivity have been standardized as well making them either more affordable additional options, or standard features on high-end models. As a mid-size sedan or coupe, these cars offer sporty styling, high safety ratings, high quality interiors, and a lot of available features.

Parents who need a family style sedan, yet still want to have some fun with the car they buy will be more than impressed with the new 2010 Nissan Altima. It is fairly hard to notice that they fit the standard family sedan profile. Models equipped with the V-6 engine offer a lot of power and feel a lot closer to a sports car than anything else. The increased amount of interior accessories and modern appearance make them wonderful additions to the Nissan line of cars.

Available body styles include both sedan and coupes. Basic models are the 2.5 that have only a few standard accessories and can easily be upgraded to consumers preferences. Basic features are cruise control, remote keyless entry, trip computers, AC, and a tilting steering wheel. Most noticeable on 2.5 models is the absence of a stereo, though the wiring and speakers are already included. The next step up is the 2.5 S trim offered on both sedan and coupe body styles. Standard features for these models include remote keyless entry, 17 inch alloy wheels, CD player, remote car starting, and convenience packages include even more features.

2.5 S models equipped with convenience packages (sedan) come with dual zone climate controls, Bluetooth and bipod connectivity, satellite radio, Bose stereos, rearview cameras, and a sunroof. 2.5 SL trim models are upgraded to complete leather upholstery, heated seats for front passengers and drivers, and xenon headlamps. Consumers looking to optimize 2.5 models will do better with sedans than the limited options available for coupe models.

The high end model of the 2010 Nissan Altima fleet is the 3.5 SR edition. Offered with a V-6 engine, 17 inch alloy wheels, enhanced suspension, Bluetooth and ipod ports, sunroof, new xenon headlamps, optional spoilers and fog lights, it is as sporty as any car in the market. Navigation systems are available that can inform drivers of traffic conditions as well as a full weather report.

Under the hood consumers will be offered two different engines. base models get a 2.5 liter four cylinder that has a horsepower output of 175. There is also a CVT (continuously variable transmissions) one sedan models, while coupe packages come with a 6 speed manual transmission. Fuel economy for the smaller engine ranges from 23 mpg in city driving, and 32 mpg highway. For a family sedan those numbers are more than fair, but not quite the best in the market. The larger engine is a 3.5 liter V-6 that puts out 270 horsepower. Fuel economy for these models range from 20 mpg city to 27 mpg highway.

As a family sedan, the car market really doesn't offer any sportier of an option than the 2010 Nissan Altima. Properly equipped packages come with a lot of accessories and more than enough power to impress consumers who don't want to admit they are running errands for their kids. Even younger consumers will be impressed with all the available options these cars have to offer. Pricing is relatively fair, and for what is offered it is hard to say there is a better deal in the mid-size sedan class.
