The ratings and reviews are in, the 2011 Nissan Altima earns above-average ratings from a myriad of reviewers. The most impressive part of the the car, just may be its safety rating. The 2011 Altima comes in a coupe or sedan, a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine or 3.5-liter V6 engine.

Engine and MPG Review:

2.5-Liter Four-Cylinder Engine produces 175 horsepower with 23/32 MPG City/Highway.

3.5-Liter V6 Engine produces 270 horsepower with 20/27 MPG City/Highway.

Reviewers said that the 4-cylinder model provides good acceleration and power in its class, but just about every other reviewer citing the V6 model as the engine the provides the most power. "With the V-6, Altima is quick and quiet; with the 4, it's a little less quick and a lot less quiet." - Chicago Tribune

One of the areas reviewers were in agreement was on interior. Most reviews gave marginal or poor reviews because of the cramped seating area in both the 2011 Altima sedan and coupe. Many reviewers cite that there are a lot of desirable features including Bluetooth streaming audio, hard-drive-based navigation system, back-up camera and more. But you have add on each of these "technology packages," and they can be quite expensive, as sometimes you have to add on another package when you justed wanted one to begin with.

Lastly, the cargo that can be held is quite good: 15.3 cubic feet of space on the sedan. Reviewers also say that the 2011 is also technologically relevant with plenty of space for cell phones, music players, and other gizmos.
