sertac Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 After getting really tired of try to fix Cherokee. I dont even want to see it anymore. I found 2013 Altima SV with 63000km on it. Full service history available. Nice looking car(since i hate how Camry looking). I would like to know how reliable are those Altimas. I am making 30.000km a year and i want to have it for long time. I was planing to get Lancer EX but this one is more comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desertdude Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 All new nissans are very prone to CVT transmissions failure they start going around the 100-150k kms mark As a rule of thumb I would stay away from anything with a CVT transmission regardless of make. For the same money try something like an older Land Cruiser. This way you can have a reliable daily driver as well as a big somewhat comfortable weekend desert warrior too. P.S : Please dont punish yourself with a Lancer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.S : Please dont punish yourself with a Lancer. I want something newer than 2013. I want it to be economical on gas and usable for my wife. After 1 month i am getting married. it will be very hard to go desert after that so i am just passing weekend warriors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well then yeah you are pretty much stuck with shitty cars unless you open up your wallet a little more. Just out of curiosity what is your max budget so people can chime in with better options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rahimdad Posted June 24, 2018 Report Share Posted June 24, 2018 For all the reasons mentioned I would not go for an Altima. Try for Honda Accord. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I talked with @skumar83 on the phone also. He is saying he has some Nissan`s he is not happy with them. Probably i will go with accord or Mazda 6.
