The 2008 Nissan Altima is a stand out among mid-sized vehicles with its trademark sporty features. Available in four main trims, The Altima is also offered as a sedan or a coupe. And for those concerned about mileage, there is also a Hybrid version.

Among the strong points of the Altima would be its safety ratings as well as its reliability.

Although some may point out that the Altima lacks the practicality of a more traditional sedan (due to its sports-oriented design), this is one car that certainly appeals to anyone who is particularly concerned with performance and handling more than anything else. And indeed, the Altima is quick and agile for a car of its class: a more exciting alternative among mid-sized cars.
