CarReview's opinion of the 2008 Nissan Altima Hybrid

Pros:
  • Stylish good looks
  • Hybrid technology
  • Being less dependant on greedy oil companies
  • Touch screen console
  • Bluetooth® option
Cons:
  • A little pricey ($30k as tested, $25k base)
  • Sloppy handling through the corners
  • Small trunk
  • Noticeable transitions from electric to gas motor
Verdict: Deciding between a stylish ride or doing the sensible act of choosing the practicality of getting great fuel economy isn't a problem when looking at the Altima Hybrid. The Altima is not your typcial cheese-wedge hybrid with its 16-inch alloy wheels and dual exhaust. Props to Nissan for bringing together environmental responsibility with style and panache.

Review 1 of 1

Price Paid:  $31000.00 from Metro Nissan in Redl

Year / Model Reviewed:
2008 Altima Hybrid

Strengths:
Blue Tooth, Navigational System, heated seats. Very good mileage. Smooth ride. Side curtains and side airbags (not on back seats).

Weaknesses:
Very small trunk. Noticible shifting from electric to gas below 20. No ventilating seats. No automatic seat controls on the front passanger side.

Summary:
I have owned an Altima 96 before starting to look at a new car. I didn't think I would be purchasing another Altima so I looked into Audis, Lexus, and Mercedes. One day on my way to work I decide to stop at a Nissan dealership to see what they got. I wanted to look at a Maxima, however when I saw the Altima it caught my eye! and it was a hybrid. So I test drove it after test driving a Lexus 350, Audi, Saturn and Mercedes. Well I really liked it and the next day I bought. I bought top of the line which has everything I wanted; something that a other models I test drove lacked. The Nissan Altima Hybrid averages 34 for me in the city and highway. It comes with Blue Took, Navigational system with voice recognision. The screen is very clear and not too small. With a subscription you can also get XM radio. XM gives you a 90 day free trial for the radio and traffic monitor. I really enjoy the Nissan Hybrid. I am glad I bought. It has been a very good experience.
