I bought a 2013 Altima from a rental car company with 30k miles on it in 2015. No major issues aside from typical items like oil, breaks, battery. It currently has 252K miles on it and it's going strong. Regular oil changes, freeway miles, and quality fuel seems to work.

Likewise, I had a 2007 3.5 SE I bought used in 2012 with around 40k miles, then traded that in 2013 for a new 2.5 SV. The 2007 only had around 75k miles when I traded it, but still I had zero problems with that car. My 2013 just passed 200k miles, and while it does have a check engine light on (cat, or maybe O2 sensor), it runs like it did when new, and other than a compressor control valve for the A/C compressor, it has needed nothing except oil, tires, brakes, and battery. Oh, I did have the CVT fluid changed around 85k, so will probably have that done again soon. While I agree Toyota has a better general record for build quality (not even close to the 10x Scotty wants us to believe though), I have also ridden in some older Camrys that felt like rattle traps. I also used to think Honda was up there with Toyota, but then I bought a 2016 Pilot... but that's another story.

If it was that alone I would agree but it isn't that alone is it. Did you watch the video? Trashed expensive PS pump, broken motor mounts, cheap plastic interior, etc. Cheap buy turns into a money pit. That's what I heard. I've also worked on cars for about 30 years and was a Mercedes mechanic in a Pontiac dealership for a while after I left Mack trucks so I have a wide variety of experience and not too long ago sold my '85 Dodge Shelby Turbo which I regretted soon after doing so when going to look for a suitable replacement. I guess I'll be driving my '85 Jeep CJ and '74 Plymouth Duster (highly modified) for a while longer. Maybe I will be able to find another Shelby close to what I sold mine for. In 32 years I've replaced the radio, computer chip, and turbo (all by choice, for better performance) and 3 batteries.

You understand some people never do transmission fluid changes and their cars are fine. My grandpa has a 2007 silverado still on original trans and fluid and its still going perfect. Nissans HAVE to have the cvts meticulously maintained or they just fail. Why would you defend a car that requires that much maintenance just to not fall apart?

Scotty lost me on this one. I have a 2013 Altima and it runs great with 194,000 miles on it, I bought it with 30,000. I take care of it and do its oil changes, trans flush, and maintenance religiously with excellent results. I did have to change some things that any car with this amount of miles would require like Motor mounts, struts, and bushings.

@Christian... I had same issues on altima I had years ago. The hesitation, or rough idle when stopped/slowing down (also occasionally stalling out completely) was corrected by changing cam shaft sensor. The issue where engine turns over, but won't crank (also had fuel smell while turning over) was corrected by changing crank shaft sensor. Both are relatively cheap parts to replace. You can get a name brand replacement for either of them for $65-75. Took me about 30 mins to replace each. Hope this helps

I have a 2003 Nissan Altima with over 233,000km (at the time of this writing) and these are the problems I’ve noticed on this vehicle. -water pump failed (replaces under warranty) -crankshaft and camshaft sensors went out and set a SES light on. -the valve cover seals will start leaking oil into the spark plug tubes at around 166,000km leading to misfires and ruined spark plugs/ignition coils. -the exhaust manifold/precast will disintegrate which sends abrasive materials in the engine causing oil burning. Mine is burning 1/2 quart every 2000km -motor mounts goes out on this vehicle. A clunking/vibrating noise upon acceleration. -the passenger, front seat floorboard will corrode leading to a hole which is a safety hazard. -headlights will yellow out. Just needs any headlight restoration. -the blower resistor motor goes out and Nissan made it difficult to put a screwdriver in unless you break the plastic in the way. -SES P0442 and P1456. Couldn’t find the source of the leak despite replacing gas cap and “smoking” the system.

The only repairs needed was the motor mounts (specifically the one next to the coolant reservoir), battery, and the notorious front catalytic converter issue before it would cause any major issues.

Those aren't bad. Ofc they can have transmission issues, but they're still pretty decent. I really think a car will show its reliability when it gets 200K+. Like your average brands last around 150K-220K, your above average brands can go 300K+. I once bought a 05 Honda civic with 300K Miles. It drove like it had 60K. Unfortunately the car had too many DIY jobs and the timing belt happened to be one of them (installed incorrectly and it melted by rubbing against something). I've owned allot of cars, and when they hit that 200K+ Mileage I start getting anxiety and think "I don't know" when it comes to large distances to travel, but that Honda was one of the only cars that made me feel otherwise. I think having the tiny engine and basic engineering made me feel like there was little to go wrong. Plus again, the car drove like 60K. Granted, my most reliable cars were Nissans, 1998 Infiniti Q45 T and a 1997 Maxima, many years of trouble-free ownership, solid build, never had any issues. This was pre-Renault merger though so of-course they were reliable. By far my best exp with any car.

Rusty floorboards? Better check them.

I did a transmission swap on a 2005 Altima now the transmission won't shift out of first gear. The speed sensor seems to be okay because the speedometer works. I've been told the TCM needs to be reprogrammed. Is that true and how much should that cost?
