It’s just funny that most cars proudly display sports mode and this is a tiny unmarked button

​@@petrolectricdrive the turbo model Altima you'll feel a big difference

@@cedricmiller4370 oh yeah I’m sure! I’m driving a 2024 Sentra now and I like this better than the base Altima!

Hold the button

@@cedricmiller4370how does it compare to the old gen V6 ? I haven’t driven any just curious 👀

Why’s that because it keeps it in lower gear longer?

@@petrolectric basically, the lower gear kinda acts like an engine brake, it helps when going down a long decline so you don't wear out your brakes.

@@biker932012 it’s a CVT, there are no gears

@@petrolectric you might want to take a look at your own reply then smart ass, I know that it’s a cvt, aka a beefed up golfcart transmission, but the principle is the same, just replace the word gear with ratio.

@@petrolectric no shit Sherlock, btw take a look at your own comment. CVTs are just beefed up golfcart transmissions. Next time I’ll use ratio instead of gear just to make you happy, fucking smartass.

It bet it’s much more responsive on the turbo!

@@petrolectric very responsive but even without it it picks up good.

the 3.5 sl with paddle shifters in sport modes pretty fun

I’ll dust that 2.0 in my 2.5 … lmao beat plenty

@@Geefyeee hey.. If thats what you believe. 180 horsepower with a 7.8 0-60?? Okay sir 💀 I’m 248 horsepower with a 0-60 in 5.7 seconds

Haha yes they hide it well! Took me about two days to find it

So strange they almost go out of their way to hide it

Is it the turbo? I thought the Altima wasn’t a bad car honestly… just needed a bit more power so I’m curious if the turbo is much better

‼️‼️‼️‼️

Maybe on the turbo model, not on this one

@@petrolectricyeah this one has no pop it’s like 188 horse…180 if You get it in AWD

Nice! The CVT can handle that ok? How much boost did you get?

Genuinely curious how the cvt holding out

Same here

I drove a rogue sport after this and it was soooo slow! I can only imagine the kicks!

Well most sales people are d!psh!ts lol - its amazing how little they know about the products they sell

Yeah much more power in the SR!

@@petrolectric I love the car and recommend it to anyone. I've never had a brand new car. I've always driven out old farm trucks 😂 f350, my husband suggested this car and it real is great. I'm not sure how the paddle shifters work so I just don't touch them hahahaha

@@hudsonr5985 that’s good to hear! I wasn’t super impressed with the base model but I bet the SR is pretty good

It's fun to drive the sport mode with paddle shifters on SR's

@@stylezsick100 I wish I knew how I'm scared to death I'm gonna break something lol

I believe the SR models have that option

SR has much more power! This was not the same engine as yours

@@petrolectric which engine is this in the video? 2.0 with the turbo?

@@DownPulse2011 no this was the standard 2.5 non-turbo

There's a 2.5 and 2.0 sr trim they both have sport mode

It’s very unnecessary in this car and makes little difference. I just found it interesting that almost every other car advertises sport mode and this one is hidden with an unmarked button and just a tiny “S” display in the dash when activated.

​@@petrolectric just because you didn't drive the car hard enough to notice a difference doesn't mean it doesn't do anything. It does. I mean it doesn't change suspension or steering but it definitely changes what the transmission drives if you double click the sport mode while flooring it at the same time when you initial put your foot on the pedal the car will downshift much more sharply and give you the quicker revs you need but you wouldn't know that.

Keeps you at a higher RPM too. Lowkey it Ds doesn’t stand for drive sport, stands for donkey shit bc it’s pointless as hell 🤣☠️

@@TYRAJR when driving normally the rpms are only slightly higher on the hwy so during hilly driving its easier to maintain speed. I use it to help me slow down when going downhill or powering out of a corner for better response. It works. I use it all the time so no its not useless.

@@TYRAJR so true 😂😂

Unfortunately yes, it’s pretty worthless… basically just revs it a tiny bit higher

@@hercqlees8114 look at the gear selector in the dash - do you see a small s next to the D?

@@petrolectric nope. Every time I click the button it stays the same. I put in drive also

@@petrolectric solved the problem. Took off the auto shifter and this white plastic piece that covered the prongs was off and the prongs were bent out. It’s all good now!

@@hercqlees8114 oh weird, glad you dieted!

Because it’s not sport if it doesn’t say jt 😂

I don’t think I ever had one with a button there for OD, I remeber the ford trucks had it on the stalk with the column shifter

@@petrolectric i had an old 99 camry and it had it on the shifter so did my moms 96 corolla🤙🏼

@@Calleseprro nice! Back in those days I was broke af and stick with American junk cars - wish I had Toyotas 😂

All trims do except the base model "S". Instead of Apple CarPlay, the base model has something called Siri Eyes Free, which can do everything that CarPlay can do (using voice commands) except put your phone on the screen. So, basically the only difference is that when navigating, you have to use your phone as the navigation screen, but you still have the siri voice telling you when to turn through the car speakers.

Does the SR have the 2.0 turbo? This was a base 2.5

It’s a rental base model so I didn’t even think there would be a sport mode… but every other car is basically highlighting sport mode haha, just found it interesting that’s it is a super discreet non labeled button

Maybe in the SR, but in the base motor it’s barely noticeable difference

Hahaha have you never tried it?

🤣🤣

There is absolutely zero chance a 2015 Nissan Altima can hit 160 😂

@@petrolectric it says it in my speedometer

@@xxlil_waexx1709 🤣🤣🤣

So slow haha, but overall not a terrible commuter car

The car is definitely not slow. If you’ve driven a base corolla, Sentra or other compact sedan those are slow. The 2.5 Altima is actually decently fast and if you are a regular person not used to driving bmws or Porsches you should have no problem at all with the power.
