However, I do understand how this can be mute to anyone who needs to constantly drive in stop and go traffic.
Friday.Paragon Honda has both the I4 and V6 to test drive.

Altima TSB (Technical Service Bulletins)
By the way, I've had MY 2002 3.5SE since March and have had NO PROBLEMS WHATSOEVER.
Thanks Again!

Here's a picture of me exiting Turn 10:
At any rate, I'm starting to follow these mpg figures more closely. I will be appalled if it turns out that an Altima 2.5SL w/auto, under typical conditions, is averaging barely over 20mpg. It's hard to believe when the engine is rated at 23/29. I've never had a vehicle perform that poorly compared to EPA figures. And I'm a fairly heavy footed driver. I also agree that even the 3.5L should be doing at least 20mpg. Again, under reasonable mixed driving conditions. If what I'm hearing is accurate, Nissan's new engines, especially the 2.5L, would indeed seem to have a bit of an efficiency problem. I guess it's a good thing they compensate somewhat with above average performance. However, Nissan is walking a fine line here since, IMHO, the average 4-cyl shopper in the mainstream sedan category isn't looking to sacrifice above average mpg figures in the name of all out performance. Just my .02.
The Altima is going to average in the low 20s because it's a pretty big, heavy mid-size car.
Nissan Altima 2.5S- 3095 pounds
Toyota Camry 2.4LE- 3142 pounds
Honda Accord 2.4LX- 3113 pounds
Or an invoice with just the floor matts, splash guards and micro filter if I have to play that game ?
Thanks
VW are very nice but they are notorious for there weight!
Does anyody know how long Nissan is going to take before they significantly update the Altima?
Here's the post:
"The tank scale is not linear and you quickly realize that. Just check your mileage and fill the car at 3/4, 1/2, 1/4, and Empty and see how much it takes. It is that simple, don't worry, be happy. Approx Numbers: Above Full = 100% in tank; Full = 90%; 1/2 = 60%; 1/4 = 30%, Empty = 15% in tank"
Can anyone confirm or refute this?
When is Honda gonna significantly update the 03 Accord ? Please tell me it's gonna lose its hideous looks soon.
And to the guy who got 17, your car is very new. Give it time to break in a little, usually around 1000 miles at least, before measuring economy.
