What's one go for in a 6-speed base model, I wonder?
The engine is underpowered. 0-60 10.1 sec.
The above is cool with me.

But thanks for getting that information - I think that Nissan's got a lot on the ball. I rented a 2014 Nissan Rogue SUV out of Sea-Tac airport and loved that rig. Handled like a champ and had a lot of power for me - I drive a 2011 Kia Soul, after all.
This Nissan Sentra thought will be fun ta add ta the mix and think about!

Just think of all the other things you could do while waiting to hit 60mph. in that 10.1 time

That said, if you can get a Civic for Sentra dollars I'd probably do it. The Civic should have better resale and is rated for slightly better FE; overall cost of ownership ought to be lower.

Fiat Chrysler cuts shift, idles 1,300 workers at Mich. car plant
April 6, 2016 - 1:08 pm ET
DETROIT (Reuters) -- Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is laying off about 1,300 workers indefinitely and ending one of the two shifts at its Sterling Heights, Mich., plant that makes the slow-selling midsize Chrysler 200 sedan.
U.S. sales of the Chrysler 200 dropped 63 percent in the first three months of this year from a year earlier, as FCA has de-emphasized sales of the model which had been often sold to rental agencies....
Nissan. 2016, 149,784............ sold
2015................ 132,560
13.0% increase .................367,544 to 333,786...............................^ 10.1% for 2016
Altima are flying out of dealerships. 2016 Altima sales may have passed Accord sales this year?

More likely is the Accord doesn't dump as many into rental pools, and tends to not have the same huge incentives, so price only shoppers move on.

If I'm on a budget in the midsize market Camry , Altima , Sonata , Optima during certain months have much better incentives than Honda, Mazda6, and Fusion. Otherwise I agree with Ben Accord is better than most mentioned
.
Somebody once said cash is King.

As the Edmunds review put it:
"Sporty handling isn't a priority for most family sedan buyers, obviously, so for the majority of drivers the Altima will be adequate, though not impressive. The ride quality isn't as smooth or composed over rougher pavement as rivals', but it's not overly harsh, either. Like many things about the 2016 Nissan Altima, it neither excels nor fails."
No clue if that impression would have changed with a longer drive including some highway. Driving around local doesn't tell you much.

In terms of midsize rental cars I'd probably put it close to last. I think the Sonata is best midsize car that can be had as a common rental. Next for me is the Fusion. The Altima is about equal to the Camry to me, which isn't saying much. I guess the Altima beats the stuff from Chrysler?
I've never had an Optima as a rental car, but the new one is earning raves.
In terms of employment in the US when it comes to midsize cars, we have to take our hats off to the Japanese and the Koreans. The Camry factory in KY, the Altima factory in TN, the Accord factory in OH, the Sonata factory in AL, and the Optima factory in Georgia together provide quite a bit of good jobs.
I have my preferences in the midsize range, but they aren't what I'd call strong preferences. I suppose I'd lean to the car with the best driving dynamics---the most fun, vs. perhaps comfort or gadgets.

His biggest compliant was the Gm radio that died 2 years ago that he needed to replace. I think he got his moneys worth out of this vehicle.

suydam - thumbs up ta the Mazda 3 choice. I am re-falling for the re-badged Mazda 2 sedan, the 2016 Scion iA. Need ta re-check the iA's 0-60 time, though, speed ain't really my bag, baby. The 2016 Scion iA would dash me around Kansas plenty Earnhardt, Jr.-ish.
