CVT with Xtronic. Won't last long! In a class by itself! This handsome-looking 2010 Nissan Altima is a great little car! It gives you plenty of GO and won't kill your billfold! Normally the lower trims on a car in this segment means missing out on a lot of items you may take for granted, but not so on this 2010 Altima 2.5 S series. Along with a freshening of the styling this year, Nissan also added their Vehicle Dynamic Control/Traction Control System as standard equipment. Combine that with the comfort of air conditioning, the convenience of power windows/locks/mirrors, the safety of 4-Wheel Antilock Brakes and Nissan's Advanced Airbag System (AABS) with 6 airbags (front, side, and curtain), and the neato-factor of a remote-entry Intelligent Key with a pushbutton start feature and you have an amazing amount of car for the money. J.D. Power and Associates gave the 2010 Altima 4 out of 5 Power Circles for Overall Initial Quality Design.
