I actually traded in my 18 Camry SE for an AWD Altima SL and I’m glad I did. For the same lease price I got a car with way more features, things the Camry doesn’t offer like semi-autonomous driving, heated steering wheel, fog lights, remote start (key and app), among others. The Altima has way more comfortable seats, Bose speakers, satellite radio, and it’s quieter inside. The Camry had a flimsy tin can exterior and a jerky transmission. I have no complaints at all with the CVT and there is a sport setting that does improve throttle response for those high speed drives. That’s my experience between the two.
Planefixer1 we had a 14 Pathfinder and the CVT never worked right. Got rid of it quick. Luckily didn’t take a financial bath. Would have a year later as the CVT transmission reputation got more known.
People don't know how to drive a manual transmission. So my reply means nothing but I get 4.2 second 0 to 60 in my cvt transmission. The cvt is not a problem for me but I don't ever put my vehicle in drive
My grandmother drives a 2012 Nissan Morano. Came home one day pissed because she thought here transmission was broken🤣. I had to explain the characteristics of a CVT to her. "Won't shift"
The Apple car play when the phone is connected is really good. Totally hands free navigation & texting really good speakers, & Siri is really good at voice determination when driving.
The Camry is an okay car. The exterior is very nice but the interior look like it was supposed to be in the 2004 model. The Altima is nice exterior and interior.
We’ve had Nissan’s with CVTs in our family and not a single problem with any of them. Just got 150K miles out of a 2012 Quest and had no indication of any CVT problems and traded it in for a 2016 Quest. Maintenance was done by the book I should also mention. It seems to me the ones with 4-cylinders have had the majority of problems. I’ve had experience with the Murano’s and Maxima’s as well which have the bulletproof VQ V6. My friend who also has a Subaru Legacy with a CVT has over 200k miles on his and no problems so take care of it and it’ll take care of you.
Nah i don't need a new Nissan i am happy with my 99 Nissan Altima 2.4 147 k milles i had it about for 5 months runs great as long it takes you to point A to point B
catsspat my buddy has a 2016 Altima with just a little over 260k and he beats the piss out of it every day lol cvt is reliable if you do the cvt fluid change as recommended every 60k
Not sure why TFL continues to do the navigate to Snarfs test as must people dont use in the in car navigation to begin with. Most people like myself will use Andriod auto or Apple CarPlay even when a vehicle is equipped with on board navigation.
Couple of notes, knowing these cars well, do 0-60 in sport mode (it completely changes the dynamic and shift points of the CVT) and have the driver do the voice commands. Nissan uses directional microphones that pointed directly at the driver so people on the phone don't hear the road noise, and trust me they work really well.
A little late on this comment, but I just rented a 2020 Altima and I never heard the CVT drone with the stereo on. My wife's Camry did the exact thing and the automated locks quit working and the ac blower harness kept coming unplugged every six months until I replaced the blower motor.
Does not look more aggressive then The XSE Camry / TRD Camry which look the most aggressive in the class. That Camry’s base engine can not be beat. Good power believe it’s the most powerful base engine in the class.
I wouldn’t buy, lease or rent the Altima, Nissan is making horrible cars at the moment. When Nissan starts making better cars then I’d actually consider them.
Not to mention the business is in financial trouble. Take into account the big recession we're going into I would only buy an auto from companies likely to survive. Ford is in BIG trouble after their credit rating got downgraded to JUNK yesterday also. 😱
The Awakening At this point, a Nissan is at the same level as a Ford or GM product. Hell, it might actually be worse than those two. Crazy how the mighty have fallen.

No that would be laughable oh ok maybe the dinosaur Nissan Frontier yea not at all, oh the murano oh forgot that’s a pos too.
People that dont even own cars with CVT are on here talking about how bad they are. Somehow cars with CVTs from the late 90s & early 2000s are still on the road with hundreds of thousands of miles. SMH lol
My car & my color 😍 but a 2019 I got mine for $15,995 only 25,000 miles though. I love it. Hope it performs better than these harsh comments I’m reading.
Drove a 2020 Nissan Altima SV front wheel drive, as a rental. Found it to be quite quick off the line, certainly much faster than 11s to 60. I had it in Sport mode in City driving, so it had programmed "shift" points with the CVT. It was quick off the line and with from 50-70. Made me think I had a strong V6 under the hood, but it was the standard 4 cylinder non turbo. Maybe the AWD changes the driving dynamics that much. Thanks for your review, keep up the great work.

A Friend of Mine had a Nissan with a CVT Transmissions. She had nothing but problems with it since it was new. It failed at 35,000 miles & Nissan wouldn't warranty it.
I don't hate CVTs, but Nissan has not done a good job with their CVTs, from what I've heard. Improving their transmissions might just save the company, as well as better interiors.
Please include the phone apps that most manufacturer have now. Example: nissan connect, ford pass, uconnect etc. For the techie viewers like me. Thank you!
I'm generally not in favor of leasing for personal finance reasons. But when you lease a car you have the choice to buy it at the end if you like it or turn it back in. I would definitely lease it first and reevaluate when the term is up.

I don't like the Nissan but he's a mechanic...they fix shit that's broke....just a like a Toyota mechanic, Honda mechanic...and so on...I am sure they all suck if we ask a mechanic.
The people blasting CVTs. im curious of if you actually owned a car with one 1# and 2# if so did you do maintenance as it is called for. im guessin alot are repeating trash are just repeating stuff from other people.
Same people blasting Nissan for the CVT's casually forget that Toyota and Honda makes cars with CVT's as well....trust me, my Accord CVT has gone out 2 times under warranty. No one is blasting Honda over their shit.
jnagime No, some companies do make good CVT’s, like Toyota and Honda. Even Subaru makes a decent CVT. Nissan on the other hand makes such awful CVT’s that it tarnished the reputation of the entire transmission in general. Nissan CVT’s are literally the worst in the industry.
@@kevinnorris6558 Incorrect...Toyota and Honda have shit CVT's as well. I have a 2013 Accord that's on its 3rd CVT. Honda insisted the CVT fluid is lifetime...in reality ALL CVT's fluid should be changed at 30k miles MAX. Nissan got a bad rep because they said CVT fluid is lifetime as well at first. Thousands and thousands of CVT's died at 40-50k miles because CVT's cannot tolerate old fluid. I change my Honda CVT fluid every 30k miles now and it appears to have fixed the premature death.
I had a disappointing experience with Nissan. I purchased a 2015 Altima a few years ago and besides the awful CVT I loved the vehicle. Unfortunately, at 38,000 miles I decided to trade it for a Camry because the transmission had gotten so jerky. If Nissan could focus on quality I feel like they could do so much better.
How about a TFL update on the Nissan Lawsuit - Nissan gives $1,100 back on a bad CVT But Won't forgive the loan on the bad deal that will cause $3,000 - $5,000 to fix. Come on TFL.
I would want the maxima. I want a real v6 and not a 4 cylinder vehicle. Just wished the maxima had AWD. I can’t decide if I want the Maxima or a Murano now. The luck I had with my Camry, I will never own another Toyota.
krazielos Was driving down the highway transmission lost all the gears which over rev the engine and cause 4 out of 6 pistons to shoot out of the block. It only had 35k on it and Toyota wouldn’t cover anything. Made me pay for the rental car, and all the repairs. Then after all the new engine and trans were in it only made it another 5k before it caught on fire. The tech at Toyota didn’t latch the fuel line on right which caused it to caught on fire. That was all back in 2012. Now my grandparents 2015 Highlander is starting to give them problems with a leaking transmission line. They already had the whole power steering system replaced since it failed at 14k.
I'm just here to read the comments from People regurgitating comments from other biassed you tubers on how bad Nissan is and their CVTs are but yet have never owned a Nissan or even put a wrench on any car...smh.
Not even in the same breath as a Camry. That thing will be needing a new CVT before the first year is over. Once you had enough visiting the stealership service garage, you will found out that the Nissan trade in or resale value is next to nothing. Ouch.
Nou Long Moua I had the 2019 Altima for a year and a half. No issues. I like the CVT. And I drive a lot 90 miles a day round trip. The only reason I don’t still have it is because I upgraded to a Nissan Maxima, which still has a CVT. Love Nissans.
I wouldn’t trust them with a midsize sedan review any longer. In the video that the manufacturer watches it’s all nice and competitive, but if this car ever gets discontinued they’ll be found saying “when your up against Camry , and accord , you have to BRING IT( blah blah blah) it was ugly , the interior was (kinda) nice , they offered two engines with the same 0-60 which didn’t make any sense while every midsize car has a faster option from the start of its introduction and made available in lower trims , because while they offered the N version , that’s a top trim and not accessible for normal consumers , the Sonata just wasn’t competitive enough in that class of car “ They did it to the 200 and dart. Those cars where great great great on the media drives but once they got discontinued, they all of a sudden they hate the 200 interior materials , and that interior and those materials is the same interior they called a Lexus competitor . I still can’t believe they all did that then bash the car in every (list ) styled video they have.
Do you not check your facts, or does no one fact check you. There are more then just 3 midsize sedans with AWD available or standard in the US market. Did your forget that Audi, Mercedes, BMW, Volvo, VW, Acura and even Jaguar make midsize/fullsize sedans with AWD.
its a well known fact that the nissan (JATCO) cvts only last 100k miles just in time for warranty to be gone lol. that is why there is 3 new class action lawsuits coupled with 2 previously settled class action lawsuits.
I don’t even believe that they titled this video like they did. Anyone that knows anything about cars knows the Camry is the leader in both quality and reliability. And did Nissan just post a 70% profits cause their cars are crap and people are finally starting to see it.

Even if these cars were same price it's a no brainer with the Camry. FAR better quality, reliability and resale value.
The proper trim on the altima S at 26K to be comparable to the camry le. 32k is affordable to most people, not clickbate title either.
You mean Tommy every car comes whit all that safety stuff and options
i think many people assume Toyota costs twice as much since they last three times longer
Lol well they start at 24 and change for the S AWD model which comes pretty loaded soooo.

Does it have automatic engine start/stop? If it doesn't you should mention that. If it does, you should review how smooth and quick the system is.
It does not

Tommy is by far the better tfl host.
He is way more reasonable
navigate me to Snarfs 😂
love my 2020 Altima SL.😘
Those plastic runners under the hood really worry me for long term reliability
That engine sounds like a freezer doin overtime with that CVT
Roman is always biased against Nissan. Let’s have somebody else review Nissan from now on
“Turn temp to 72” meanwhile all German luxury automotive companies are just now starting to put stuff like that into their vehicles.. be realistic.
nissans new style is so awesome looking, great styling. the only thing that holds nissan back are CVTs...
Not even in the same breath as a Camry. That thing will be needing a new CVT before the first year is over. Once you had enough visiting the stealership service garage, you will found out that the Nissan trade in or resale value is next to nothing. Ouch.
Nou Long Moua I had the 2019 Altima for a year and a half. No issues. I like the CVT. And I drive a lot 90 miles a day round trip. The only reason I don’t still have it is because I upgraded to a Nissan Maxima, which still has a CVT. Love Nissans.
A seriously flawed CVT in the Altima, avoid it at all cost.
Toyota and Honda use CVT's as well...all CVT's have problems if not maintained. 2013 Honda Accord is on its 3rd CVT....They're all shit
Yes and there not going to survive this recession
I wouldn’t trust them with a midsize sedan review any longer. In the video that the manufacturer watches it’s all nice and competitive, but if this car ever gets discontinued they’ll be found saying “when your up against Camry , and accord , you have to BRING IT( blah blah blah) it was ugly , the interior was (kinda) nice , they offered two engines with the same 0-60 which didn’t make any sense while every midsize car has a faster option from the start of its introduction and made available in lower trims , because while they offered the N version , that’s a top trim and not accessible for normal consumers , the Sonata just wasn’t competitive enough in that class of car “ They did it to the 200 and dart. Those cars where great great great on the media drives but once they got discontinued, they all of a sudden they hate the 200 interior materials , and that interior and those materials is the same interior they called a Lexus competitor . I still can’t believe they all did that then bash the car in every (list ) styled video they have.
Great Review, but I would go for a Subaru!😊
Do you not check your facts, or does no one fact check you. There are more then just 3 midsize sedans with AWD available or standard in the US market. Did your forget that Audi, Mercedes, BMW, Volvo, VW, Acura and even Jaguar make midsize/fullsize sedans with AWD.
For $32,000 you could buy an Accord 2.0T Sport with a 6SPD😳
the answer: NO! Jatco CVT money pit! The camry with the aisin engine will be doing laps around that nissan once it's motor starts falling apart.
True that Toyota gearbox will do laps around it
Really? More aggressive than the Camry? Man you guys really have a thing against Toyota
Charger comes in awd
The Charger is a full size sedan, this is a mid sized sedan, much smaller.
Damilola Akanni In terms of size or class? Because this car is about the same length as the charger and has more leg room than the charger.
its a well known fact that the nissan (JATCO) cvts only last 100k miles just in time for warranty to be gone lol. that is why there is 3 new class action lawsuits coupled with 2 previously settled class action lawsuits.
That is not a fact but it is a fact they will only last 100k if you don't do the proper maintenance like on ANY transmission, CVT or not.
It's an OK lease vehicle. I love Nissan's but until they can prove that they can make a reliable CVT transmission, I will stick with a Camry
Ford Fusion is available in AWD! Nissan Altima is the Hertz and Enterprise queen
Was.
I.just got.2020 love it
Oh my gosh that cvt drone hurts me
I don’t even believe that they titled this video like they did. Anyone that knows anything about cars knows the Camry is the leader in both quality and reliability. And did Nissan just post a 70% profits cause their cars are crap and people are finally starting to see it.
