Nissan Altima 2015 Problems

It sounds as if you want me to give you the go-ahead for an Altima purchase. OK, done (even though I prefer the Camry). There is nothing dangerous about the Nissan's steering and you will adjust quickly to the feel.

The Nissan CVT can have problems. A whirring or grinding noise is a common issue, and it’s usually a bearing failure in the transmission. If you have such a noise in your car you should contact Nissan (1800 035 035) to discuss repairs.

The Civic is so good — one of the best Japanese cars I have driven for a very long time and a definite for The Tick — that I wouldn't bother about the Nissan.
