If you are in the market for a preowned vehicle offering comfortable seating and excellent fuel economy, consider the 2017 Nissan Altima 2.5 S as your next commuter. According to the U.S. News & World Report, this sedan boasts top fuel estimates in its segment among non-hybrids, plus its front-seat comfort is unrivaled.
Â
The 2017 Altima is powered by a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, which produces 179 horsepower for great acceleration and passing power. Mated to a front-wheel drivetrain, the sedan gets up to 27 mpg in the city and 39 mpg on the highway, which is best-in-class. According to the EPA, it’ll cost you only $1.74 to drive the Altima 25 miles, which is extremely affordable for a gas-powered engine.
Â
On the road, the Altima's handling is precise and predictable, offering good feedback from the steering system. That comfort extends to the interior of the vehicle thanks to the inclusion of standard NASA-inspired zero-gravity seats. These bucket seats are so cushy that you may not mind getting stuck in traffic since they conform to your body and provide a sense of weightlessness that keeps fatigue at bay. In the S trim, the interior features cloth upholstery, but leather seating is included on higher trims.
