On this Christmas Eve, maybe you’ve got a fresh New Year’s resolution rattling around in your head—putting a shiny vehicle in your garage. If so, “Car Confections†believes you should consider the 2017 Nissan Altima 3.5 SR. It’s a sedan with great performance and superlative safety.



The engine that comes standard on the Altima 3.5 SR will take you everywhere you want to go in a spirited fashion. Acceleration is ample and immediate thanks to the superlative 3.5L V6, which generates 270 horses and 251-lb.-ft. of torque. And you won’t have to make a ton of pit stops as you travel outside of Seattle, Renton, and Bellevue, either. The EPA surmises that it will receive an average of 32 MPG on the highway and 22 in the city.
Safety is well accounted for with the 2017 Altima 3.5 SR, too. The IIHS is mighty pleased with the effort put forth by the Nissan braintrust. In their tests, the sedan garnered perfect scores in the following categories: Roof Strength, Driver-side, Passenger-side, Head Restraints & Seats, Side, and Moderate Overlap Front. Essentially, no matter where an impact might occur on your vehicle, this car is built to cope with it effectively thanks to a bevy of front/rear head airbags and a strong selection of side-curtain inflatables throughout. You'll be protected even in rollover situations!
