Looking for a like-new auto at a used price but not willing to make compromises? Believe it or not, that demand doesn’t stump us at all. Let us introduce you to a vehicle that “The Fast Lane Car†absolutely digs—the amazingly capable 2016 Nissan Altima 3.5 SR. It will profoundly impress as a function of its engineering and spaciousness.
This sedan can really hustle. You’ll be flying up and down the streets of Renton, Bellevueand Seattle, all thanks to the potent 3.5L V6 engine the 2016 Altima is equipped with. It generates 270 horses at 6,400 revolutions per minute (RPM) and 251-lb.-ft. of torque at 4,000 RPM. This represents an increase of nearly 90 HP and 75-lb.-ft. over the SL model.
Oh, and don’t fret if you need to pack up for a big trip or if you’re planning on having multiple passengers join you. Sure, a sedan is never going to match a truck or a large SUV, but the Altima is surprisingly roomy. There are a class-competitive 15.4 cubic feet of trunk space available at all times. Additionally, the 109.3-inch wheelbase yields an overall total of 102 cubic feet of passenger volume.
