The ‘perfect’ car has undeniably been a holy grail for manufacturers since automobiles were first created. The consumer rightfully wants something that can do it all; from economy and power to safety and handling, the best performers are those that rise to any occasion. Well, with the 2015 Nissan Altima it appears that vehicle might have finally arrived.Â
At a whopping combined mpg of 31, the Altima is a class leader in fuel economy— and impromptu family road trips by extension. Not only is this ride easy on the environment (and your wallet), but the engine is able to clock 60 mph in less than 8 seconds. If that’s not the best of both worlds, we don’t know what is.
Having been awarded an IIHS Top Safety Pick in 2015, the Altima possesses chart-topping crash scores that have withstood the test of time— including top ratings in roof strength, head restraints/seats, and moderate overlap tests. What’s more, the nearly noiseless drive is responsive and immediate, with its fine-tuned suspension and precise handling ensuring that you’ll never even find out how accident-resistant this sedan is.
