I see the Altima as a true power player against the Accord and Camry for the first time. I checked one out at my local Nissan dealer (didn't drive it, but sat inside and touched everything).
The engine and drivetrain is already strong, but the thing that was always the knock against the Altima was the interior design. Well, let me tell you..... they fixed it. And in a big way. The interior is very, very nice. High quality materials. Great looking instrument cluster. And keyless ignition is standard on all models.
I'd say it the most significant model for '07.
True, and Camry wins MT's Car of the Year? The Camry is an okay car but I like the Altima. The Altima has good pricing and I would buy it because of the keyless ignition. Camry should have it at least optional instead of offered in XLE V6 or Hybrid.
Honda Fit is a class leading car. It is very roomy, offers a great engine combined with good pricing, good MPG. Its no wonder why it sells so well. The Honda Fit offers high quality features and features we see on premium cars.
The only problem with the Yaris is the center mount gauge and quality of the interior. It would be a winner if it had better quality and standard allow wheels, airbags, abs and a lower price.
Nissan Versa is a good alternative, but Honda Fit looks nicer.
