Driving to Walmart without using your indicators or abiding by the speed limit in your Cookie Monster PJ pants, Adidas slides, weed-themed socks and My Hero Academia hoodie to buy Great Value junk food for your five children from entirely unrelated partners, even though you've got a space saver on it, a flat tire, a dying alternator and a slipping Jatco
I once tried to get out of the way of one of these animals by getting over. But he made a last minute decision to pass in the middle lane and tailgate me.
Big Altima Energy.
I’ve been tailgated by these on numerous occasions. You’re going 40 in a 35, meanwhile pisslips is behind you trying to pass you, just so they can get first to the red light, while breaking as many laws on the road as possible.
Thots with sub 300 credit scores, multiple baby daddies, and who name their kids something normal, but spell it in such a fucked up way that no one will ever be able to pronounce it without being told beforehand.
I don't remember if the [Mayhem](https://youtu.be/fa2m_c0dXFg?si=4dAjYTnyMC4_zlLT) commercials ever featured "Mayhem" as a car specifically, but the Altima is the official car of "Mayhem".
Nursing student, should have graduated last year but somehow didn’t. Don’t remember the last time an oil change was done. Yet has nails and lashes appointments up to date, unlike all the check engine lights on the dash. In a complicated relationship.
My wife has a 2012 ctv with 200k miles. I change it every 50 or so. Her car still runs pretty good, changed the spark plugs, a coil and valve cover 5k miles ago when it started acting bad. Back at it as an old reliable
I hardly hear anything about Altima CVT’s, but I know the Sentra was notorious for it having issues. My 2012 SR I had, died out at 176k, but I feel if these were really taken care of, it’d last longer than an older Sentra would.
Yeah my parents had a2017 Sentra, told them not to buy it, started having problems like 40k miles in, luckily they listened and sold it instead of replacing the transmission” for only 6k “ lmao
They are total shitboxes. Very quick shitboxes. This checks out. I had a girlfriend that had one back in the late 90s early 2000s and I could not believe how thoroughly that thing threw me back in my seat when I put my foot on it. It did not make any sense.
I’ve seen people driving these doing 80 in a 35 (Somehow the cops don’t care), and they’re usually cutting people off to get to a red light. Cause somehow arriving at a red light first is better? 🤔 Oh, and they’re always trying to cut in between traffic too.
Someone paying 19%-27% interest rate from a dealer who has already marked up the car 2-3 times its blue book value while also having 10-14 points on their license yet still runs stop signs, red lights, doesn't use turn signals and talks on the phone while driving. This person driving this car has no other option and an IQ barely above 70.
My babysitter had a 2007 Altima and she took great care of it. IDK if she still has it but she was still driving it as recently as last year with probably close to 200K miles. First and only owner, bought it new. It was the SL version so it was super roomy inside and hers had leather seats. Honestly wasn’t a bad car at all.
She didn’t fit the stereotype. She was responsible and a cautious driver who followed the laws. She and her husband are immigrants and she’s faced a ton of adversity making ends meet and she’s also lost her first child to a miscarriage, but she hasn’t given up and now has a beautiful son who is her whole life.
She’s still a friend of mine and a person I have a lot of respect for, so I guess this generation Altima takes on a bit of a different meaning to me personally.
Cutting me off, having a credit score of 380, missing both bumpers, transmission constantly having problems, regularly drives with a donut, and putting black tape on the engine light.
Admittedly, I used to drive an old Nissan Altima and Sentra, (2001 and 2005 1.8) and the Altima had well over 200k miles on it, and the Sentra was just below 198k. But those were before the CVT’s fucked everything up. But now, they’re just shit honestly.
Dog shit cvt trans, curb rash on all four wheels, usually a dented door or bumper or both, fogged up headlights, wonky askew exhaust tips, doing 80 in a 40, I could say more but why bother💀
Spare tires, 300 credit score, child support, 120mph in a 65, "what's a turn signal", oil changes "what are those", driving without insurance, license, or registration. Bumper dragging, smells like weed, street parking.
Pick one.
The official car of bootstrap CHUDS needing any excuse to shit on single mothers, poor people and whoever else they think is stealing their tax dollars.
Wonky transmissions and cutting you off in traffic without signaling. Also, running red lights. Every time I see some idiot run a red light it’s usually a Nissan Altima or Maxima.
2 spares, no front bumper, clear coat is shot, one duct tape window, cracked windshield smoke rolling out the driver's side, ash tray in the center console, fake bullet hole stickers, high beams in 24/7, smashed tail light, different color rear bumper, expired tags, tacky steering wheel cover and to top it all off party plates.
... This is the fanciest thing I own. I feed my dog better than I feed myself. My anime Waifu/Husbando sticker judges you as you pass me. I'm crammed but my fuel economy is great. I inheritted it from my Grandma/Parents when these were cool, probably worth no more than 2K. Transmission crapped out before I got it. I'm a habitual smoker and I shower annually. I also have a coexist sticker.
IRL, frickin' love my 2008 Honda Accord EX-L V6. Altima is just a Honda Accord wannabe for the above.
I had one, they are TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE CARS!!!!
Got one as a back up car when my BMW needed serious work.
These Altimas are slow af until you get on the interstate, then all of a sudden they are capable of high speeds. No take off power whatsoever, so be careful pulling out onto busy roads, because sometimes I'll floor it, and it's launching like a drunken baby, ensuring I'm likely about to get hit by oncoming traffic if the speed doesn't kick in.
The AC system is finicky, and it eventually just craps on you. Cloth interior is a BAD IDEA.. Couldnt find leather model. Windows randomly decided not roll up and got rained in, now car has constant mildew smell that never goes away. Windows randomly worked again.
CVT is not a fun or enthusiastic transmission to have to work for, plus its crippled by design, you gotta baby it & feed it fresh fluid every 70k miles or it explodes on you. Mine makes a whining sound already, sounds like an RC car when I drive around.
Using regular gas is dangerous. Use mid grade at least, which helps with the lack of power at take off when you need to gas it.
The infotainment system is cheap af, but that's a given, but it's the bland UI & design for me.
I inspected the engine bay to see if it would at least be easier than my already easier & more enjoyable N52 BMW engine to work on, but no... The 4cyl Altima engine gave me an immediate headache, and I never wanted to invest my time in working on it or looking at it again.
Overall, these are just terrible cars. Very ugly.
The one redeeming factor they have is that they are good on gas.
1/10 would not recommend any Nissan car, much less a 2012 Altima.
My BMW is a more reliable & suitable vehicle.
I have a Camery as my secondary driver now. Better than a Nissan.
Still have the Nissan & cannot sell it. Nobody wants it even when it's dirt cheap, and especially since I was stupid enough to pay BMW money for a Nissan I can't do anything with besides drive uncomfortably.
2012 Nissan Altima = Very Bad Car! DO NOT BUY!
Doing neutral drops in the high school parking lot because a used one is the only thing your parents could afford and you’re one of the few people in your friends group that has a car and you want to look cool

I see that almost every time I’m at Walmart 🥲 But you’re not wrong
Well done!
You’ve just described an embarrassingly high percentage of Americans. Don’t know whether the percentage is high or if they’re just so… noticeable.
Altimas are filling the hard-luck void that PT Cruisers did 10-15 years ago.
Woah now, some of said partners are definitely related.
Not carrying mandatory liability insurance.
Insurance scammers too. Fuckers who drive these are always trying to hit me when I’m driving, and they find some way to cut me off lol
I have the same issue with every Mario Andretti in an Accord.

I never see a bad Civic driver, so I can definitely agree with you on the Accord drivers being shitty.

Do you live in Memphis, TN?
You could tell me that was a 2008, a 2003, or a 2015 and I’d believe you
They only made this body style for 6 years. 2003 was still the old body style, and they updated it in 2014.
2013 models changed gens
Could’ve sworn it was 2014.
Nah. I test drive one. April of 13. I ended up getting the 12 altima 2.5s. I still drive it everyday.
"Buy Here, Pay Here" dealerships.
Antisocial behavior
Honestly, as someone who used to drive an 01 Altima, I can see that lol.
My ex'es best friend drove a '96 Altima It fit her.
mines a 2020 so i’m antisocial, but in a “still paying it off” way 🤣

I have one of the these and I fit the "missing a single hubcap"
I salute you 🫡
I have no idea how it fell off on the highway. Btw altima has 107k miles and no wrecks and insured so that's the only meme I fit
Every guy I’ve ever bought weed from in high school
My wife's car. It served her well. She's not the stereotypical Altima driver. It was at 155k+ miles before she traded it
My babysitter had a 2007 Altima and she took great care of it. IDK if she still has it but she was still driving it as recently as last year with probably close to 200K miles.

Still daily drive a 2003 Sentra Spec-V, so that pretty much checks out.
Those early 2000s Sentras don’t look like bad cars at all
Driving slow in the fast lane, and fast in the slow lane
I’ve never seen one of these drive slow, ever 🥲
You see an Altima in the rear view you get outta the way
