Yes- the Altima and Maxima are two of the best cars built in the world.

They also get great fuel economy:

Nissans are great cars, i have one and never had any problems, even in subzero temperatures it starts on the first go, although the a/c takes 13% feul if u are travelling under 70km/ph so be carefull of that, I reccommend you get one. Good strong car.
