Bought my wife an 03 Altima

Got a great deal on the car. Here's the color we ordered. I know it's not an Acura, but hell now I can put my car back in the garage, inherit her Integra for commuting, and she gets a new car. Not a bad deal

It's called Sonoma Sunset. Oh yeah, Zaino is coming don't you worry.

Zaino can't help that paint. It's thinner than the CL's.

Thanks, much appreciated. You move outta your parent's basement yet? Big balla test driving cars you'll never own.

I like the styling of the car. I think it's a hell of a value for around $20K.

2.5S auto. The 4 has nice power. It's no TL, but it'll do.

Got pretty much everything but the sunroof...they didn't have one in the color we wanted, so no biggie.

Did not test drive the Accord. Really set of the Altima. For the money, it was a hell of a deal. Picking it up tonight. Can't wait. Told my wife it is staying put in the garage till I can arrange for the clear bra to be put on.

I dunno about ya'll but this car hasn't come close to winning any comparison. And this is the V-6 car. I think it is nice and yes, it does look more stylish than the Accord and Camry (with the IS 300 lights and GS profile, what a coincidence) but I would have gotten something else. I am a quality and interior junkie I guess.

the way the cars are graded in comparison tests is very subjective. they may give points to one car for the very same reason some one else would subtract points. I'll use those articles as a reference, but I make my own decisions on what to buy.

Altima and Mazda 6.

With no offense intended against my Nissan brethren, I'd get the Mazda 6s 5speed over the Altima any day. Outside of straightline performance, the 6s totally outperforms the Alt. Now if Mazda would just produce and import that Mazda 6 turbo over from Europe...

Peace.
