2012 Nissan Altima 3.5 SR Start Up, Exhaust, and In Depth Tour

[0000WINDOWS]

it still amazing :)

[123chunhou]

No gauge sweep??? Most nissans these days have fast gauge sweeps

[peterabujaber]

Not the best in design but absolutely the best in reliability!

Maxima(s) is the best in both though...

[dephekt22]

papa roach<3

[moo101c]

Max ftw

[xcluenic]

I have a 2011 3.5sr sedan. Love my car and drives so smooth. It's great to have all those nice features such as V6, bluetooth, side airbags, and other amazing features. The Atlima is a great sedan.

[The787blaze]

Get the kia optima 2012,is better than all of them

[LordKevin92]

@The787blaze its Killed In Action, therefore ur argument is invalid.. although i do like the design

[enthralledbylight]

I have a 2008 with 57k on it and I love it! The car is dependable and is good on gas. I get compliments and it's a very user friendly vehicle

[bmwmsport11]

Look at the strings that release the read seats. I'm sure they're prone to rip right off one day.

[2004chevybrandon1]

my mom rented a 2011 nissan altima 2.5 s over the summer she loved it

[hammoudy1300]

dad traded off his '11 accord for this altima today :) i like it, really good vehicle

[datboidroc]

those lights look more like blue halogen to me, they damn sure isnt HID lights

[xcluenic]

@datboidroc yes! the 3.5SR Altimas have the HID headlights.

[datboidroc]

@xcluenic i have HID Xenon lights on my Maxima and these are blue Halogen lights, unless they make HID Halogen lights

[Stevenhiggles]

@datboidroc they are HID Xenon. You can tell a difference between regular and Xenon when they turn on. Im sure you know this. My 07 even came with them. 4600ks. Might get 6ks idk yet

[yootubeloobe]

This car is sooooo nice!

[playbob75]

классная тачка мммм:)

[fantana501]

This is a very well built machine.

[Dwizzie209]

really hope the 2010 or 2011 version could be my first car.

[Sooners4ever25]

Got a Nissan frontier right now and I plan on getting an Altima as my next car.

[InfamousPR]

I tested my brother's 2007 Altima V6 with 80k miles and rides great. No rattles at all, very solid and the interior plastics are of great quality, dash and doors have soft touch plastics. I dont understand why people r complaining about interior quality.

[chigasaki06]

@InfamousPR Nothing wrong with the quality, just a little dull design. Overall, I like this car and would buy one.

[ghygbbh]

5:38

Put me in drive!

I make you piss you self!

[deeselcyde]

I have a 2010 3.5sr and it is a great car. I have had it for 16 months and have put 29,000 miles on it. Not one single problem. I am very nitpicky about interior (rattles and such) and these have pretty poor interiors. Mine is fully loaded to the brim and every time I take it in for an oil change I have to get a rattle fixed, etc. The bose sound system is great and the car is fast as hell (coming from a ford ranger). Seems very reliable, should last a very long time!!!

[deeselcyde]

@deeselcyde If you are concerned about rattles I don't think that Nissan is right for you. Was it worth 30k with a 120,000 mile bumper to bumper, yes it was because I think it will last me 200,000 miles at least and it is an absolute blast to drive. Nissan should have used higher quality plastics, materials, etc in the interior. BTW, Nissan bends you over on the CVT maintenance flushes and such. Food for thought.

[boeing797screamliner]

So... is it true that the Altima has a noisy interior? 'Cause I've had a few experiences with some rentals that are base models and doesn't have any of the options, and they had the loudest interiors I have ever experienced. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

[DMTZ3]

@boeing797screamliner I have an 08, Its very quiet and smooth and there is absolutely no rattling; the interior plastics are very good quality as other people have already said. As for your rental experience, its a rental and people beat those cars up, so dont judge based on that. I also spun out at 140k causing me to jump over an island.3500 worth of damage. Now thats a good card. Its very stable, im surprised it didnt flip. I owe nissan my life.

[Stevenhiggles]

@DMTZ3 mine rattles but I also drive the 3.5 like its meant to be driven. 07 owner :) with power mods and a Nismo Spoiler. My rattling only comes from the Bose system. There is NO SOUND DEADENING in the car so stuff rattles like crazy. Also the drone from my custom Borla exhaust rattles my sun glasses in my holder case :P

[2100Awesome]

This comment may seem strange, but I get high on the smell of new Nissans. They're delicious!!

[khalidwilburn]

iThought The 2012 Has LED Tail-Lights !

[jakeroot2]

For an Altima, the start sound at 1:27 is awesome. Perfect noise.

[kellytamayo]

Why did Kyle said "No" at 8:29?

[ALR350Z]

@kellytamayo He was talking to the car, telling it he didn't want to connect a phone to it

[moakbik94]

do u have to put ur foot ont the brake...in order to start the car or what ?

[asghernaqvi]

@moakbik94 yeah you have to put your foot on the brake to start the car because of safety.

[0000WINDOWS]

i had this car for one year and still looks fresh for me and i totally love it ...

[InfamousPR]

Thinking about going with the Optima LX. After seeing this vid, probably will go with this car instead. In MD this car is 25 k with rebate.

[InfamousPR]

I like all of your car reviews, keep up the good work.

[NOZblast2]

Add a turbo charger and that thing will output 300+ HP

[musikmakerfan]

great vid, thanks.

[DaOldSchoolRapLova96]

thats a nice car man.

[ALR350Z]

The Altima received a facelift for the 2010 model year. I have a 2007 Altima 3.5 SE, which is the same thing as this car before the facelift.

Kyle, did you notice any shift delay? For example shifting from park into reverse or drive into reverse or reverse into drive ect... it takes an extra amount of time to shift. This is a known issue for the 2007-09 Altima's. It would take ~2 seconds to shift into gear. I'm curious to know if it was fixed for the 2010+ Altimas.

[shadowspork]

Bought an '09 Altima 2.5 S earlier this year. I love it!!

[LordKevin92]

i dont care if its CVT or manual or what.. its preference of the driver, end of the story... and CVTs arent that bad, i have a car with one and drives pretty smooth and i love the driving manner.. i ride on a regular automatic and i get pissed by all the jerking cuz of the shifting ¬¬ feels SO, 20th century. and those who dont like CVT there is an altima with 6-spd manual.. so dont complain...

my humble opinion :)

[shadowspork]

@LordKevin92

My sentiments exactly. The CVT was developed with fuel efficiency in mind, while maintaining power at a certain speed, thus creating a smooth ride, and comfort in mind.

[LordKevin92]

@shadowspork AMEN to that :) 

[robertompv3]

k makina mano

[littlemissga]

I got a really good feeling that this willbe my xmas gift

[datpimpinboy]

@littlemissga lucky mofo... lol

[jakeroot2]

I like the horn. Macho horns like this should be standard on all cars, IMO.

[NewEraMusic01]

Uhhhh....I want one! 

[Yrbboyken]

Im dropping 7,000 on this car and making payments for sure

[NorCaliBeast]

I want to own this car and have it be mine sooooo fucking baaad! FUUUUCK! I have an 02 altima 3.5 SE and i fuckin love it.

[starlite025]

This car is pretty bad-ass.

[jason123456789210]

they stole honda's chime!

[Godblesseveryone4]

Good review bro -

[pendragon2015]

Ugly car!

[Gtbomb1]

@pendragon2015 wait so you buy a car on looks?

[FIREALARM2009]

@Gtbomb1 i would buy it on build quality and looks at the same time

[2004chevybrandon1]

@Gtbomb1 i guess he does

[Jayswayz756]

@pendragon2015 & your an idiot! 

[happyxtonez]

@pendragon2015 uhmm.. 2015... so your a freshman... im assuming in highschool... you can't drive yet... why base a car off looks, and not interior or performance?

[7477238]

@happyxtonez Well these cars have no performance. The CVT bleeds whatever life these cars have. My Mom's Sentra is so bland as a car itself and the CVT makes it that much more boring. Nissan has a lot of balls to call their Maxima sport sedans with the CVT and FWD, there was a time when they were badass with the 6 speed manual.

[TheGonzalezvalle]

People plz not to be mean and all but like stop complying about the design Altimas are very good cars let it be

[ravan3606]

this is going to me my next cAR

[skittlemaster15]

hey can you do a test drive of these

[remelsheikh]

Even though Nissan needs to redesign the Altima, it still is one of the best sedans out there. Cant wait until the 2013 model comes out.

[cosbaraman]

isnt the accord better?!

[skittlemaster15]

@cosbaraman i really don't see a diff but i guess its just your opinion on wat u like more

[TheGonzalezvalle]

@cosbaraman Hell`s to the know Altima ARE BETTER!! there one of the best Sedans out there they last along time and are very cheap to fix to they are hardly any problems with this cars

[corvetkidable]

My bad.

[lasers33]

All the altimas look just alike 2007 and up,,they need to redesign it asap

[jsnevels2]

Dang he loves revving that Vq35de ! I would to ! haha

[EricDavidFloyd]

Kill the loser music/noise

[mrmrgudino]

that's dumb just to rev. the rpm like that dosen't prove the power of the car its just useless and stupid i think

[LordKevin92]

i like the altima :) but we dont have altima where i live :( we have a similar model named nissan teana(which is also nice) but i like the altima much better :D and as far as the tranny goes... whatever.. id just choose the one i prefer at the moment... i just like the quality and good engine and exhaust note of nissan vehicles :)

[7477238]

A great car ruined by the CVT transmission. Keep that transmission in compact cars, this car needs a regular 6 speed auto.

[benchod94]

@7477238 I agree totally I lost alot of respect for Nissan when they went mainstream with the CVT

[jopetsumcad]

very little has been changed from 2005 version. The Altima SE-R is actaully better

[45barber1]

Do 11 or 12 maxima fully ( or well ) equipped plzz

[toyota4runner1000]

its suppost to be two beep indicates unlock and one for lock

[ladyyuna2000]

a beautiful looking Nissan Altima 3.5 SR and Iove the color. ^_^

[fallentear9711]

do you need to have the remote with you when your near the car or can you just press it without having the remote because that's a little dangerous

[1970jeffreyg]

@fallentear9711 The remote must be on you.  It even knows if the remote is on the front seat as you cannot lock yourself out. I have the white 3.5sr exactly the same as this video.

[remelsheikh]

Im a big fan of nissan, but I dont know why they didn't completely redesign the atima for 2012. Its been around since 2007 and they made some changes on the 2010 models. Little disappointing.

[datpimpinboy]

@remelsheikh because altimas have a 5 year life cycle. 2002-2007, 2007-2012. A redesign should be comming soon.

[benchod94]

@datpimpinboy actually 3rd gen is 02-06 not 02-07 which makes it five years in which case there should have been a new altima for 2012 but the altimas dont have a 5 yr life cycle because the 2nd gen only lasted 4 years as well

[datpimpinboy]

@benchod94 yea thats true, i didnt catch that. well i just hope Nissan releases a redisgn soon

[benchod94]

@datpimpinboy me too

[Betterhalf333]

what's the point in using the button on the keyless remote, when u have buttons on the door to unlock it?

[MrWoodyissoawesome]

@Betterhalf333 but u need the key on your body to unlock it

[datpimpinboy]

@Betterhalf333 if you want to unluck the car from far.

[Uberponage89]

Love the car and you have nice taste in music. lol

[whosGage]

does it come with 9 speakers like the maxima ?

[InfamousPR]

Love the blonde interior. Black interior looks cool also, though I prefer light colors inside.

[InfamousPR]

I love this car. Has been around since 2007 and still is one of the best looking midsize cars on the road.

[PETZ95]

Wait, the button on the side of the door doesn't work if the key isn't within a certain radius of the car correct?

[aquateenI16]

@PETZ95 yep, you have to be next to it with the key for it to work. I think it's within 6 inches.

[neermeer]

this is one of the most useful review I've ever seen on youtube....nice work, but if you could do the Z and the GTR, that will be great!!

[jjchargerboy16]

The Altima was designed based on the 6 generation Maxima's.

[nckwrn]

GT-R?

[DumpFantasy]

Do a maxima plz

[walkthepark]

UGH SAME DESIGN?

[david8566i]

To me in my own personal opinion, the Kia Optima SX Turbo seems like a better value and looks better on the streets. This car has gotten boring.

[kwk59]

Cool I just bought the same car in black, though I have only put 500 miles on it , so far it's great. Love all the features! I really can't compare it to my other vehicle I usually drive (2000 Suburban) because they're not in the same league, but the seats are a lot more comfortable and the engine blows away the chevy 8 cylinder.....Great engineering, great price, great car and great dealer experience. I maybe back for another.....

[ssweetener]

the 3.5 sound gets better and better as you drive it. I manage to get about 450 miles per tank

[Mindyxo]

WHITE AND BLONDE LEATHER INTERIOR. VERY DISAPPOINTING. I WANTED WHITE ON BLACK.

[monkeyxpwner]

i like nissan. they seem to give you a lot for your money. i also love the way the cars look. great video!

[laquanallday]

on a full tank of gas how many miles do yu get?? nd this is a nice car

[Nikola002052421]

Hey Kyle, please do a review on the gtr... That would be amazing! I'd like to have a closer look at the computers and interface

[Bebyko2008]

7:56 what's the song?!?!?!?! great job Kyle.

[aquateenI16]

@Bebyko2008 papa roach - Last Resort.

[immortal4942]

man they still have the CVT transmission, sux

[PunjabiMunda725]

what's new in the '12 model?

[ScoobyBaseball]

@austinman1995 Cool! Congrats.

[NurNordschleife]

+1 on the 2011 Toyota Camry se V6

[NurNordschleife]

and maybe the Honda Accord V6

[6824096]

How about doing a review of a 2011 Toyota Camry se V6 and a GMC Acadia denali.

[tiedyebohnert]

hey kyle can you do some more out back vids beacuse taht used to be my favroite vids of your thank you sincerly a big fan

[gmman010983]

is that black smoke at 137???

[1970jeffreyg]

@gmman010983 Yes....the guy is racing the engine with no load. The rings have not been seated. An engine should have a load and at at least 3/4 throttle to wear the rings to the exact shape of the cylinder. The spring tension of the rings are not strong enough to wear into the walls. The combustion process spreads the rings and creates the seal wearing down the original honing marks for a perfect fit. Do not baby the enging as per most manuals! Do vary the rpm's, and stay away from redline.

[dillon851727]

the only way to go with any altima sedan is the rear decklid spoiler option, a nice touch to the vehicle

[khunt2011]

This looks way better than a Hyundai Sonata, to me .

[keviiinn]

I thought Altimas had projector HIDs as an option? HID reflectors? wow

[chinching812]

It will look a lot better with HID projector headlamps.

[jason123456789210]

CVT has no gears, but still shifts. how many speeds?

[gking1990]

nice car

[MercedesF700]

Hey Kyle do think you could do a review of a 370Z 6 speed?

[streesmut70]

Huh? 2012MY LOL

[jugghead82]

DAAAAAMMMNNNN!!!!! that shit with the phone was fuckin amazing awesome vid

[lowapuk]

nice altima )

[boomdigitydavid]

DO A NISSAN CUBE!

[bobzzz23]

@boomdigitydavid already has

[jason123456789210]

@boomdigitydavid he did one in 2010

[humisaposer]

SABAKYLE WILL YOU HAVE MY KID

[gmancarini1]

all i can say is F$%K i want that car!

[suprahmed]

too common...

[BigG01234]

@suprahmed Ikr! But thats because it is a really good car, and it's prolly reliable.

[datpimpinboy]

@suprahmed what do you expect its a fucking family sedan... not a ferrari.

[ladyyuna2000]

That 2012 Nissan Altima 3.5 SR is gorgeous.

[NissanTy]

if i needed a family 4 door on a budget, this would be it, of course with the vq35 only :)

[vinehanger]

This car uses the same 3.5 VQ35DE engine of the G35 but it's mated to a CVT transmission. WHYYYYYYYYYY?!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's like wearing a 5,000 prada suit with beach sandles .. why would someone pay the gas expense of a thirsty 3.5L engine when it's got a CVT to ruin all performance!

[stefann1989v2]

i swear to god that i'm waiting for the day when you are going to say "complicated to use climate controls".

[asgher786]

@stefann1989v2 shut up dude

[stefann1989v2]

@asgher786 it was a joke.

[lrossi888]

@stefann1989v2 What's complicated about it? =s

[RetroGamerVX]

Nice to see these modern nissans as they don't sell these in the Uk market, I suppose they can't go up against Merc/BMW, because large, none executive cars don't sell that well over here these days :o( Not bad, although I think that how the dash falls backwards half way down makes it look cheap :o(

Oooh, that's a throaty exhaust :o)

[204pippen]

when you push the button on the door does it unlock all the doors or just that one? great vid as always :-)

[jerrry13157]

@204pippen push it once it unlocks just the driver door, push it again and it opens the other 3

[TheGeek1028]

[dave11686]

Not a bad looking car! Great vid as always Kyle!

i prefer to have a projector headlight but that lol nice video though!

[raptor750r]

damn CVT sucks...

[TheCanadian316]

Those tail lights are so ugly!

[JAPANTUNER100]

the trim name SR reminds me of the AE85 SR

[wagerman55]

U CANT A FOR THE LEATHER SEATS
