Me too! Had the Nissan Sentra then the Altima.
Nissans are fantastic. Only turned it in because I had kids and needed an SUV.
I miss that car!
We spent a lot of time (SAFELY) on the beltway! I always used my directionals, licensed and insured with a real plate! Mine was silver.

Strange question

Also, when you get in a car accident with an Altima the driver typically has paper license plates, no drivers license, and zero insurance.

This EXACT scenario happened to our daughter. She got t-boned at an intersection by an Altima driver who ran a red light that had been red for like 40 seconds.

Altima. Check.
Suspended license. Check.
Paper tags. Check.
No insurance. Check.


The type of people who drive on suspended licenses with fake paper tags and have no insurance, are drawn to Altimas.

Nothing wrong with the cars. The problem is many of the people who are drawn to these two models.

What is the rap on Altima drivers?

They are mostly “Maryland drivers”, as DCUM defines Maryland drivers.

Traffic comes from Virginia. And that mess of toll roads yall have doesn’t help

I have owned a lot of cars, but never a Nissan. In fact, when I car shop, I never even look at Nissans. I guess we are a Toyota, Honda, and Subaru family. Those brands have served us well- Toyotas being the best of the bunch.

As for Altimas, I have seen the memes, but didn’t really get it. I don’t think Altimas are bad looking cars.

Maybe people just do not like Nissans in general…?

Nissans used to be up there with Hondas + Toyotas for their product reliability, etc. but I think over time their solid reputation has waned (possibly w/their transmission issues.)

Most people driving on 395/495 will see an unusual number of insane maneuvers by Altima drivers (triple lane changes, suddenly crossing two lanes to exit @ 100 mph, etc). You just usually forget because of the lime green Charger that keeps tailgating you.

Also, when you get in a car accident with an Altima the driver typically has paper license plates, no drivers license, and zero insurance.

it was my first real car and it was so reliable and comfortable. I have never heard of people hating them.

My first car was a used Altima, I was probably a s*** driver back then. Haha

Nissan cars are junks.

Because Nissan doesn't bother trying to produce good cars. Their business plan is to sell mediocre cars to people with terrible credit or negative equity in their current car. There is a joke about the Altima's best selling price being the amount of storage space for negative equity.

I have seen this as a meme on social media so it is not limited to this area. A lot of criminals seem to drive them apparently
