2020 Nissan Altima on road

How Does the 2020 Nissan Altima Handle?

It’s not often that you see someone buy a car on a whim. They represent a significant investment of time and money, so most people are very particular with their choice in cars. The perfect car should fit as many of your needs as possible. One of the biggest things the perfect car should do is feel fun to drive.

A car that doesn’t feel fun to drive is going to have a hard time capturing anyone’s attention. It might have a good fuel economy or some nice features, but if putting your foot on the gas feels bland, then you’re likely to look elsewhere. A good driving experience starts with the engine, and the 2020 Nissan Altima has one of the smoothest engines on the market.
