Rants about our new 05 Altima

[Ty SE-R_92B13]

Power seats suck without a memory option.-My wife and I are different sizes and sit with the driver’s seat at different positions. It is a PITA to have to try and get all 8-ways of that seat adjusted just right after it's been moved. Our 2001 Quest SE had 2 memory positions that could even be coded into each FOB. I want that in this Altima!

Where the hell are all of the manual lock cylinders at?-There's only one, on the drivers door. Want to open the passenger door or the trunk from outside the car without the FOB? Forget it, there’s no key cylinder there. I don't carry the FOB on my key ring, too bulky. But I thought I was going to be a nice guy the other night and open the passenger door for my wife to get in the car. I was embarrassed to learn only then that there's no way for me to unlock it from that side. I know, Nissan, I know... economies of scale and you saved millions by assembling these cars without two extra lock cylinders. But damn that was embarrassing!

Anyway, that's it. The rest of this car absolutely rocks! I can't remember having a sedan this big that handled this well and took off this quick. Awesome job!

That sucks about both those "flaws" I wish my cougar had memory seats, but I'm th eonly one who drives it.

I thought about the seat memory...but I didn't really care that much because I will be the only one driving the car. I bought the 2005 Altima 2.5SL, and love everything about it. I even got the satelilite radio option.

Other than having big hands and trying to replace the headlight bulbs on the Altima, I have little to no rants about the car. For what I paid for the car, it has been a pretty good car. It is the only car I like to take on long trips and has plenty of room in the car. bud

I use the key fob to death and have grone to love them. I like to role the windows dow as I am walkin toward the car in the sprin/summer/fall By holding down the unlock button. It really freaks people out.

The seats are slow to move. Lucky for me my wife and I are close to the same size except I'm a bit taller so I have to scoot it back, but thats it just back a bit and I'm good to go.

I have to agree 110% with Bud. For what I paid for the car it has been awesome. Heck if it wasn't for my Altima I most likely wouldn't have my 350z.
