it's newer and 07 altima comes out soon. also, gotta love hyundai's warranty and i love the fact that there aren't many of them on the road yet. altima is a very nice car, but you can get a sonata v6 for about 5k less. and sonata is as good as altima in every catagory IMO.

Replying to: acuraking_27 (Jul 01, 2006 10:35 pm) 1> Only Sentra and Altima models equipped with 2.5L 4-cyl motors are involved in the sales halt. Sales of 3.5L V6 Nissan models have NOT been halted. 2> Some 2.5L 4-cyl motors are subject to excessive oil consumption due to faulty oil control piston ring sets provided by one of Nissan's suppliers. When owner neglect resulted in near total loss of oil volume, there were substantiated reports of severe overheating which led to several underhood fires. 3> Nissan has initiated a voluntary recall to replace 2.5L 4-cyl motors that consume oil in excess of 1 qt. per 1,000 miles. In the meantime 2.5L 4-cyl. owners have been instructed to check their engine's oil level at least every 700 miles and report to their dealers if excessive consumption occurs. In those cases in which oil level is excessive, but less than 1 quart/1,000 miles, those engines will be repaired with new piston rings. While Nissan bears responsibility for the affected engines (and is pro-actively engaged in resolving the problem), owners who dismiss any personal responsibility in periodically glancing at the engine coolant temperature gauge, and checking or having checked something as basic as oil level because, "It's a new car - it shouldn't have to have its oil checked." are clearly candidates for an appearance on "Dr. Phil ", themselves.

I sure hope you didn't get your info from the internet.... And i sure hope you own an 03-06 Altima telling me i'm wrong! By the way, the models recalled which were listed in the recall notice we received were: 2003-2006 2.5 Altimas 2005-2006 3.5 Altimas 2005-2006 SE-R Altimas 2003-2006 SE-R Sentras (2.5) |

Maybe you're right, maybe not.  Anyone else monitoring this discussion have a 3.5L V6 Altima that's subject to the recall over excessive oil consumption and fire danger?
