This week on Regular Car Reviews, we drive one of the worst cars ever featured on RCR, the 2022 Nissan Altima! What is Big Altima Energy? Why are Nissan Altima drivers the worst? What is it about the Nissan Altima that makes it such a legendarily bad car? Join us for a test drive and an all-time critique, as Regular Car Reviews takes on the 2022 Nissan Altima.

My Altima accident experience was a couple years back when a woman in one rear ended me, she hit me hard enough she was not able to flee in the car. She had to opt for the flee on foot route. She successfully dodged a truck only a few steps later to run directly into the path of a guy on a bicycle. This new accident she caused ended up breaking her leg and one of his arms. And I kid you not when the first officer arrived his first words to her were " YOU AGAIN?! "

How did you find an altima that doesn’t have 20 fender dents in it?

Nothing is scarier than driving on I-85 through Atlanta and finding yourself surrounded by Nissan Altimas on every side half of which have have body panels flapping in the wind or a bumper hanging by a single zip tie.

Nissan Altima: the car that reminds you that its way too easy to get a driver's license in the US

The Kunkelman group would never sell a poor quality vehicle such as this.

My mother got two altimas against my advice. Transmission died in both. She hit a deer in the second one as well. The way you describe Altima drivers is shockingly accurate from my experience living with my mother. Scary almost.

i definitely had a few near death experiences in my friend's altima. he eventually replaced it with a prius and his driving became much safer almost instantly

A year ago this month, I worked at a car dealership and was learning the ropes with a coworker of mine. We were taking an Altima to a customer about 35 miles away. This guy drove a Nissan Versa note and seemed pretty chill, we even joked about Altima drivers. And the car possessed him. He started going 90 on the 405 and tried weaving through traffic. The Altima is otherworldly.

Worst car accident I've ever seen was a white Altima zipping across the 405 from the carpool lane to make an exit, pit maneuvered themselves on a Prius, spun across all the lanes and slammed into the median. They contemplated life for about 10 seconds, then sped off full throttle down the freeway with wheels pointing all different directions in a blue cloud of oil smoke.

Mr Regular holding the mic like a gun basically interrogating the owner.

[ImnotgoingSideways]

I rented one of those. The first thing I remember was wondering if it had a CVT or an auto. Then still wondering the next day.
I literally just told my partner, "Remember that car I rented that I had nothing nice to say about? Well, this guy just did a review and is nailing every point."
Nissan Altima: The car you rent for two weeks at the airport and STILL regret the purchase.

I didn't realize they made an Altima like this. I thought they came from the factory with an arrest warrant in the driver's name, off color fenders, stuck blasting shitty rap music

[droma]

kind of a relief knowing I'm not the only one stereotyping nissan drivers

From Brian's constant grilling you can see the moment when the owner realises what they'd done.

I came to this video because I had an Altima bingo today at work. This god tier Altima came through the air check, and it checked all the boxes. They are as follows:
- front bumper held on by duct tape
- broken taillight
- interior that smelled like weed and fast food grease
- wheel that was missing at least one lug nut
- bald tires, but all 4 were different levels of bald.
- an engine that smelled like it was burning oil
- 3 dashboard warning lights

I like how the owner was chill about all of this. He knows what he's driving and he's cool with it. The real power move is knowing the car you like has a stereotype, then shrugging and not giving a shit about it <3

[adamesp]

I respect the owner because in his own words “I like em a lot”: thats enough for me

Nissan Altima: the official car of “everybody stand back, I’m a certified nursing assistant” when someone collapses at Walmart

[narebman]

If someone went to a Honda dealership and sat in an accord, then called someone and tried to describe it over the phone, the Nissan Altima is what you’d get

[moistbrain]

It's been so long since we had a car to genuinely shit on for rcr
