The 2012 Nissan Altima 2.5 S — Cosmetically? Well… let’s just say she’s got “character.” A few bumps, scratches, and battle scars along the way, but honestly, haven’t we all?

An estimated 8.5 L/100km city and 6.2 L/100km highway fuel efficiency. Inside, premium cloth seating includes 8-way manual driver seat with adjustable lumbar, 4-way manual passenger seat, air conditioning, and AM/FM/CD audio system with auxiliary input jack and 6 speakers. Standard safety features include six airbags, Vehicle Dynamic Control with traction control, Anti-lock Braking System with electronic brake force distribution, and Tire Pressure Monitoring System. Additional features include power windows with driver one-touch auto-down, power door locks with remote keyless entry, cruise control, 60/40 split-folding rear seats!

This is the perfect “I just need a reliable car” car. The kind of ride you don’t panic about parking at the grocery store or surviving a Kingston snowstorm in. She may not win a beauty pageant, but she’ll keep showing up every morning ready for work.
