Second is the braking system in my opinion is WAY to sensative. I perfere brakes you can tap to slow down and hit to the floor if you need to stop fast but in their altima even the slightest tap of the brakes jerks you to a stop pretty bad. If your a driver who like to fly to the light and slam on the brakes it's an awesome system, but not really my best feeling.

On another note what about the sentra? Those are nice looking sharp cars as well and I believe they get better gas mileage, not 100% sure though. A bit smaller overall size wise then the altima, but somehow tey have more inside room and head room then the altima.
I'm 6'4 and gotta say the 06 Altima has the most head a leg room of any car I've seen. I can fully strech out my legs in the front passenger seat. Driver seat is just as comfortable. Brakes are touchy compared to the Fronty.

I attempted to test drive a Toyota Scion TC. I couldn't turn my head to the left without hitting the roof pillar.
