I never would of bought this car knowin thats all it gets......should of got another v6 altima like we had....it was getting 27!!!! and would run circles around this thing...........or at least got the camry v6.....I dont mind losing some performance for gas mileage.....but this is lousy in my opinion.....car is a turd, no power. Time for trade in I guess

not so much panicking...just very disapointed.....owned a ton of cars..I sell them 
.......never saw such a swing in mpg....between highway and town......36 to 24?.....we never took the altima on a trip so im not sure what it would got with the v6,....26 27 with here running to work.....cant believe this much lighter car with a 4 banger at 24 25. very disapointing....like I mentioned...the altima was such a nicer car to drive,..less road noise, lot more goodies...and just fun. I sacrificed all that for the camry.....right after we bought it...we went on that trip I mentioned and got that 36 so I was satisfied with that for sure.......we have some impalas here that are supposedly getting high 20's 30 ish mpg....defin not as good of car as a toy or niss....but I can get one alot cheaper.....might even look into that ....thanks for the responses....just wanted to see if I had a lemon.

I heard that its better to have a bigger engine and smaller car then
smaller engine big car.
The reason is smaller engines rev up real high or work much harder to move a bigger car.
Next time you drive on the freeway look at your rpm at 65-70 miles per hr..
on a v6 camry its around 2,300 rpms or less
...What do you think?????????
