KEY POINTS ABOUT THIS Altima
The Nissan Altima has been a favorite midsize sedan for decades and even though this is one of the older models, it still has a lot to offer.Powered by a 2.5L 4-cyl. engine and a CVT automatic transmission, it offers up to 175 HP and a very respectful 31 MPG on the highway as rated by the EPA.
While the Radiant Silver Metallic does show some aging, it is free from damage as a result of accidents or misuse.
All four tires have been inspected for safety and found to be roadworthy for normal driving.
The interior features cloth seats with the color called Charcoal. This dark gray to black hue also has only normal wear, but less than one would see in a vehicle of a similar model year.
The S-trim was the most popular trim in the 2008 lineup and while no factory options were noted, it does have full power accessories, keyless entry & starting, plus added A/C, a trip computer and intermittent wipers.
Highlights to some of additional features include:
Convenience
- Cruise control maintains a preset vehicle speed; automatically increasing or decreasing throttle to maintain that speed.
- A proximity key with keyless entry and push button start allows the driver to unlock the vehicle by approaching it and/or touching the door handle. A keyfob or keycard carried by the driver identifies the person to the vehicle. The driver is then able to start the engine by twisting the ignition switch, pressing a button, or touching a select portion of the vehicle's interior.
