I've owned my Nissan Altima for 5 years now and overall maintenance costs have been relatively low, averaging around $300-$400 per year including oil changes, tire rotations, and basic repairs. However, I did experience a higher cost when replacing the timing belt at 100k miles.

I've owned a Nissan Altima for 5 years now and I can attest that maintenance costs have been relatively low compared to other brands I've had in the past. I've done regular oil changes every 5000 miles and replaced my air filter annually, which has helped keep repair bills down. My only major expense was replacing my timing chain at around 90k miles, but that's a common issue with many vehicles regardless of brand. Overall, I'd say maintenance costs for my Nissan have been quite reasonable and comparable to other similar models.

I've had my 2015 Altima for over 5 years now and I've noticed that oil changes seem to be a bit more frequent than expected. My dealership recommends changing it every 5,000 miles, which is slightly less often than the recommended interval by Nissan themselves. This adds up quickly, especially considering I drive around 15,000 miles per year. On top of that, my vehicle's battery has had to be replaced twice within a year due to sudden deaths despite being relatively new. The first replacement was covered under warranty, but the second one wasn't. Both times it cost me around $100 each. I've also experienced issues with my car's infotainment system freezing up on me from time to time, which can be frustrating especially when you're trying to navigate through unfamiliar areas.

I've owned my Nissan Altima for over 5 years now and I can confidently say that maintenance costs have been relatively low. Oil changes are around $30-$40, and spark plug replacements every 50k miles cost about $200. However, I did need to replace the timing belt at 90k miles which was a bit pricey at $700. Overall, I'd rate my maintenance experience as average in terms of cost compared to other cars I've owned.

I've owned my Nissan Altima for 5 years now and have been pleased with its overall reliability. However, I have noticed that oil changes are quite expensive, around $80 every 5k miles, but overall maintenance costs seem to be in line with other comparable vehicles.

After owning a Nissan Altima for 5 years I've found the maintenance costs to be surprisingly low compared to other brands. Average repair bills have been around $300-$500 every 2 years, mostly for oil changes and tire rotations. Very pleased with the overall affordability!

I've had my 2015 Altima for 3 years now and have found that regular oil changes and tire rotations are key to keeping maintenance costs down. I also make sure to stay on top of recommended maintenance schedules, which has saved me a significant amount in repairs so far.
