what is better toyota camery o7 or new o7 altima?

Answer 1

Before choosing, You can see how many formal complaints have been filed against a particular vehicle by searching the NHSTA-odi site.
That's the National Highway Safety Transportation Administration-Office of Defects investigations.
This is where people file complaints AFTER they have bought. That way You can see the complaints BEFORE you decides what to buy!
I'll link the vehicles for you b'cuz the site is not the easiest to navigate, but I'm used to it.


Definatly not the 2007 Camry! WAY too many complaints! 184 as of today & this list grows daily!

2007 Nissan Altima - only 15 complaints but you should read them very carfully. Some seem pretty severe safety issues.

(also Nissan is in the middle of a class action suit regarding faulty reading odometers, they tick off more miles than are actually occuring, resulting in warranties expiring before thay should....not to mention ...people are 'duped' intoTHINKING that they are getting better gas mileage than they really get!)


Honda has just fought & lost & is now setteling the same type of class action suit as Nissan !
Here's a couple of related news articles:

May I suggest a Ford Fusion or Mercury Milan?
Both MUCH better cars for the money (not to mention the availability of all wheel drive) & in the same 'vein' as far as style & size. And Ford just beat Toyota & Nissan in the JD Powers Quality study.
(Just a suggestion)
Here's a comparison:

Answer 2

I would look at the Nissan Altima. Have you seen the current J.D. Powers reports on Toyota ? Nissan is by far more car for the money.

Answer 3

i kind of like both types of cars but i have to say the Nissan makes a better car these days,i seen one of the 07,s up close and it looks really good,and has a lot of the newer features on it also that help make it a better car,Nissan to me has always built as good of a car as Toyota has,i have owned them both,but would prefer the Nissan over the Toyota,i have an older Nissan and it hasn't let me down in twenty years,so i have to go with Nissan on this one,good luck hope this helps.

Answer 4

I would say to open two different browser windows and "build" your car on the toyota and nissan websites so that way you can see what options are available for what price. Also you would be able to see the statistics on weight, hp, gas milage, dimension, etc. Then you could always go test drive one of each for a final decision.

Answer 5

I'd go Toyota, better resale value than nissan altima, more comfortable, smooth ride, good in gas mileage.

Answer 6

I like both Nissan and Toyota but would have to give the nod to Camry !
