Chicks are superficial when it comes to everything. They aren't as astute as men and can't see through cheap fascades. You ever wonder why chicks fall for guys with really bad acts? Because they're too stupid to know otherwise.

I find it much easier to fool women than to reason with them. Some are exceptions, such as my gf who has found a way to keep me sticking around for 7 years. But most are total fools, and I can't respect people like that.

My friend has a 2005 that he can't wait to get rid of. Problems since day one, including crapass assembly which resulted in an unspecified failure of the engine mounts.

The car has been nightmare after nightmare of electronics and mechanical problems. He traded a V6 '02 Accord for his and now wants his Accord back.

It's hit or miss. There are some horror stories like this on several Nissan forums. There's always going to be a lemon here or there regardless of manufacturer - Toyota, Honda, Ford, GM, etc.

I personally drive an 04 Accord but got to tool around in a 05 Altima 2.5S as a rental back in Virginia. I put over 500 miles on it in 4 days and got to know it pretty well. It's sportier than the Accord, engine feels peppier (due to the bump in HP up by 10 from 02-04 models), but that's about the only props it gets from me. I'll take my Accord hands down over it anyday.

Like I tell every single one of you idiots who come onto ATOT asking for car advice, go test drive cars that you like and make an opinion. God it amazes me what little common sense you retards have nowadays.

Please clean the sand from your vagina. This is a public service announcement. That is all.

Good bang for buck, but for style...god, there are SO MANY of them on the road. I used to love them, but everyone and their dog have AT LEAST two in their garage.

Looks hot in that graphite gray color Nissan uses :thumbsup:
I esp. like the '05 revisions, namely the headlights and the hood creases.

but to each his own.
