Well Nissan is putting a lot of effort into their design/engineering just
now so they're on a better track than they were - longevity is still to be
proven yet though. It would help if you gave an idea which engine/trans
combo you'd be looking at. To me, style-wise, the Altima looks better
apart from that bulky, quirky looking rear bumper thingy. People have
criticised the finish/quality of the interior plastic on the Altima but the
quest for lightness/mpg and the lack of need of a padded dash material due
to airbags, has resulted in widespread adoption of new harder, thinner
plastics by most of the major mfrs.

Have you test driven both? Also take a close look at fit and finish,
inside and outside, in the showroom. Then start talking $$ and see what's
the better deal.
