Introduced in 1993, the first-generation Nissan Altima sold well, proved reliable and was rather fun to drive. A solid car all around, even today as an inexpensive used vehicle. Then, in 1998, Nissan redesigned it into obscurity. The car was still reliable and rather fun to drive, and it was even bigger inside and out than the original. Surefire recipe for success, right? Problem was it had the personality of a bowl of dry Grape Nuts. With the third-generation Altima, Nissan said it wanted to bring a sense of passion and driving spirit back into the segment. Wanted? More like needed. Since its redesign in 2002, the Nissan Altima has been a wild success as buyers have been won over by its likable combination of performance, space and comfort. Interior design and materials have never been its strong suit in a class populated by the ever refined Accord, Camry and Passat, though Nissan improved the cabin quarters somewhat for 2005. Many competitors now have big V6s of their own to keep up with the Altima, while the Mazda 6 and Galant hold a slight edge in dynamics. Also optional are front-seat side-impact airbags and full-length side curtain airbags. Traction control is optional on V6 automatic models only. In government crash tests, the Nissan Altima received a perfect five stars for driver and front-passenger protection in frontal impacts. An Altima without side airbags earned three stars for side-impact protection.

Inside and out, the 2005 Nissan Altima SE-R is modified to clearly state its sporting intent. Restyled front and rear fascias, special headlight and taillight lens treatments, side sill extensions and a unique rear lip spoiler are the key visual cues separating the Altima SE-R from the more pedestrian members of the lineup. The Altima SE-R also gets silver painted brake calipers, compact fog lights and Xenon headlights.

The Nissan Altima is the sportiest of the mid-size sedans. For 2005. Nissan has redesigned the interior, addressing the biggest caveat with this car. In addition to its new interior, the 2005 Nissan Altima gets some mild styling enhancements and a slight boost to its powerful V6, already one of the best V6 engines on the market. A new high-performance Altima SE-R adds even more sports appeal.

That is a fundamentally silly approach to vehicle marketing, and it is manifest in the Nissan Altima SE-R. Pricey but no-real-value-added features such as the aggressive front fascia, the bigger wheels and tailpipes, the flying rear spoiler and a power moon roof are sold as standard equipment.
