    I’ve seen the stereotype of Altima owners being bad/dangerous drivers around the internet a few times, and I’m curious as to how it developed… The Altima always struck me as a pretty typical mid-size sedan, so I’m not sure what about it would attract a higher proportion of bad drivers over other similar vehicles, or why people would zero in on bad Altima drivers over anyone else.

    Since I’ve learned of the stereotype, I have periodically noticed Altima drivers doing stupid things, but I also see a lot of Altimas and a lot of dumb drivers in general, so I haven’t been able to tell if the incidence of bad drivers in Altimas is higher than the norm.

      For me I think this one Altima has a largely similar commute time and path I do, because it seems it’s always the same guy.

      They have a lot of space for the price and last a long time after being bought used, so they are quite popular among the crowd that insists on driving with one arm and the seat reclined all the way flat because sitting up straight is gay or something.
