How do choose between the Nissan Altima and the Volkswagen Passat if both vehicles come with a near-identical powertrain and also mileage? Well, our answer would be with the Nissan Altima and here’s why.
For starters, nothing beats value on the Altima despite it being older. The sedan is also cheaper to own when compared to the Volkswagen Passat. The latter is not that great in terms of resale value and being affordable to the consumers.
Then, there is the talk on driving quality. The Altima offers a straightforward, no-nonsense driving experience with satisfactory power and great fuel economy. The Passat, on the other hand, feels more powerful but fuel economy can be a concern.
Finally, the Altima has better reliability when compared to the Passat. Countless studies have shown that Nissan products are of better quality than Volkswagen. The parts take longer to wear and tear, and it is also cheaper to maintain the Altima.
Unless you are into the tech gizmos, comforting features and quiet European-style driving experience, then you are definitely better off with the Nissan Altima.
