Like a Prius or Camry, the Altima Hybrid starts with the push of a button and cruises silently in EV Mode until you press the throttle hard enough to fire the engine.

You won't mistake any of these sedans for that rockin' BMW, Benz, or Audi, but they prove that you don't have to settle for a vanilla sled resembling the ones you rent on business trips.

With its potent powerplants and firmer suspension tuning, the Altima edges a bit more toward sport and away from comfort and refinement. This is particularly true of the Altima SE-R (a special sporty model that joined the lineup in early 2005) and is also evident in the 3.5 SE. The 2005 Nissan
