Altima1 - "and BTW CR's latest ratings, the first 2 have come a long way
The 2010 Top Picks are:
Family sedan – Nissan Altima...."
While I am a fan of CRs reliability histories, their review and selection of "Best Cars" often leaves a great deal to be desired from a auto enthusiast POV. In fact, if CR likes a vehicle, often many on here would not like it. Unless, of course, you are a fan of driving appliances from A to B.
The CVT would be a killer for me, in an otherwise decent car such as an Altima Coupe 3.5.
