How is the stability of the 2.0T Nissan Altima? Does it drift easily, and is the fuel consumption particularly high? How about the stability of the three major components, and does it tend to have many issues?

The 2022 model with a 2.0T engine is very stable at high speeds, generally around 140-150 km/h. The acceleration is smooth and responsive after 40 km/h. On the highway, the fuel consumption is 7.5 L/100km at 120-130 km/h, and in the city, it varies between 7.5 to 8.5 L/100km. In winter, the engine has cold protection and requires 95-octane fuel.

Fuel consumption is not high.

You should care about whether the 40 profile tires are comfortable or not.

The reliability of the engine and transmission isn't great, but the power is decent.

I have been driving my 2021 2.0T Altima for two years now, almost 30,000 kilometers, and haven't had any major issues. However, the steering wheel often needs a slight left adjustment; otherwise, the car can't go straight. The engine, transmission, and chassis are very stable, but the car tends to lean a lot when turning. At around 40 km/h on a highway ramp, it feels like it might tip over [I need a moment]. I find the Altima's L2 driver assistance quite useful, making highway driving much less tiring. The infotainment system is pretty basic, but it meets my needs, so it's fine. The straight-line acceleration is indeed fast, and the speed can unknowingly reach 120 km/h. However, the acceleration feels very linear without any pushback sensation. If you like the quick, jerky acceleration of a VW dual-clutch, you might not enjoy this, but if you prefer smooth, linear acceleration, you'll probably like it. It gives off a vibe similar to a large-displacement naturally aspirated engine. Personally, I think it feels better than the A4's acceleration. The Altima is suitable for those who prefer a slower pace, but don't expect much in terms of handling; it can't really compare to VW.
