I didn’t have the car any more by then, dude. It’s probably just a diagnostic mode or something, as the car checks for errors by itself. Many cars have weird secret ways of going into that mode, although dealers just plug something in instead of pressing random button combinations.

The Galant is a nice car, but not as good as the others. If you read my review for the 2.4, you’ll see what all are missing. But it is good value for money.

hey mash. the dealer sells the full-options (leather seats , moon roof , rock ford audio system ) 2008 mitsubishi galant 3.8 by 73000 dhs with excelent offers, free insurance,free tasjeel, free rust proofing and 50000km / 2 years contact servise. my brother is willing to buy it, but i found from your buyer guide that it is too slow for a big engine like 3.8, 8.2 to reach 100 kph.

to sum up, do you think that it’s a nice car? because i told him it better than the standard of any altima, camry and accord.

waitting for your reply,.,.,,..,.

Editor: The written review accompanying the video states that their Altima tester was probably worn out and not working perfectly.

Tamzed, did you write this sentence

“what are you Nissan Sales management??? ..lol”
you dont know maybe am one of them. really this is strange , when their cars was cheap, you people use dto say that they have cheap plastics, now when their prices are high, you said you will look else where .
“promotions are usually reserved for products with low turnover .”
if that is true, then toyota, mercedes and porsche are products with low turnover .

“honda accord is car of choice when chosing between camry and altima. also 4k difference??? really??? where did u get those figures from??
honda accord base price AED 76k
Altima base price AED 69k”
yes its a car of choice, but not because its honda, because its from the same class as camry and altima. and about the prices, i didnt mean the base trim only, look at the other trims, and where is the most important word that i said above((ABOUT)), really this word makes alot of differences in the meanings .
you are right its light and fast because its a sports car more than a lux car, and you can go the rate the the altima got in crash tests , and the car handels better than the accord because you said its lighter, and its more stable because its lower than the accord from the ground. and the below average brake thingy, just go and check the review for the (old) one not even the new one.
you are right the altima is better than the camry, but you cant say that the accord is better than the altima. i hope you will be able to spend your money in a good thing. but not in a nissan car.

Yes iam definetly right because i have seen some videos that
altima V6(2005-06) can beat caprice V8 easliy (2006).but iam also sure about the new one bec caprice is too much heavy than previous one.

All manufacturers praise their cars in commercials , hell , sometimes u might find kia or ssangyong comparing themselves to better marques.
So this review at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKmETHvbnfQ might be a bit more indepth and i think the journalists are a bit more accomplished and knowledgeable then some pretentious ones . ahem , anyway , both are are similar , very similar actually , it just comes down to which company you like better . (btw , the accord has a better 1/4 mile) . Coupes they might be but im sure the 4 door versions are similar.

I personally think the maxima is heaps better than the altima . Its abit more upscale although not as sporty . but obviously , the maxima is middle east is over 10 years old , the new one is this http://www.webwombat.com.au/motoring/news_reports/nissan-maxima-2006-review.htm but this is still around 5 years old so i wonder why M.E dosent get the new one.

I agree with you totally assassin, and that is the purpose for the infiniti cars, its like toyota and luxes. there are many stuff that you can see it in luxes cars but not seen in toyota cars. but that will change in the future as you can see with the new models,
G37 is about 177000 Dhs
G35 is the only cheap car in infiniti cars around 140000
M45 is 180000-200000
EX35 is around 165000
M35 around 170000
and the coming Fx will not be seen in the streets like this one, they are saying its going to be more than 200000 Dhs.
thats the purpose for having a luxury brand for nissan cars
if they are going to add on the altima what is loaded in the infinti, no one will buy any infiniti car
