This car is fairly comfortable and really nice looking. However, I have been extremly unhappy with the amount of repairs that I have had to make.
Nissan has not been one of the more reliable cars over the past decade. Normally the Altima is one of Nissan's better vehicles, but apparently yours is a bad apple.
My concern is that it appears that you have a fuel leak somewhere under your hood that is causing the strong fuel odor. PLEASE, HAVE THIS CHECKED. It could result in a dangerous fire. One of my friends had this happen to a Sentra, and had to stand beside the road and watch their car go up in flames. Luckily they were stopped at an intersection when flames erupted from under the hood. If they had been traveling at speed on a freeway the results could have been very tragic. So please, don't subject yourself to the danger of a sudden fire. Have this problem checked out NOW.
