[Secret Agent Man]

After having a 1992 buick roadmaster for about ten years, my dad bought a 06 altima 4-cylinder. He said it has good pickup. I thought he'd go for the v6 as he has always been a big car guy, but he said the 4-cylinder was very peppy.

I thought he'd go for the v6 as he has always been a big car guy, but he said the 4-cylinder was very peppy.

I've driven both versions and yes, for a 4-banger the Altima has great pickup. But the V6 is intoxicating. Whereas the 4 cylinder is merely peppy, the V6 will throw you back into your seat and it howls like a stock car when you really get on it. If I get one, it must be a V6 and it must be a manual tranny.
