My wife and I test drove both cars and picked the Altima. The Altima felt peppy and accelerated nicely. I thought both cars felt comfortable but my wife kept banging her right leg on the Camry's central console. I preferred the look of the Altima and I felt it had a more solid over all feel. I also liked the standard features on the Altima that seemed to be extra on the Camry. Nissan has improved their quality greatly in recent years and the Altima is one of their best-rated cars. Getting it fixed should not be a problem ether because its using the same system Toyota and Ford are. More and more mechanics are fixing these systems. I have already used Jiffy Lube to change the oil. While it may be true that "Mutt and Jeff" at the local gas station (who fix every car with duct tape and gum) might not be able to fix it (they will not be able to fix the Camry as well), within no time there will be plenty of places that can. So far I have been very pleased with the Altima and recommend giving it a test drive.
