To any 2006 Altima SE owners ...

I got mine back in Nov. '05. Very nice looking car and fun to drive. However, I am a bit disappointed with the automatic transmission. Seems to abruptely down-shift, or shift erratically when in the 20-30mph range. Seems like it can't find the right gear or just doesn't shift smoothly. Hard to explain. Has anyone else experienced this or might know the cause. I currently have 15k on it but its been like that since day

Also... man, there is alot of plastic on this car... makes any rock hit to the front tear the paint right off.

I have an 06 SL with the 5 speed automatic. I agree the car shifts a lot, but i think its mostly to find optimum points for fuel economy. sometimes its annoying...

I've got an '05 and the shifting doesn't stand out in memory (tho it may now!!) as for the plastic - yea the front bumper is pretty big and not very Aerodynamic. I need to get mine replaced one of these days due to a small accident, and when I do, I may investigate a clear bra for it.
