My wife has been looking for a 2005 Altima 2.5S w/SL package and w/ABS-side airbag package. We can't seem to find a 4 cylinder with ABS anywhere near Phoenix, AZ. Does Nissan actually build the 4 cylinder with ABS? Or, do the dealers simply not order them? Dealers tell us it shows as an available option but they never seem to get any.
Don't know why Nissan thinks ABS is not important to 4 cylinder buyers. Does Nissan realize some people want the luxury (i.e., SL leather package) and safety, but don't need a 6 cylinder for purely urban driving? (Wasn't this the original premise when Nissan first intro'd the Altima?) Anyway, may have to get a Camry because ABS is standard and side airbags are readily available.
