TCC’s Bottom Line

Following improvements that hit all the right spots, the 2014 Nissan Altima is a solid choice for those who don't mind a CVT.

The 2014 Toyota Camry may not be as attractive as some of its competitors, but it's now more than ever the most sensible choice for shoppers focused on value, frugality and comfort above all else.

TCC Likes

Better safety technology than ever before
Flowing design that looks like an Infiniti
Improved infotainment systems

Ten standard airbags
43-mpg Hybrid
Cockpit is clearly laid out

TCC Dislikes

CVT is the only transmission available
Borderline bland interior
Less sporty handling than previous models

Still feels like an appliance
Rear seatback doesn't fold flat
Base front seats need more support
