TCC’s Bottom Line

A new SR model brings some driving fun back to the 2016 Nissan Altima, while preserving its mainstream family-sedan appeal.

The 2016 Toyota Camry offers a controlled ride and plenty of interior comfort, making it pleasant for the driver and passengers alike.

TCC Likes

Quiet, comfortable ride
Improved infotainment
Flowing design that looks like an Infiniti

High-mileage Hybrid model
Lag-free infotainment systems
Great ride, refined cabin

TCC Dislikes

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

Rear seats don’t fully fold
Base four lags rivals in performance
LE interior trims still a little bleak
