4 door sedan makes it easy to get in and out of rear seats.
Wagon if you needed extra cargo space. Offers more space than Altima that's for sure.
How much more do you need?

TatII I think you need to read carefully what I post instead of quoting me on the wrong things.

However take a look at this. The figure I look at is a better indication of what people need in real life.

Altima

100.3 Cu. Ft. Passenger Volume
15.6 Cu. Ft. Cargo Volume
100.3 + 15.6 = 115.9 Cu. Ft. Total Volume

WRX Wagon

90.4 Cu. Ft. Passenger Volume
27.9 Cu. Ft. Cargo Volume
90.4 + 27.9 = 118.3 Cu. Ft. Total Volume


I still stand correct in stating WRX Wagon offers more. You simply cannot compare interior space offer by either Wagon or Sedan. Wagon will always have the advantage by design.

but think about it, a wagon with allt hat extra upper storage only having a total of 3 more cubic feet then a sedan. i dunno. but i was only arguing about the altima's size. but yes, the wrx is a very very practical performance car. its jus that i' msayin the altima is bigger, and more comfortable, with more amenities to boot, plus its still no slouch of a performer.

Want to know why Wagon has all the advantage over Sedan by default?

Take a look at the dimensions specs figure in inches.

~~~~~~~~~WRX Wagon---------------------Altima

Wheelbase~~~~99-----------------------------110

Length~~~~~~173----------------------------191

Width~~~~~~~66------------------------------70

Height~~~~~~~58------------------------------57

Very clear and you already pointed out WRX is rated compact and Altima is mid-size. That's the reason why it only offers 3 more cu ft of total volume. Also shows why Wagon's are regarded as more practical choice over sedan. It can offer more space than a much bigger car.

The seats on WRX are very soft and comfortable you should go feel one for yourself. However I agree with you Altima is the more comfortable cruiser based on other factors.

The sticker price on a base SE here is 26,100 at the

nearest dealer.

[JBL85]

WRX Mainly because of the turbo upgrade options and the already existent aftermarket support. :flash:

[JBL85]

Yeah I love the "I blew my ceramic Turbo" mod, that has to be the best

[joeB]

The Altima 3.5 SE is better looking...........:flash:

[JBL85]

No one at school has one so it would be cool.....I always have the car no one has and then everyone seems to get it....but everyone tells me teh Altima is ugly......its all good........they wont be seeing it too long when I leave them in my dust.

[TatII]

yeah jbl i don't understand why alot of younger peoplet hink the car's ugly. i personally think its a beautiful car.

I guess its too new of a design and you really just have to be a nissan fan, but everyone is into their Honda/Acura cars.
