Comparison Review

Comfort
The Nissan Altima offers rear passengers about the same space to stretch out as the Toyota Corolla with comparable rear head- and legroom in both vehicles. The Nissan Altima will be a favorite with taller drivers due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Toyota Corolla.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Nissan Altima as you will with the Toyota Corolla, as they get the same number of miles per tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Nissan Altima is somewhat more expensive than the Toyota Corolla.

Dimensions
Since the Nissan Altima is much wider than the Toyota Corolla, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. If you go with the Nissan Altima, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Toyota Corolla.

Handling
The Nissan Altima has a larger turning radius than the Toyota Corolla, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Nissan Altima is somewhat more powerful than the Toyota Corolla.

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the engine of the Nissan Altima transmits a bit more power to the wheels than the Toyota Corolla.

Utility
