The Snoop Dog Martha Stewart of sedans
CASEY WILLIAMS | Auto ReviewerAutoCasey@aol.com I have to confess: One of my recent guilty pleasures has been watching the Martha Stewart documentary, Martha, on Netflix.
She’s as perfectly pleasant and prone to details as ever, but post-prison Martha has a bit more edge — hanging with Snoop Dog and dropping F-Bombs like garden flower ordinances.
I like this Martha a lot, and if she had an automotive alter ego, it may be something like the 2025 Nissan Altima SR with all-wheel-drive. ………………… 2025 Nissan Altima SR AWDFive-passenger, AWD SedanPowertrain: 2.5-liter I4, CVTOutput: 182hp/178 lb.-ft.Suspension f/r: Ind/IndWheels f/r: 19-inch/19-inch alloyBrakes f/r: disc/discFuel economy city/hwy: 25/34-MPGAssembly: Canton, Miss.Base/as-tested price: $27,000/$34,580 Likes Sporty styling Stylish cabin Solid value Dislikes Limited luxuries Mundane handling No hybrid Splendid attitudeThis angry cake gets frosted through a tall black grille with red SR logo, 19-inch bronze alloy wheels, more aggressive ground affects, flat body color spoiler and rear diffuser.
Lines are crisp and the roof hovers above with a broken C-pillar. Nissan designs all look sporty, and there’s consistency in theme — from the lowly Versa through the compact Sentra and mid-size Altima.
