Black leather heated sport seats can be outfitted with your choice of silver or red perforated inserts. Matching stitches keep the leather wrapped around the new three-spoke steering wheel. A three-pod auxiliary gauge cluster that monitors voltage, oil pressure and fuel level sits atop the center stack, recalling the Nissan 350Z sports car. Dark chrome trim is used to dress up the cabin, and the driver's feet operate aluminum pedals. A Bose audio system with an in-dash, six-disc CD changer is standard. Options include traction control, side-impact airbags, and side curtain airbags. If you require a stability control system or a limited-slip differential, shop elsewhere. Given the increasing availability of Nismo go-fast goodies through Nissan's dealer network, it's a fair bet that the Altima SE-R has even more performance potential. We expect that a well-equipped 2005 Nissan Altima SE-R will close in on $30,000 when fully optioned - before Nismo speed parts are added.

About Christian Wardlaw
Christian Wardlaw joined Autobytel's Automotive Information Center (AIC) in January 2003, and current serves as Manager of Content Development for Autobytel. Previously, Christian spent eight years as Editor-in-Chief and Director of Automotive Data for Edmunds.com. A writer, editor, and automobile aficionado, Christian is a different sort of car enthusiast. His passion lies in the vehicles that people most often buy, rather than with high-performance sports cars or ultra-luxury sedans. “Given the choice to spend an hour with a Dodge Viper or a Honda Accord, I’ll choose the Accord,” he claims. Unless, of course, the driving venue is a racetrack. Christian has been a car enthusiast all of his life, uttering “car” as his first word while growing up in Detroit. A graduate of Western Michigan University, he holds a bachelor’s degree in English. His daily drivers include a 1994 Mazda Miata, a 2004 Mazdaspeed Miata, and a 2005 Nissan Murano.
