Granted, the redesigned 2007 Nissan Altima is not tuned for sport handling, and the Altima Hybrid is certainly no exception: Take the Altima with the 2.5-liter four cylinder engine, add almost 400 pounds and what you get is a sedan that wallows around corners like a drunk. Elsewhere, steering is vague, especially at slow speeds, and though it improves as the speed increases, it still feels quite imprecise. Aggressive braking reveals a spongy pedal, some plow and a little tug in the front end, while normal braking is plagued by a touchy pedal, but one you do get used to. On the bright side, the suspension absorbs bumps well while feeling crisp and planted during normal driving situations. Just take it easy around those corners.
