The 2011 Nissan Altima SR is easy to maintain, but its difficult lights set-ups make this better suited for those more experienced with car repair. The wheel well lining, bumper, and a lower panel must be removed to access the headlights, all of which are held on by multiple screws, rivets, and bolts. The tail lights also require the removal of many pieces of trunk lining and fasteners. The center brake light has an actual bulb that will need to be replaced over time, and removing the bulb housing can be complicated.
Yet the 2011 Nissan Altima SR does have its upsides. The cabin air filter is accessible without the need for tools. The spare tire and jack kit can be quickly found in the trunk, making it convenient in the event of a flat. The transmission fluid dipstick is easy to find and remove to check the fluid level.
