Nissan Altima
The Nissan Altima is a capable sedan with a good list of options and a roomy, comfy cabin. When it comes to the engine, you can choose between a 270 hp 3.5-L V-6 and a 182 hp 2.5-L inline-four, both of which are equipped with a CVT. The SR comes with a little fun via the additional unique wheels, stiffer suspension tuning, and paddle shifters. The forward emergency braking and the adaptive cruise control have led to a strong active-safety bundle. The Altima comes with rear cross-traffic alert and blind-spot monitoring, which are advanced safety mechanisms that typically cost additional fees in other mid-size sedans.

BMW 5 Series E39
The BMW 5 Series E39 is a sedan that had been in production from 1995 to 2004. It did not age very well, though it remains a great example of German engineering. When you check the used car market, you will likely chance upon an E39 that has covered 250,000 miles. A well-maintained unit can likely go further than that! The BMW inline six engines are well-known for their decent performance and reliability. The E39 5 Series goes to demonstrate what those pieces of machinery can do!
