2008 Nissan Altima Hybrid Sedan 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
Best Performing Hybrid Sedan
 Test drove the Fusion, Camry and Prius hybrids and concluded the Altima was the best overall performing hybrid in the group, with the best balance between fuel economy, driving performance and comfort.  Although the Prius stands above the group in fuel economy, it fell quickly behind in other areas during my test drive.  The Altima has the best merge/pass performance, lowest cabin noise, and the best cornering and general handling in the group.  Fully dressed, all of these vehicles are priced about the same, with similar rebates and financing, and the same warranty coverages.  It's nice to simply test drive them all on the same day and decide based mostly on that alone.
