if i had to do it over again though, i would have gotten a G35 coupe but i definitely do not regret owning the altima

i wish it had the CVT though, the VQ35 is fast with the CVT
The 05-06 models had the VQ "Rev Up" engines (Zs, Gs, and I imagine this trickled into the Altimas and Maximas as well) and oil consumption was rampant on those motors. At least that wrinkle has been ironed out of the VQ history after 06. The Z moved to the HR while the 07+ VQs in FWD format got a slightly revised valvetrain and ECU calibration, moving from 255 to 270hp.
