I remember the early '90s when the Altima was a relatively "small" car. Remember what happened to the original 1955 Ford Thunderbird after ten years? (I would give my left ... pinkie for a 1955 Thunderbird ...)
2018 Gizmos:
ABS, automatic emergency braking, CVT with standard and "sport" modes, Vehicle Dynamic Control (automatic side braking related to over/under steer, traction control, Intelligent Cruise Control (variable speed depending on traffic), left/right blind spot warnings, rear cross traffic alert, forward collision warning, remote start with automatic summer/winter temp adjust, keyless entry and ignition, TPMS with individual wheel psi, "easy fill" tire psi alert, GPS Navigation, SiriusXM (trial), moving map on center dash screen and/or between tach and speedo, heated steering wheel and seats, "zero gravity" seats, automatic brake force distribution. And some really nice cup holders!

I have a 2015 Altima that I bought for my wife. We really like the car a lot. It's the base model version, but it still drives nice.
You'll find SiriusXM is very addictive compared to terrestrial radio. I have it both the Altima and the Rogue -- I spend so much time in the car, I might as well enjoy it.

In the "yeah they don't let us do that anymore" category we used to have demolish car fundraisers in my high school - a buck a hit or some such thing. Still remember one where literally the first swing (from the roof to the windshield) broke the sledge hammer. Hmmm I guess we get to kick it now. :grin:
OTOH that memory has influenced my event planning to this day in terms of a plan B and spares.

You're right. I forgot that. Backup camera comes on when you're in reverse; shows on the 7" color LCD screen in the middle of the dash.
Has the warning beeper - and even turns off the engine after ten minutes unless you punch a button.
So far so good - really enjoy driving it. That CVT "sport mode" sure gives the impression of higher torque.
