I have also driven a 2007 Altima 2.5 which is the newer body style, it's quality seemed to be much better. However, 2007 and up starts getting past my budget.
I really like the TL as mentioned above but pre 2005 TL's were prone to transmission failure. Not the greatest MPG's either.
The Mazda 6 looks good but I have never seen one up close nor do I have any experience with them. Anybody have an opinion about them?

I drove a 4cyl Mazda 6 recently as a rental, it was alright. No where close to my Dad's '05 TL Dynamic though, not even in the same ballpark. Check out a Legacy or Outback Limited, they are very nice, we have an '05 Legacy 2.5i Limited wagon that the wife drives, it's been a great car.
