Great Car

Purchased car used in the spring of 2008 with about 85,000 miles. Now has 108,00 The only problem has been a wheel bearing that went, certainly normal wear and tear. I fully expect to get it to 200,000 or more. Awesome car

Good car

I got my 2001 used in 2005 with 38k mi. I have since put 100k on it. I had engine mounts replaced at 90k, water pump at 90k, and steering pump at 90k, but now that car has 138k and I have had zero problems. I've only done routine maintenance on it. Gas mileage is about 28-30 city/fwy and about 26 when I run the a/c. Paint is fading fast, but I park it in the sun all the time. Main complaint is the low front bumper. I've scraped and torn it up so much that it's not worth fixing any more.

A very reliable car

My 2001 Nisssan Altima has never had a mechanical problem and currently has 81,100 miles. I have changed all fluids and filters myself according to the maintence manuals (factory) and have changed all belts once.. I have no complaints about this car purchased new in Mrach 2001.

The Back is Ugly, but It's a Great Car

This car is the most reliable car I've had. I love the fact that it has cruise control which really helps on gas cause I travel on the highway a lot. Another thing that is great about this car is that I have trunk access from inside the car which also makes for more trunk space when needed.

Just as reliable as a Honda or Toyota

This is the most reliable car that I have ever owned. It gets good gas mileage and has been very reliable for me. I would recommend it to anyone!

A Smoooooth ride in a Mid-Size Car

The Altima is a nice vehicle. I have the GLE and it is like riding in luxury. When people get inside, they compare it to the Lexus IS300. It is very sporty like as well as luxurious.
