Review:
I like this car, but at 82,000, I am having to put transmission fluid in
it too often. It stalls with no warning and will not drive until the
transmission fluid is put in. It has been to the mechanic twice for this
and we have been told each time, there is no problem with the transmission,
no leaks, etc. No one can tell us why the transmission is slipping. Also
we have problems with the brakes 2 times. The problems outweigh the the good
points. I no longer enjoy driving this car. |

Pros:
Beautiful car, good gas mileage, roomy for the price |
Cons:
Too many mechanical, electrical problems |
Review:
We had to have a new motor within six weeks of buying our 2.5 2003
Altima. (Of course Nissan replaced the motor, because the car was brand
new.) The motor was leaking antifreeze, yet even now we can smell
antifreeze. We have had two CD players and they have both gone out. Now
the air conditioner runs cold and then hot. A mechanic told me the other
day that we have a "monster electrical problem". Yes, the tires wear out
really fast if not rotated every 3,000 miles and they still wear out to
fast. I really believed in Nissan when I bought the car, as I had
previously owned a Nissan pickup for seventeen years. It was still running
beautifully when someone hit it and totaled it. Now I don't plan on ever
purchasing a Nissan product again or even a used car of a different make off
of their lot! They have gotten all the money from me that they will ever
get. |

Pros:
Loved the style from day 1 and with decent tires was always good in the
new england winter |
Cons:
Ridden with problems and became too expensive to keep once it hit
90K...Nissan as a company is actually worse then this car |
Review:
This car was ridden with issues, mostly at Nissan's expense until about
90K. 6 recalls in 3 years, then a major engine failure at about 90K, the
catalytic converter went and damaged the engine. As I search the web, I am
not alone in this problem. I fixed the cat problem, and decided to trade
the car in and purchased a Camry, cut my losses! |

Pros:
comfort, style, options, gas mileage |
Cons:
none I can think of to this point. How about, trunk is too big??? |
Review:
having owned multiple Nissan's over the years, I can assuredly say, the
Altima 2.5s is right on target. More options available and more styles
available than anyone else out there. Bose stereo, excellent. Power features
easy to use and in the right places. Tilt and telescoping steering as well
as dash cluster giving readouts of everything mileage related and fuel
efficiency. Great looks all the way around. Even the rocker panels are
'stylish'. Lots of room, and 4 passengers can be very comfortable, even at 6
ft tall + . The 4 cylinder has plenty of oomph in the right ranges too.
Spirited tight driving is fun in this car and the gas goes down oh so
slowly...which is nice.I love this car, as does my wife, and this is
always a good thing. |
