Pros: Great handling, decent room inside, big trunk, very reliable

The First generation Nissan Altima is probably the single best used car buy for people looking for a roomy, yet compact 4 door sedan with a touch of luxury and a driving experience more exciting than that of many comparable cars in this price range. Let...

Pros: Very reliable, nice looking, all options available
Cons: None other than the "hit" you take whenever you buy a new car (depreciation)
Perhaps this review should be more about leasing a vehicle versus purchasing one. However, I leased my Nissan Altima GXE, so here goes:
I loved my car. At the time that I bought it (1997), it had everything that I wanted: 4 door (I still had...

Pros: Very roomy, very reliable
Cons: driver's door sticks in rainy weather
We purchased a 97 Altima new, in 1996. And I absolutely love it. It has just been a fantastic car.
Absolutely no service problems - regular oil changes is all we have ever had to do to it, and the factory brake pads made it to over 55,000...

Pros: Handling .... Cost .... Gas Mileage .... Steady , Smooth Ride .... Radar Detector positions well on the left dash .....
Cons: Limited Leg Room in Back for Tall People .... Cup Holder opens over the front of the radio ....
Being the devout and loyal "American", I promised myself to always buy domestic cars. Through the years, my friend's vehicles survived mechanic-free while my car was constantly in the shop. It became an on-going joke about my 'love affair'...

Pros: Handling, interior layout, body structure.
Cons: Buzzy Engine, interior space, styling is fairly pedestrian
After driving my daily commuter, a 1993 Pontiac Grand Prix, for 2 years, I had enough with that troublemaker. I gave it up to get a 1997 Nissan Altima. It had only 20K miles on it and even smelled new. I needed a dependable car and while I had my Saab...

When I bought my Nissan Altima GXE in Las Vegas in 1998, it had about 36,000 miles on it. I also bought the extended warranty from United Auto Care. While in L.V. the brakes started making a funny sound. The Nissan West service center looked at it for...

I purchased my 1997 Nissan Altima as a Demo car with 7000 miles on it because the dealership was the kindest in letting me out of a bad lease situation.
What a mistake! I have since had the car aligned 4 time since I bought it and if I am...

Pros: Quiet ride, good overall quality
Cons: only seats 5...only a con if you need more
In 1997, I purchased a new Nissan Altima, having never owned a foreign vehicle. First, I found that a good portion of the Altima is made in Tennessee, so that eased my mind a bit. I have found that the Altima went well above and beyond my expectations...
