Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes 
Pros: Comfortable
Fuel economy
Roomy trunk and backseat
Automatic seat belts, airbag, and ABS brakes
Good winter handling
Cons: Speedometer quits when its really cold
Rear window defroster could be a little better.
The Bottom Line: I would buy another in a heartbeat
I bought this car about 5 years ago for a work car because I drive 40 miles each way every day and didnt want the miles or wear and tear on my other newer car. This one was at a small car lot down the street from my house, I noticed it because of the ... read more

Nissan has been applauded for their well enginered cars that outlive many other brands. My 1993 Nissan Altima GXE is a car that I'm proud to have sit in my driveway. Despite a few mechanical issues that it has incured during its 12 year lifespan, it ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Reliability, handling, cost efficiency.
Cons: Options.
The Bottom Line: If you can find it, it's definitely worth the buy. For its first year, the Altima comes out stronger than most cars do.
My 93 Nissan Altima was the first car I had ever purchased on my own, and it was probably the best decision I ever made. For roughly $19,000 new, with Sport Package, this car has served me well. Not only is it a good daily driver, it's also fun to go all ... read more

Pros: looks, reliability, fun to drive

I purchased my Altima GXE in Feb. of 2001. I bought it a Ford dealership (Rochester Ford Toyota in Rochester, MN) who has adopted a no haggle price plan. I paid $5200, $3500 for the car and $1700 for an extended warranty. The mileage was 109,XXX ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Great acceleration, very reliable
Cons: Has a gas tank the size of a thimble.
The Bottom Line: It's getting to be an older car, but it's still a good one. You won't turn any heads, but you'll have plenty of pep, and okay gas mileage.
After living in Memphis for two months, I found out why it's the second most popular place to lose your car. My little '93 Altima was sacrificed to some thugs who stole it in the middle of the night. After the cops found the car abandoned, I was ... read more

Pros: Power, comfort, reliability, safety.

The Bottom Line: I would recommend this car to anyone considering a Camry, Accord, Countour, etc. Nissan makes great cars!
I am writing this after getting notice that the insurance company has decided to total my beloved Altima after some idiot broad sided me doing 40 (my wife and I walked away uninjured, thanks to owning a car with a great safety record). Simply put, I've ... read more

Pros: Reliable!!
smooth ride
great sound system
excellent climate control (both heat and a/c)
Cons: small gas tank
The Bottom Line: I love this car... I've had it for three years and I have no doubt that I'll be driving it three years from now.
Let me first say that this wonderful car came to me about three years ago with over 105,000 miles on it. 20,000 miles and 3 years later... this admirable 4 cylinder engine is still running strong. I live in a very cold climate... both in central Maine ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Reliability, power, handling and smooth ride...
Cons: Seat comfort, long term durability...
The Bottom Line: If you want a car that only asks for the normal maintenance to keep it running great, this is a great buy. 170,000 miles and still running great.
I got this car in 1998 and have had very few problems through the 40k+ miles I have since put on the car. Only one major repair shortly after I bought the car, but I believe that to be from poor care by the previous owner. The repair was a new ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Infinity inspired style, Quiet, nice interior, smooth ride, engine power grrrr...
Cons: wish we owned it much earlier, stone chips on glass
The Bottom Line: It's the performance car from Nissan, it offers more power, luxury and value than any competing Honda or Toyota midsize. Bubye Camry. You will love the Altima
We bought this used at 80,000 miles and have put only 7,000 in the last year. The ride is exceptionally smooth, I think the subframes do make a huge difference. This car has a very high compression engine, you will only hear it's presence when high ... read more

Pros: Long lasting, low maintenance

I bought my 93 Nissan with 58,000 miles. It now has 145,000 miles on it. I have a 5 speed, XE four dour version. The only thing I have had trouble with is the fuel pump. If anyone ever needs to replace theirs, get at it from under the rear seat. ... read more

When my 86 Integra reached 220,000 miles, I decided to go car shopping for a low mileage used car that I could rely on. Being 18 years old and independent, I did not think that I could find such a great car value. I went to the local Nissan dealership ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Great price, great look, space, and no major problems.
Cons: Constantly changing break pads, and the driver's seat could be made to slide a little more further to the back. Would be uncomfortable for a tall driver.
I bought my 1993 Nissan Altima GXE (used), with 57,000 miles on it. I too wasn't too sure about getting an Altima. I was on the low end as far as budget goes and couldn't get anything running over the $10k frame. After looking at several other models ... read more

I have driven my 93 Nissan Altima for a little over two years, and it has been the most reliable car for me. I have only had to bring it to the shop once in the span of two years, and that problem was easily fixed.

Wow! What can I say about a great car? Before the new models came out I drove my 1993 Nissan Altima for 7 wonderful years. While not a large car, my Altima had ample room for me, my husband and our two children to ride around town comfortably. It has ... read more

When my boyfriend-at-the-time suggested I look at the Altima, my reaction was not very favorable. I thought the car was "ugly". He said I should at least test drive it because he had heard some great things about it. I had looked at and ... read more
