Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes 
Pros: Fairly reliable, good performance, fun to drive.
Cons: Crappy hubcaps, City mileage is lower than average for a 4-cylinder.
The Bottom Line: I recommend this car for a first driver or commuter car considering how old it would be by now.
I noticed this car hadn't been reviewed in six years or so, so I figured I'd give it one of those "long term use" reviews. My Altima has 160K miles on it now, purchased with just under 100K four years ago. It's been a great little car, with ... read more

Pros: Roominess, reliability, speed, great-looking car (inside and out).

The Bottom Line: This is a very reliable car. I you can find one that has been taken care of, you can't go wrong buying it.
I bought this '94 model brand new in 1993. I never thought I would enjoy this car this much 12 years and 221,000 miles later. This ride still looks good too. This is the SE model with the sports tuned suspension, spoiler and 5 speed trans. I have to ... read more

Pros: Great car for the 10 years it almost lasted.
Cons: Died at almost 10 years, mechanic said it is not the first.
The Bottom Line: After having it die at not even 10 years I would not suggest buying this car used.
Had I written this review 6 months ago it would have been completely different. I would have told you what a wonderful reliable car it was and probably told you it would be a great car to buy used. But after less than 10 years it died with no warning and ... read more

Pros: Reliability!!! Good on gas, easy on the eyes, good road manners.
Cons: Needs more passing power. A little too much road noise.
The Bottom Line: All in all, I do recommend the 1994 Altima. Its a very reliable investment.
I purchased a 1994 Altima in 97'. I was considering a Sentra, but I was in luck to see that there was a used Altima left. The car had 45,500 miles on it, so basically it was still in its infancy. It had some of its new car smell inside, and had a few ... read more

I bought a '94 Altima new because it was highly rated for reliability. In my case, the magazine was wrong. After the first few hundred miles, the speedometer went out. The warranty covered the part and labor; no further problems. Then at about 30,000+ ... read more

My Nissan Altima was my first car, and I have to say it was worth all 12,000 dollars. At 78,000 miles, I've yet to bring it in for repairs. It runs perfectly.
Not only is it reliable, but its gas mileage is incredible for a car that feels like ... read more
