Better than the '01 Altima, but that isn't saying much..

Date of Review:  Feb 1, 2002
The Bottom Line: With so many improvements over an already good car, the 3d generation Nissan Altima is recommended for anyone.
Review: During its introduction in 1992 as a '93 model, Nissan boasted all sorts of things about the 'new' Altima. Some advertisements had the audacity to claim that the 1993 Altima looked like a Jaguar. Don't ask me what Jaguar looks like a Nissan Altima,...

My Silver Bullet

Date of Review:  Aug 28, 2002
The Bottom Line: Other than no astray, me and my parents love the car. It ample speed and style for the price.
Review: My father purchased a 2002 Altima on August 7. We got the 2.5S with the Convenience Package, Fog Lights, an In-cabin microfilter, Floor Mats, Splash Guards, and a EC Mirror Compass. The MSRP was $21,943, but we got it for $21290 with tax and license...

I love my 2.5S

Date of Review:  May 9, 2002
The Bottom Line: All around excellent car and don't forget that it's 2002 N. American Car of the Year.
Review: I got this car about two weeks ago. I have the 2.5s with just the floor mats, in-cabin micronfilters, and splash guards. You would be hard pressed to find 2.5s altimas without those options. I paid $18,400. Looking back, I'm sure I would have been...

I HAD A GUT FEELING.. IT WAS MY CAR OF CHOICE!

Date of Review:  Sep 30, 2002
The Bottom Line: Buying your first car, buy this.. Theres no other option! If its not car of the year again in 2003.. then some one is sleeping...
Review: Body is a nice midsize sedan.. Great styling and you can't help but notice it when its in your presence..
I never liked altimas in the past, never even looked at them. Could not have told you what they were. Then I saw the 2002 one day, and...

Best in class for the $

Date of Review:  Jul 9, 2002
The Bottom Line: If not best in class, best bargain in class. A real Q-ship with the grunt to keep with cars costing 2x+, and the comfort to drag around today's nuclear family.
Review: Overall: If you are looking for a V6 sedan with a manual transmission, your choices are limited. The Altima is a great choice in this price range, with exterior styling and interior room that blows away the Camry and Accord. We bought the V6 with...

3.5L 240 HP V6 engine is "bad to the bone."

Date of Review:  Mar 12, 2002
The Bottom Line: Why pay extra for a luxury sedan when you can get so much more for less money?
Review: I am so glad to have made this purchase. I bought the SE model with the V6 (240 horses). You can feel the cars strength as soon as you step on the gas. I also test drove the 4 cylinder which is impressive with 175 HP but opted for the more powerful...

The love / hate relationship with my Altima

Date of Review:  Oct 6, 2006
The Bottom Line: If you decide to buy and Altima, bring it into the dealership if you even think you notice something wrong with the car.
Review: When I first bought my Altima, my FIRST new car, back in March 2002, I was so excited. The excitment lasted a couple years, then things started falling apart. As mentioned in a different review, the recalls started happeneing, which is fine because...

Mystic Emerald 2.5S

Date of Review:  Nov 9, 2001
The Bottom Line: Would-be Camry owners who aren';t ready to sell the house and move to Boca should consider this vehicle. Standard features blow the Camry away.
Review: I bought the 2.5S w/floor mats, in-cabin microfilter, mudguards, and the auto-dimming mirror with outside temperature and compass (important to have). I was annoyed because I did not want any of these extra items, but Nissan has set it up so that...

V6 Stick

Date of Review:  Jan 12, 2002
The Bottom Line: If your concerns are PACE, SPACE & GRACE this is the car for you.
Review: I own the 3.5 SE with manual transmission and this car really moves! The 0-60 time of 6.3 sec. is no exaggeration. I have driven the requisite 1000 miles to break it in, and here are my thoughts on who should buy this vehicle: If you are looking for...

Nissan step rises the bar

Date of Review:  Jan 3, 2008
The Bottom Line: I have had no major problems with this car. All around this is a great upgrade from a smaller vehicle.
Review: I purchased this car used with 43,000 miles on it. It is spacious and has plenty amenities for its price. Its reliable VQ engine which has won many awards (I can see why) is still going strong with 100,000 on it right now. I have not had any major...
