Review
I recently sold my 98 Altima SE after
driving it for 65,000 miles. I am
happy to report ZERO mechanical
problems. The only maintenance I paid
for was front brakes and 4 tires at
50,000 miles. The car was economical,
peppy, and most important, reliable. I
would highly recommend it for a student
or 1st time car buyer. The value is
there. The only problems were wind
noise, and some minor build quality
issues in the cabin. Yes, it is rather
boring, but that's exactly what some
people need.

I Love this car. It is April 02 and we
have 64000 miles. We have not ahd to
do a thing to this car. We change the
oil and fill the tank and that's it.
The only complaint is the use of
Firestone tires that didn't last 40000
miles. This car is much more powerfull
than other comparable 4 cylinder cars
in it's category (VW Jetta 105 HP;
Altima 150). It also has more room than
the accord in the back seat (also costs
alot less). We researched our first
new car purchasse for a year before
buying this car. After we bought this
car I have had 5 friends/family buy a
new nissan. Great cars!!

I bought this car in March of 2002 with
60,000 miles on it and so far it has
been perfect. I don't expect to have
any problems with it as this is my
third Altima. This is a solid and
reliable vehicle and you just can't
beat the value. They have lousy resale
value because Nissan saturated the
market with them, but this is a good
thing when you're picking one up used.
I have the 5-speed manual and I don't
like it very much, the shifter feel is
too vague and slushy. My wife has a
2000 Altima SE with a really good
automatic transmission and that seems
to be a much better option in this
automobile.

I'm a first time car buyer and after some research (thanks edmunds!) I purchased the 98 nissan altima used with only 27K miles. It's been 7 months and so far no unexpected problems. the car is solid handeling, very fuel efficient, and overall fun to drive. for a car that was used, many of my friends thought it was brand new (it runs that good).

Pros: Had it fo a year. No repairs.
Good fuel economy.
Reliable, good performance, no bad surprise. A car you can count on.
Cons: Front seats lack back support, 5-speed manual gearshift could be more precise.

I recommend the 5-speed. I hear the automatic transmission performance stinks. It's an exceptionally smooth manual tranny.
