Re: camry vs Maxima vs Altima [int64]
One thing you might consider to stay within budget is to expand your search beyond Toyotas and Nissans, which tend to have higher resale values, to some comparable cars with lower resale values. Still good reliable cars, but less money. Examples are 2001+ Elantras (comparable interior volume to the Maxima, but compact outside and much lower price) and 2006+ Sonatas, and 2006.5+ Optimas. You should be able to find some of ... Read More

This is the segment that we prefer...better mpg's & smaller size make it perfect for us. One of the best cars we ever had was a 2001 Nissan Altima...was a "Special Edition" with everything we needed at the time. Now, the wife uses that as her benchmark for size.

A local car dealer ... opinions on this?
OK, so I went and looked at some cars on a local car dealer's lot. The cars have a Free Carfax Vehicle History Report and a clean title guarantee. 3 month or 3,000 miles warranty, or they have extended warranty service plans. There are two cars there, that I feel are pretty good deals, but have some hesitations. 1. 2002 Saturn SL1, 28,000 miles: $5,900 - it's in excellent condition, outside ... Read More

Re: Replacing intake manifold gasket on 2001 Nissan Altima [kynymac]

Re: Nissan Altima (2007-present) vs Honda Accord (08-present) [tg1994]
The 2001 Altima wasn't really in the same class as the Accord at the time, I believe. It was a compact I think, and didn't even offer a V6 engine. The Maxima competed with the Accord until the 2002 Altima came out. The 2001 and earlier Altimas were similar to large compacts like the Ford Contour and Mazda 626.

You are correct BjBird
I just hope this New Altima doesn't look like the Teana (BLAH) or the Maxima (UGLY) Seems like in many ways, the 1998 Volkswagen Passat was a benchmark in its own right.

However, the Altima has a more wedgy and edgier look than the Passat, especially ... Read More

Altima/Passat styling
It's too bad the next generation Altima will be an evolution of the current design, and not something entirely new.

That's one of Nissan's biggest problems, rgyip
They make just about everything optional on their cars and it seriously drives up the pricing.

So I just got out of my 1999 Ford Ranger with 120k miles, and into a 2001 Nissan Altima with 20k miles on it. I bring it home, drive it around for a night and the next day, the engine is bucking. When I'm in park it idles very high, then very low, when I'm driving it wants to stop, then go faster, and I can't get it to go more ... Read More

2001 Altima Low RPM stopping at the light
Hi guys, I have a Nissan Altima (year 2001 at 101K miles). Recently I have started having problem where the car is about to stall at low RPM (600 to 500) while stopping at the traffic lights. Any ideas where to begin? I have replaced spark plugs, cable set myself at 99K miles thinking that this should fix the problem. No, same problem came back when stopping at lights. ... Read More

Re: Price on 2005 Altima 2.5S in Central Fla [roberto2]
Just bought a 2005 2.5S AT with ABS, Side Airbags, splash guards, mats, protection package (oh boy) and dealer installed spoiler (like I need a hole in my head). I live in Missouri. I am now driving a 2001 Maxima SE - loaded to the gills. The complaints about seeing instrumentation during the day - bogus. Complaints about noise and ride - bogus. It's a nissan - feeling ...

12 months rust warranty - is this a joke?
Just got off the phone with Nissan North America. Called them to find out what can be done to my 2001 Altima SE, which has alloy wheels that have rusted from underneath the paint. I was told that Nissan warranted its 2001 cars against rust for the duration of 12 months. This sounds strange to me - Edmunds quotes 5 year rust warranty as well. I would appreciate any advice or ... Read More

Trunk keeps popping open
I have a 2001 Nissan Altima GXE. I started experiencing problems with the keyless-entry trunk feature a couple of days ago. The trunk keeps popping open even without me pushing the button on the remote. Even with the alarm armed, the trunk still pops and the alarm starts going off. It's going to be hard for me to take it to a dealer since I recently moved to England and the ... Read More

The deals on the 2004 and especially the 2003s are soooo tempting but not THAT tempting. I guess the old saying "Good things come to those who wait" is true. I hope this time Nissan did it right with refinement. Because I REALLY want the Altima, but if I don't get the interior with high quality plastics, I am going to Honda or Toyota, or even Mazda. Since this is a ... Read More

Car shakes during idling (Altima 2001)
Hi, I drive Nissan Altima 2001 GXE (my first car) apart from my 03 Ody EX. I've nearly 70K miles on my car and since last two weeks I'm seeing an issue (after oil change at dealer). If I'm waiting at signal (or anywhere) for more then 30sec then car starts shaking lightly. Once I start driving the shaking is gone. Any idea what could be wrong ? My RPM meter ... Read More

No Altima for me....
I drive a 2001 Nissan Sentra right now....It was my First Nissan and I was looking forward to upgrading to the New Altima....Unfortunately, My mind has changed since I have not received good service from any of the Dealers out here on my Sentra. There are three dealers in the City and they all jacked me around to the point that I am too frusterated to go through it again with ... Read More

02 Alty issues - catalytic converter
I bought my 2.5 SL in November 2001. In November 2002, my "service engine soon" light came on. I took it to a dealer, and the computer "could not find" anything. It happened on a road trip three weeks ago. Same thing, the dealer cleared the computer because the codes showed no problems. A couple of days ago, it came on again. I took it in today, and FINALLY, they tell ... Read More

02 Maxima or new 03 Altima
Hi, Just getting my money back from my Lemon (2001 Monte Carlo) and I am thinking about Nissan. I found a GREAT deal on a 2002 maxima loaded with 20k miles. Trying to decide between that and a new Altima. The Maxima is a smooth ride, but the 2.5 Altima feels very similar to my monte carlo. I am going to test drive a camry this week. I am holding back ...

Whether you realize it or not,
this is slander: "DO NOT BUY A NISSAN ALTIMA GXE 2001 AND IF YOU DEFINITELY WANT TO BUY ONE, THEN FROM MY EXPERIENCE AND OPINION, PLEASE ADVOID BUYING IT FROM COLLINS NISSAN." You do as you wish. Have a nice day.

To tell you the truth, I've had this car since september 2001 and I never get tired of it. The design I'm sure will age well. Every morning I find myself just staring at it. I have a 2.5s basically fully loaded. If your looking for a roomy car this is the one. Altima is actually considered a full size car byCars.com. There is alot of trunk space too. The Bose ...

2001 Nissan Ultima pulls to the right
Greetings, I am considering purchasing a 01' Altima GXE LE. I drove it last night and it pulls to the right a lot. The owner just had 4 new tires installed and the alignment was checked. He told me that Nissan's are known for their "pulling to the right". I do understand that some cars have torque steer that will pull them to the right, but it was doing it when ... Read More

2001 Altima Surges
I just recently purchased a 2001 altima GXE with only 28.5k miles. Beatiful car, however, I seem to be having problems. When I am on about 39 or 40 mph, it seems to surge. Like it is choking. Just slightly. Not hard, but enough to become annoying. The nissan service manager says that this is normal becuase it is going into over drive and all altima gxe does this around the ... Read More

engine stalling
Been there, done that. I am the owner of a 1996 Altima that currently has 181,000 miles on the odometer. The high mileage is mostly highway. The stalling problem is fairly common on this car and it is the distributor. This is really expensive. Expect to pay $500 to $900 for labor and the cost of the part. Nissan distributors are made by Hitachi and they have a high rate of ... Read More

After shopping a while, I went with a 2002 Grand Prix GTP. MSRP was $28,240, got it for $22k in change. There is a $3k mfg rebate on this car that just ended and 0% financing. Yes, the Altima and Max are newer and more refined with better interiors, but for $22k and the better peformance I couldn't pass this deal up. Plus I got a 2 door coupe, something Altima ...

Go with the Nissan Altima
Some guys at work had the previous generation Galants and all said the car was awful. They couldn't wait till the leases ended to dump those puppies. On the other hand, down here in south florida, I see a lot of that generation of Altima's on the streets. We also have a 2001 Altima and it's been quite good, considering I'm a diehard Toyotaist. Just one mans opinion! The Sandman :-) ... Read More

Timing Chain
I'm working on my 3rd Nissan. The thing that I like about the engine is the timing chain (versus a belt on other engines that might need replacing at 60k - 100k miles). My 1991 Stanza was running great with 184k miles on the original timing chain, until it was totaled by a rear collision last week. I expect the same use out of my 2001 Altima (21k miles).

Nissan should really focus on safety....
...because of the recent crash test scores! I don't care if Honda and Toyota don't offer ABS standard on their cars, Nissan should set an example for the big Japanese manuafacturers and make ABS standard. When Nissan begans adding little nifty safety and convenience features standard while keeping a good price, they will beat Toyota and Honda at their own game. Now if Toyota and Honda were to make ABS standard ... Read More

I have owned all three
I do all my own maintenance to include major work and I vote Toyota as the easiest, Nissan second and Honda Last. Honda makes it hard to do many of what I would consider easy maintenance tasks like changing a timing belt without getting very specialized tools that would normally not be needed. Also, Honda and Nissan parts have always cost me more than Toyota parts. They all build good cars, ... Read More

'03-'04 Maxima
The 2003 Nissan Max will be built on the same plateform as the Infinity Q45. That is completely wrong. The new Maxima will be based on the Altima platform and built in Smyrna. No word on whether it will be RWD, but my opinion is that it will be FWD with an AWD option. If it were going to be RWD, it would probably be built on the FM platform (G35, ... Read More

Road test
Nissan finally has a winner in the new Altima. In fact, it looks like the Altima will primarily cannabalize the tired Maxima. I was shocked to find the 2002 "old" Accord prevailed in the December 2001 Car and Driver showdown with the new Altima and Camry: http://www.forbes.com/2001/11/30/1203flint.html

C&D ... so?
So what that C&D ranked the Accord first and the Altima third? Drive the cars yourself. I used to take C&D's reviews like it was the bible, but back in 1996, one drive of the Honda Accord, Toyota Camry and Nissan Maxima made me realize that the Maxima was the best car out of the three. My bro was shopping at the time and he bought the Max. C&D in 1995 ... Read More

I'm a huge nissan fan too...that's the sad part
It wasn't just a Nissan PR guy who claimed the Passat as a benchmark. Back at the introduction of the Altima Nissan's CEO stated that the Passat was the benchmark for the car inside and out.

I know that the G35 is rear-wheel drive. That's why I noted it was Skyline-derived. I agree that I'd rather buy a G35 than an Altima or Maxima . . . however, I don't intend to replace a 2002 Altima with a 2004 G35, and presumably neither do you. Personally, there's no way I'd buy the 2002 Altima right now . . . not when I can get an equivalent 2002 ... Read More
