This car is a real money saver
I have owned my 1996 Nissan Altima since 2002 and have never had any problems with it. I just changed the CV boot and generator belt at 60,000 miles. It handles high speeds very well - I'm talking about 85 - 100 mph - and its greast off the line with a manual transmission. Overall this is great car: reliable, fun to drive, and keeps your wallet full.
Civic lovers beware...
I am 17 years old and this is pretty much my first car. Nissan gave the SE- R the SR20DE engine which is the same engine used in many japanese turbo performance applications. The engine has a long heritage of racing and street performance that nissan has brought to the US. This car is bomb proof and ultra reliable. Every aspect is fun about it (even working on it). The SE-R is fast and nimble which can easily compete with equivilant hondas (i.e. civic). If you like imports, this is a VERY good bet. Be careful of the performance bug (its easy to spend lots of money on upgrades for this car).
Saaawheet
Thios car is sweet it is very relibal i have aroud 130,000 miles on it and still runs the same it did when i drove it off the lot
Fun little sporty car!
Bought this car at 46K from a dealer in early 1999 - it's now at 123K. Have really enjoyed driving it. Lots of pep for a car that gets almost 40 MPG on the highway. Replaced alternator and starter at around 110K. Am giving it to my daughter who is in college away from home.
Fabulous Car!
I bought my car over a year and a half ago & I have put about 40,000 miles on it within a year. It is a dependable little car that is so much fun to drive & really cute. I am never getting rid of it!
