Used 1993 Nissan Altima Consumer Reviews
Reliable
I've had my Altima for almost 5 years. With over 175,000 miles on it, I have only had to replace a starter, breaks, a few belts, and the front axles. The axles were only about $100 a piece. I have driven this car across country numerous times and it never fails me. If you see a good deal on an Altima, take it.
Cannot Get Rid of It
I think about getting a different vehicle, but my 93 Altima won't let me! I haven't spent a dollar on it with the exception of tires, brakes, and general maintenance. I couldn't even change the timing belt on it, because the rubber belt doesn't exist! Engine is dynamite, it is quick, responsive.............cannot get rid of it.
altima is awesome
One owner, no problems, can't come to sell even though I want a new car vehicle. Maybe a pathfinder some day
Not so good experience

Am/Fm/Cd dash lights no longer work Water Pump: Original corroded and damaged belts too @ 125K. Distributor: Changed at 144K. Timing chain noise: Fixed at 145K Power steering hose leakage at all of the joins around 130K
One of the best
Over the past 9 years, my Nissan Altima has been very reliable. I previously had a Sentra GXE and my husband has a Frontier crew cab. Like all other vehicles, it does need regular checks, tune ups, tire rotation/changes, oil changes,etc. My only problem has been with the seat belt; it tends to tighten up regularly and trap you in the seat. Only the emergency release helps you in circumstances like these. Overall, I rate Nissans very highly.
