Used 1997 Nissan Altima Consumer Reviews
Love it!

Altimax
Bought Champagne GLE on a whim after Honda dealer jerked me around buying my 3rd Honda. Never drove a Nissan before, and Altima seemed like a big step up from Civic EX. Mfg was paying Mass excise tax for life of lease, that was swaying factor. Car itself, while comfy, wasn't much fun to drive, and economy was dreadful. Too small an engine dragging around a porker. Dealer brochure showed a 97 with auto climate control and CD, ended up with a decontented 97.5 with manual A/C and no CD.

Reliable Family Car
This car is very reliable, I have over 104,000 mile on her and she's still running STRONG!!! Only complaint is that when you open the glovebox everything falls out!
97 Nissan Altima
Nice car, reliable, hard to find after market parts, needs the jaws of life to get the damn front door open.
Great Car but beware of certain Dealers
After buying the car in Apr. 1998 for $13k I am happy i have put 140K miles on the car to a total of 174K miles. As with some reviews my car has dash gremlins which can be obnoxious. In the past month I have had the shock joints changed and the battery cables replaced. Carriage Nissan's service has been very unsatisfactory. The car has had electrical problems since the replacement of the battery cables. Leaving me stranded twice. I hop after the fourth set of battery cables that it is fixed. Other than that every thing seems to working great.
