2003 Nissan Altima S review from North America
"Excellent value for style and performance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Pin hole leak in the radiator.
General comments?
I bought this car as a previous Honda owner, and was I surprised when I did the test drive comparison to the Accord.
Very peppy with acceleration.
Braking very solid.
I love the 17 inch tires, as they give a much smoother ride than the Accord.
I love the interior and the styling of it.
The only problem has been that there was a pin-hole leak in the radiator at about 45,000, but I purchased the extended warranty and it cost me $25.
