2001 Nissan Altima SE review from North America
"Over priced and high maintenance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The ABS sensors, the security system.
General comments?
This is the first and last purchase for me of a Nissan car. The maintenance on this car is just ridiculous and I am of the opinion that the dealership goes out of its way to take me to the cleaners every time I take my car in for service. Average bill is $500 per visit.
I find the ride extremely hard and not very comfortable. The leather was very cheap and for the price of the car I would say in hindsight, it was not worth it.
The only nice thing about this car is the acceleration. It is very zippy.
