2002 Nissan Altima S review from North America
"Great car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I'm very sorry to hear all the bad comments about this car. It is my third Nissan and I haven't had any problems with them.
With this Altima I had the repeated blowing of one headlamp; which was a recall and dealer was very helpful to replace it.
My wife also drives an Altima and it has been as reliable as mine, so no complaints on that one either.
General comments?
Very comfortable, quick acceleration.
The sitting position is not very European; it is rather on the lazy side, but it's no big issue.
The car has now 115k miles, and runs as well as when I got it years ago.
I guess I got one of the good ones.
