1994 Nissan Altima SE review from North America

"A great performance, high value car worth buying"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Belts cracked and needed to be replaced at 105400 miles. Cost was 150$.

The engine check light flashes for a few seconds on long highway drives and the engine temperature needle flickers between absolutely cool to medium hot. Need to get that checked.

The front passenger side speaker makes a continuous crackling noise after 45 to 60 minutes of CD playing. I am sure it is not the CD player or the CD's themselves.

General comments?

This is the first car I owned and it's a pleasure to drive it. I got a U-Haul hitch attached and drove the car with a 5ft by 8ft trailer from Kansas City to Iowa, and the car pulled effortlessly. I also drove it from Iowa to Madison, Madison to Chicago and back, and back from Madison to Iowa withing 3 days without ever feeling I drove that much. Great overall ride.

Car drives amazing at even 95 to 105 mph and the ride is very comfortable.

Great interior and exterior looks. I have an SE with all the works - fog lamps, sunroof and moonroof, spoilers, power everything and 15 inch alloys.

I put xenon bulbs in the headlamps, fog lamps and the smaller lamps next to the headlamps. Once I get more money, I plan to put a body kit on it with 17 inch alloys.

This car being almost 10 years old shows no signs of rust, though I am getting a rust treatment and wax done at the dealer to be on the safe side. Definitely much better than Toyota's and Honda's of it's time.

I would buy another Nissan, but I don't like the looks of their latest 2002-2003 models.
