1998 Nissan Altima GXE review from North America
"A very reliable car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing. In almost 4 years of operation there was not a single mechanical problem with the car.
General comments?
This car is not expensive and has an excellent build quality. It turned out to be the most reliable new car I ever had - better than Honda Civic and BMW 330.
Acceleration is quite adequate, road handling is about average, turn radius is worse than average.
Gas mileage averaged around 25MPG for city-highway driving.
I am not very fond of its exterior design, but the interior is very well done for an inexpensive car.
