1997 Nissan Altima 1997.5 Limited Edition review from North America
"A wonderful car at a wonderful price!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission went bad in 2002.
CV shaft needed replaced in 2003.
A piece of the interior trim has come loose.
General comments?
This car can be sluggish off the line, but otherwise is surprisingly fast.
Highway passing is generally smooth and quick.
At first I was unsure whether I liked the body style, but it has grown on me and now I love my bubble car!
The trunk is enormous, perfect for groceries or stereo equipment (or both)!
For what I paid for this car, sometimes I feel guilty like I stole it - a great bargain!
