2002 Nissan Altima SL review from North America
"A great sporty family sedan"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Malfunctioning trunk latch.
Passenger side windows would not fully operate.
Little buzzing sound that lets you know that you left your lights on doesn't work.
All of this was fixed under warranty.
Nissan have got to work on their electrical systems a bit better, the same problems I have had in my 02' Altima I have experienced in my old 00' Altima.
General comments?
You get a lot of standard equipment for your money.
A relatively fast machine for a midsize sedan, but it's passing power is subpar.
I love Nissans, I have owned 2 previous Altimas (97', 00') and I will continue to buy Nissans till I leave this earth.
