1995 Nissan Altima SE review from North America
"A reliable, economical, fun comfortable car that a family or two couples can use"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I purchased the car used, so one needs to expect "buyer beware". I did need to have a rebuilt transmission installed. However We also have a 98 Altima which is practically maintenance free. It was well worth the cost of the transmission.
General comments?
I love this car.
It rides well, is small enough yet extremely roomy for 4-5 passengers. The moon roof is always an added plus.
The car feels solid, not tiney.
In '95 Nisson hadn't quite figured out the cup holder/ashtray configuration, but it was doable.
I had the manual transmission and got 32-24 on the highway and 26-28 in town for MPG
I would recommend the Older Nisson SE to anyone, 1st driver or family.
