1998 Nissan Altima GXE review from North America
"Great car for a great price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The first week I had the car it died on me. Turns out the battery was on it's last legs and I was the one to replace it.
I also had to replace the brakes 9 times. I do not blame the car for this, but rather the people working on it. My advice would be to go to a Nissan dealership if you need work done. This is what the people who serviced my car also said.
General comments?
I love this car. In fact I don't ever want to get rid of it, but unfortunately our family has out grown it.
My Altima has been the most reliable car I have ever owned. I have put very little money into it and maintained it well.
If you are looking for a good reliable car that is eye appealing as well as fast, I suggest an Altima.
