2004 Nissan Altima review from North America
"I would reconsider buying a Nissan."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When braking hard car screeches.
When braking hard car also locks and fishtails because front seems heavy and dips low.
Upon stopping at a light, then hitting the accelerator, the car screeches.
Brakes squeak when slowing down.
When driving on rough surfaces, bridges with steel grating, etc. car is uncontrollable. It seems to glide and float.
Overall performance of car is poor.
General comments?
The new interior is stylish and very roomy.
The built-in antenna in the window for the radio doesn't work well, there is lots of static.
I have owned 2 previous Altimas which handled great unlike the new one.
