1996 Nissan Altima review from North America
"I hate this car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The paint is chipping off in many areas.
Seats are showing signs of wear.
Engine has already been replaced with a 1994 engine.
The car will not start up unless I have the car in neutral.
General comments?
I have had other Nissan's, this one by far is the worse.
Cup holders were missing when I bought the car.
Trunk leaks.
Car idles badly.
I have had cars that have better gas mileage.
I cannot pressure wash the car, as the paint will just flake off.
