2001 Nissan Altima GXE-limited edition review from North America
"Excellent value, good car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing. The window regulators were replaced for free by dealer when we went in to get a key duplicate, very satisfied by service department because we didn't know they needed replacement. There was some condensation in the headlight and a blown speaker. Carmax replaced both for free.
General comments?
This car is great. It's my first car. It's used as my school car. It starts up first time always. The interior is nice, good quality materials, and pretty roomy given the size of the car. The exterior is fine, normal car.
Engine: good pep and low RPM torque. Sounds nice above 3500 RPM.
The transmission (mine is an auto) could use some taller gearing because at 65 mph it's turning between 2600-2900RPM depending on its mood.
There is a little wind noise at high speeds.
Big trunk.
Mine came with a custom stereo and additional 6-CD changer
Overall great car. 9/10.
