2002 Nissan Altima 3.5 SE review from North America
"Excellent sporty family sedan. Get the 3.5 SE though"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only problem I have had with this car so far is the poor paint job it seems to have. I have read else where that Nissan just seems to have problems when it comes to the paint on their cars. My problem area is on the back bumper area where the paint bubbles up in spots and has chipped in other spots.
General comments?
This car drives and handles great.
Coming from a minivan which had a V6 and only got 19 to 20 mpg my Altima gets anywhere from 22 to 26 mpg with a more powerful engine.
I love this car and would get another one in a second if I could.

| I feel it is a lemon; it should not have had such major problems just after the warranty expired |
