2002 Nissan Altima 3.5 SE review from North America
"Good and fast"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have only had the car for a short amount of time (2 months) and in the process of red lining it and such, the car has never failed. Right now I have a few mods on there such as the exhaust, intake, and headers (which I really recommend). I think one annoying part about the car is that my seat squeeks when cornering fast. Also not to mention this thing sucks gas. I get about 13 mpg on street, but 32 on freeway. I drive almost completely street.
General comments?
This car wit ha few upgrades is very fast. I have the 5 speed manual and with the aforementioned parts above, I'm pumping out approximately 240whp which is the same as the 350z.
