2001 Nissan Altima S review from North America
"Very nice sports sedan"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Was just made aware of a recall for the rear sub-frame (being fixed today).
General comments?
Nice roomy car, huge upgrade in comfort from my 1995 Toyota Corolla.
Corners well up to about 45 mph. Starts to squeal and lose traction above that. Would probably handle better with better performance tires.
Lots of low-end torque. Acceleration from a dead stop is very quick and responsive.
Very sporty looking car for a mid-size sedan.
Expansive trunk space, which is made even better by the 60/40 split of the back seats.
