1998 Nissan Altima GXE review from North America
"A pretty decent car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Premature brake wear.
Air conditioner stopped working a couple years ago.
Power steering pump needed to be replaced.
Repeatedly required wheel alignment.
General comments?
Handling feels agile and responsive.
Acceleration is a little slow though.
The interior fit and finish could have been better but it's not too bad.
The seats feel a bit cramped in comparison to most other four door sedans.
