1994 Nissan Altima GXE review from North America
"A great first car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The CV joints were replaced.
The cruise control quit at 51,000 miles.
Front grill/bumper paint chip and fade.
Hubcaps are prone to fall off. They also chip horribly.
General comments?
Over all this is an excellent car. This is my first car and it has behaved very well. From a complete stop, the car is modestly quick, it also corners great, and stops on a dime. It rolls at 85 mph effortlessly. If Nissan did as well of a job on the newer Altimas, I'd definitely consider purchasing another.
