1994 Nissan Altima GXE review from North America
"Could be one of the best built cars ever made!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator.
Exhaust.
Brakes.
Belts.
AC/Heat only work on high (145,000)
Paint starting to fade in 2003.
General comments?
These are great looking, great driving and super low maintenance cars. The above mentioned represents the only problems I have had with this automobile in 7 years and through 120,000 miles.
This car steers responsive and reacts responsive.
The only thing this vehicle lacked up till the new models has been power. At 120 - 140 HP the car is just a little less than potent even though it is hot off the line. Not a real sacrifice at this price point.
The back seat also leaves a little to be desired in leg room, but so many do.
All in all this is a great car that still resides in my driveway and has earned itself a new paint job for being so darn reliable.
If you find one of these with low miles, buy it!
