1993 Nissan Altima GXE review from North America
"A good buy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This car hasn't had any major problems in 200,000 miles. The Rubber bushings for the radiator support were replaced at 180,000, along with a complete Fluid systems flush (Engine, Trans, Steering, brakes Etc.) Car has 200,250 miles on it and the fuel pump has just failed due to abuse (Running the tank empty on a regular basis). The clutch is still original and has never been replaces. The throwout bearing is now making noise, but since the disc is still good, it's staying like it is.
I strongly recommend searching for Organic brake pads for this car to eliminate this car's tendency of having warped rotors if you aren't auto crossing or rallying this car.
General comments?
This car is reliable.
Has some quirks (Like the common clicking heat controls)
Reliability above average.
Replace the semi-Metallic pads with Organic pads to eliminate brake rotor warping that is a problem on these cars.
