2002 Nissan Altima 2.5 SL review from North America
"The best medium priced sedan money can buy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely nothing. I have just done the regular maintenance.
A small vibration on the left door speaker cured itself!!
General comments?
First I love the looks. I wish I had the money to spend for the 3.5 but even with the 2.5 performance is more than adequate. Handling is great and braking is powerful and linear. Suspension is sporty tuned so it is not the most comfortable ride, but again this is what we love!!
Yes the interior (dash) feels and maybe is cheaply done, but at least it looks a bit different from the usual 4 door competition. I am still under warranty so I really do not know the dealer costs. To sum it up I really love this car, and I think it is better than any competitor (import and local)
Please not that all the numbers are in Kilometers (long live the metric system!!)
