1994 Nissan Altima GXE review from North America
"I love driving this car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The distributor is a constant issue with the 2.4L motor. the O-ring in the head tends to go bad causing oil to get into the distributor.
The fuel injectors also have a problem when the o-rings go bad over time causing the motor to flood itself.
The center console armrest is very uncomfortable because of it being made out of plastic and not being padded.
General comments?
The car is very comfortable to drive.
The automatic trans is a little sluggish if you want a quick response from the car, but overall I have never had any problems with it.
The car is very quick however at the 150hp rating at the crank for a 4door family car made back in the early 90's.
