1996 Nissan Altima GXE review from North America
"The most reliable car I ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front brakes replaced at 75,000, rear brakes replaced at 100,000 miles.
Leaking exhaust gasket was replaced at 110,000 miles.
Catalytic Converter and muffler was replaced at 115,000.
General comments?
Excellent car. This car has always started, and has never left me stranded. The car is peppy, comfortable and rides like it is still new at 115,000 miles. Other than changing the fluids religiously, brakes near the 100k mark, and a few other minor issues, the car has performed flawlessly. I continue to get decent gas mileage, and love not having a car payment.
