1998 Nissan Altima GXE review from North America
"The Altima will take you to the 100,000 mile club with no difficulty."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car makes a slight squeak when I shift gears or put the pedal down for increased power.
Slight decrease in power from the engine after 6.5 years driving it.
Oncoming cars occassionally think I have my brights on when I don't.
General comments?
This car is completely reliable. I can't kill it. Still running strong.
It does an adequate job braking and its engine allows for easing passing when I downshift.
My problem with it is that I've grown bored after 6 and 1/2 years and over 134,000 miles on it. Marriages should last forever, not cars!
