2003 Nissan Altima SE review from North America
"Great value and dependable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Only problem I had was the brake rotors needed resurfacing at 7,000 miles - covered under warranty.
General comments?
This car is a sleeper. Aside from the engine which is a thrill, it is a very roomy and comfortable vehicle.
Reliability has been excellent.
A great value for us - $23,800 purchase price (with an extended full coverage warranty with no deductible) and 0.9% financing!
Overall gas mileage is 23.
Our only complaint is the requirement for premium unleaded. The same engine (with higher horsepower & torque) is in the Maxima and it requires regular unleaded.
