2000 Nissan Altima GXE review from North America
"Always thirsty for gas, but still a good car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Seats have started to wear badly and I ordered a set of leather seat covers.
Changed brake pads.
General comments?
This is a nice car to drive. Although it's not the fastest car around, it gives the adequate torque when needed. My biggest issue with this car is the gas mileage I get from it.
Before purchasing the car, I read some comments about buying a gas guzzler, but not to this extent. I get about 18-21 and I know it's not normal. My 1999 Camry had better mileage than the Altima. I went to a mechanic who told me it was normal since it was a four banger with a 2.4 L. I can never go 5 days without refueling and I keep my speed under speed limit.
Other than that, it is a great car and even if it's five years old, it still drives pretty well. A bit noisy when I hit bump, but still a nice ride.
