2003 Nissan Altima 2.5s review from North America
"Reliable and strong engine"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 25000 miles had to change front left speaker, at 60000 replaced shocks and brakes. If you Take care of your car your car will be reliable.
General comments?
This car is just great its quick and handles very well. I work at a Chevy, VW dealership and I can tell you this car handles and performs better than many 6 cyl from chevy and its even faster than a 1.8t form VW. altough the interior is not as refined as the passat or jetta the altima is way more reliable than any of them. according to identifix AIS (Automotive Information Systems) for top-notch reliability data the altima is a reliable car and you will find that the altima is more reliable than even the toyota camry.
