2003 Nissan Altima S review from North America
"Can't hold a candle to Honda or Toyota"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Throttle body sensor failed...$900.00 repair.
Tachometer failed at about 50,000 miles, unheard of...$400.00 if I want to replace it.
General comments?
The car has plenty of zip, but major components that should fail do. I'd like to sell it, but I owe too much on it.
The interior is poorly designed and uncomfortable.
