1997 Nissan Altima GXE review from North America

When I got the car in June of 2006 I had to put $800 into it to pass emissions, but I only paid $1800 for it, so it was well worth the money. new CV joints December 2006.

This car is a very good car, I bought it as a salvage title and I didn't know that it was a salvage title when I bought it, but there was no damage that I noticed. for having 178,000 miles on it it runs like it only had 90,000...MY friend has a 1996 Honda Accord with 144,000 miles on it and my Altima shifts better. The trunk leaks, and I have to vaccum and Lysol the trunk out sometimes, but only once since I got it. The handling is great, and it handles superior! The interior is great also, but one design flaw was the cup holder place in front of the radio, but I have XM Radio installed and now I hardly ever even use the radio. The seats can get a little hard during long trips, I Drive from Atlanta to Savannah at least twice a month and I have never had a problem, the cruise control comes in handy on I-16 to Savannah, I usually set it at 87MPH and it drives smooth and great. I highly recommend this car to anyone, but a large person and a large family. I LOVE MY ALTIMA!! It's a great 1st car for me!! (16 years old)
