Harder on gas than I expected.
Replaced brakes.
Replaced muffler.
Car is great. Compared to other vehicles I have driven / owned, there is very little to worry about when driving. I have total confidence in this car. There has been very little service required except for the normal fluid changes, brake changes, and exhaust changes.
The 1995 Nissan Altima GXE is a very reliable vehicle. I've owned one for the last 2 years and have put over 30,000 commute miles on it. The car has approximately 112,000 miles - mostly highway - according the original owner. I've only had to invest about $700 into the vehicle which was primarily a tune-up (belts, hoses, plugs, distributor cap) and some small non-mechanical repairs. Most recently, I replaced the Oxygen Sensor for $21.99, in order to have the car pass California Emission Testing.
Runs great, but for a tall guy (6'3"+) those long commutes do get kind of crampy.
My advisory, pick one up today and drive the heck out of it tomorrow! They will run forever if properly maintained.
My altima has been pretty good, but sometimes the accelerator gets stuck and the gears get stuck between 1and 2nd I don't know why. The brakes are the best I have used and overall the car is perfect. I would recommend it as a used car. It will last forever!
