Faults:

The transmission needed to be replaced at 66,000 miles.

Exterior paint scratched up.

General Comments:

The car is quiet, but the seals around the doors are loose, making the car noisier at higher speeds.

The suspension feels a little bumpy and makes squeaking noises if I'm listening really close. Maybe it's not oiled well?

Acceleration/power is adequate, but not particularly fast or peppy or strong. It's no Mazda.

Faults:

Wind noise at highway speed around front drivers and passengers windows.

Took to dealer (where I bought it) who did nothing except to inform me that the cause of the noise was the mirrors!! Give me a break.

Rear carpet came apart from under the door panel.

Rough riding on all, but the smoothest of roads.

Uses more gas than one would expect for a 4 cylinder.

Other than that the thing is bulletproof!

General Comments:

Excellent car overall, good for someone who just wants a car with low maintenance.

Put over 90,000kms on it with the original brakes, exhaust, front end, even lights.

Good power and never uses oil.

Highly recommend the car.

Dealer service not the best. They even called me just before the warranty ran out, but still refused to deal with the cabin noise! Maybe it's a common problem.

Faults:

Nothing. The window regulators were replaced for free by dealer when we went in to get a key duplicate, very satisfied by service department because we didn't know they needed replacement. There was some condensation in the headlight and a blown speaker. Carmax replaced both for free.

General Comments:

This car is great. It's my first car. It's used as my school car. It starts up first time always. The interior is nice, good quality materials, and pretty roomy given the size of the car. The exterior is fine, normal car.

Engine: good pep and low RPM torque. Sounds nice above 3500 RPM.

The transmission (mine is an auto) could use some taller gearing because at 65 mph it's turning between 2600-2900RPM depending on its mood.

There is a little wind noise at high speeds.

Big trunk.

Mine came with a custom stereo and additional 6-CD changer

Overall great car. 9/10.

Faults:

Window regulator replaced. However I got a letter saying that Nissan will replace all regulators in certain states. I live in Texas. This is applicable in several states and does not matter if you have warranty coverage or not. Love Nissan!!!

I feel safe and know I will buy another Altima in the future!
