1997 Nissan Altima GXE 2.4 twin cam from North America
Summary:
Looking for another one for my elderly mom; that says enough
Faults:
Bought the car, which didn't run to save its life. Three hundred dollars for parts, and the car runs pretty smooth for still not being done.
Mass air flow, knock sensor, crankshaft positioning sensor, CV joint (driver's side), fuel filter, trans filter and fluid, oil filter and fluid, plugs, wires, distributor cap and rotor. Still doesn't like stopping and idling, but will bang out 70-75 up hill in low 2. Can't wait till the car is perfect to see just how fast it really is.
General Comments:
The car rocks; plenty of power if driven like you stole it.
Pretty good handling for bald tires and bad shocks.
Motor mounts don't last long due to too much torque.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

It won't idle when stopped because it needs an intake manifold gasket. It's the only major fault with these cars.
