Perfect!! Drove it for 6 years and one of the best cars I have driven.

For the Year (96') its a badass car. I mean the handling and Accel, are amazing. If i take off hard it shifts out of 1st gear at a high rpm, which in my eyes is awesome. All and All there is nothing wrong with it, beside the fact that it has 150,000 miles in it thats the only not so great thing. Its alot of fun to drive

handles awesome, quick mid to top speed acceleration.
slow from a start, but quick once its moving
built to last, styling is nice, good gas mileage, cheap to maintain, has some performance options out there
one of the best cars in its class and the name is still around today, bringing an even better altima into the game

I bought this car car when it was 6 years
old. I have it for almost 8 years now and
I still love it. It still runs smoothly.
The body is still clean with only tiny
(less than 1/2 inch) rust spots. Gas
mileage is still great (27 - 28 mpg) with
a majority of highway driving. In the
years I've had it, had to replace
muffler, CO2 sensor and catalytic
converter. Otherwise, all i pay for are
oil changes and gas. I'm at 160k miles
now and i'm sure it will get to 200k.

It was my first car. I had to love it. As an economy import, the Altima represents a mildly
classy interior with an average exterior appearance for the year. The seats were notably
comfortable. While it may not stand out in a crowd, reliability was very important as this
was previously my dad's ride. Having high mileage didn't stop it from getting me from one
place to the next with more style than my friends who were driving older, uglier cars. It
may not be anyone's dream car, but the Nissan Altima is a great start.
