Used 2003 Nissan Altima 3.5 SE for Sale near Richmond, BC

I love everything about this car! When it's time to buy a new one, I will buy another Nissan Altima. Easy to drive and handle. Love the speed! Car responds quickly! Great on gas, and as long as you keep up on regular maintenance, car will last for a long time!

Well I bought this car for the motor. It's almost bullet proof. the vq35de motor is the vq30de evolved, think nissan 300zx. The Nissan V6 is in everything from their minivan to the 350z. Power is excellent with 245hp and weighting in around 3,200lbs which gives it almost 13lbs per horsepower ratio. The car is perfect for my family of 4 and extremely roomy. Trunk space is huge and both windows up front having auto up /down is nice too. Hold unlock on the key fob and both front windows go down. Now the negative...the build quality of the interior isn't the greatest nothing major and it really doesn't even bother me. Tires...tires...tires, it eats them! the 4 speed automatic is very weak as I'm on my 2nd one. BUY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY as my transmission died at 75k. Torque steer is severe (this is when you smash the gas and the car jumps to the right). Long trips you will almost get 30mpg and mixed driving I get anywhere from 18- 24mpg premium gas is preferred! Car is a total blast to drive specially on the highway as you have more than enough power to merge or make that quick pass!

I got this car for graduation and now drive it daily, it has a surprising amount of power and if you aren't careful you'll be going 100+mph before you know it.

Solid chassis. Somewhat cheap interior materials, mostly to not eclipse Infiniti G35. Motor feels powerful, but car seems to suffocate under 4000 RPM and lower than 50 MPH. Averages 20 mpg city, 25 highway. Not great, but not awful. Buy performance front shocks. The stock ones don't track well if they hit road variations while cornering. Trunk is huge and back seat is cavernous compared to same class cars, Accord and Camry.

This car was the first MY of that generation. The motor is the same as what is in the 350Z. Had good gas mileage, but it is simply a family car. Not fun to drive. Good family car though, would recommend for someone who wants something reliable and has good power. Was good for long trips. Comfortable ride.
