1994 Nissan Altima Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 1994 Nissan Altima appreciate its reliability, low maintenance costs, and good handling. Many drivers are impressed with its surprising power for an older model and decent gas mileage. However, a common concern is the oil pump problem that some drivers have experienced. Comfort and speed were areas of disappointment for a few, with some noting a lack of excitement and issues with finding a comfortable driving position."
It was spunky and reliable. We still have it and it has most of its orignal parts with exception to the distributor that went bad my senior year of high school. Never had major problems outof the car and it's still kicking. Just as spunky as the day we bought it.
October 7, 2009It's not a very exciting car, really slow with an automatic transmission, but it does have a lot of grip. It's hard to get comfortable, can't find a good compromise between the steering and pedal distance. The car's been in the family for 13 years, it didn't have many major problems until the last year, where it wouldn't pass emissions, $300 later it passed, got the tabs and promptly traded it in. But other than that it was pretty dependable. It averaged about 24 MPG during its time with us.
May 1, 2008I think this car runs great. For a 13 year old car.. it looks great and runs great. Only thing why do all altimas have an oil pump problem? I LOVE MY CAR!

May 22, 2007I love the way it feels to be behind the wheel. It's like home. But I miss my 1993 manual Altima - it had alot more pick-up. These cars last forever if you treat them well. It gets pretty good gas mileage but I'm dreaming of a Prius.
June 24, 2008i bought it as a used, but good interior, no leaking sunroof, all i need for this car is a fuel bump, new battery, new tires, mp3 player, 4 speakers, new headlight and thats it, nothing else. Gas saving in its class, good handling, just a tiny bit of understeering.
January 30, 2008It has surprising power for its age and small engine. The 2.4L 4 cylinder engine puts out around 160-170hp and about the same torque, I know that doesn't sound like a lot but the car is fairly light so it can go pretty quick. The Falken Ziex ZE-512 tires I have on it gives it amazing grip on all road conditions too. Obviously its no sports car, but with some hard work and a lot of money it can be a contender on the track.
March 28, 2008Replaced clutch, distributor, radiator, starter, alternator, right & left drive shafts exchanged (boots), new valve cover gasket, timing belt, oxygen sensor, batteries and tires, 190,000 miles. This is a fun car to drive and would get a newer one if they hadn't jacked the price up so much?
