Review: My 1999 Nissan Altima was the first car I ever bought by myself, and let me tell you that I couldn't be happier. She is six years old now and has (gulp) 94,000 miles on her. The only problem she has is that every now and then the air conditioner takes ...

Pros: Overall solid car for a low price!

Cons: None that I've seen so far!

Cons: cd player, maybe? a clunking sound when you brake,a whining engine.

Review: My family has a 1999 Altima GLE. This car was a replacement for a 1990 Camry, and boy was it a step up. The one we purchased was a GLE, luxury model. Since the car is primarily my mother's, I hadn't driven it much until the last few weeks when it was...

Pros: Just read the article!

Cons: Some road noise still, as with previous models.

Review: After owning an Altima GXE from 1993 to 1996, then moving on to a Pathfinder, the next choice was definitely an Altima once again. The newly redesigned and engineered Altima has more horse-power than ever before and is especially noticeable with the...
