1997 Nissan Altima GXE Review
ProsSolid build quality, good fuel mileage ConsDull exterior and interior, showing its age

Good, Solid Car. — I bought the car used in late 2004 with 86,000 miles. The car currently has over 130,000. Acceleration is brisk enough with plenty of low-end grunt. Build Quality is fairly good considering its age and mileage, few trouble spots. Appearance could be better; the design is typical mid-90's, and its age is showing in the paint and body panel fitment. The interior is fairly plain, gray on gray with little trim to offset it. Cost of Ownership has been very good, after fixing some trouble spots and neglected maintenance, the car has run basically trouble-free for years. Fun Factor is subjective, but I enjoy tossing the car around and driving it hard, and it's never let me down.

It Is Both Fast An Has Plenty Of Space So It Wold Be Nice For A Person With A Small Familly — i didnt own this car for very long unfortunetly but for the time i did have it it was one of the best cars ive owned. mine was a 5 speed so it made it real fun to drive, it picked up speed really well an braked just as good it was super nice on the outside an the inside, with a classy look to the interior. mine was super good on gas even tho ive herd that others r not as good. but then with out warning it just stalled out an would not start up, i looked thru every thing an replaced a bunch of things an still nothing, i brought the car to nissan an even they couldnt figure out what was wrong with it. so i gave up an got rid of it. while it did run tho it was a very fun car to drive more than likely just cuz it was standerd but hey what the hell right | ||

ProsFun to drive, safe and well built. ConsCoolant system seems a bit off

Great Car Worth Driving, All Nissan's Are! — This car is fun to drive, good acceleration, and smooth shifting. The interior is nothing fancy, but its nice, the AC is really cold in ours, its great. Gets about 25-30 mpg and does well in city driving. The build quality is ok, nothing major that you wouldn't expect with a car of this age. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) | ||

ProsVery sleek looks, comfortable, nice interior, reliable. ConsAir intake problems kept cropping up - mostly the O2 sensor(s), and once the manifold gasket slipped, which was an expensive repair (labor to get to it was rough).

ProsGreat handling, braking, and build quality. ConsSteering radius is crying out for help, and CV shafts tend to go out quicker. But hey, it's an 11-year-old car!

97 Nissan Altima — I love this car, it could have a little more get-up and go, but besides that the brakes are more than adequate and it handles great! Solid build quality, the interior never gets boring to stare at and it is not a "surprise!" car like we all know Alfas can be. I added some H&R springs, Tokico struts, Nissan Sentra SE-R 17's, a Magnaflow muffler and K&N intake, and a Fidanza short-throw shifter, couldn't be happier! |
