2000 Nissan Altima Reviews, Pricing & Specs

The Altima has taken me all over the place. I'm surprised by how much stuff can really fit and yet the car can still operate the same. Although it's only a 2.4L engine it was designed as a truck motor so it has an abundance of torque and power for the size of the car. The SE model is nice with leather and moonroof which makes the drives comfortable.Apr 21, 2015

performance? Laughable compared to most other vehicles but i like the steering and brake feel. feels very light. build quality? good enough. its got some odd squeaks and rattles but i think most of it is because it just over 200,000 miles on it and has been wrecked several times, aka hit Deer, hit black ice into ditch, someone drunk sideswiped it and numerous other animals. Appearance? not bad, rear looks kinda weird, like it was a hatchback then they decided to change it to a sedan by extending the back just a little bit. Cost of Ownership? good bough used very cheap. unfortunantly it need fixing up a bit. new timing belt, reworked brakes, and new engine mounts. gets very good gas mileage, as in 30-34 mpg. not bad. Fun Factor? For an old worn out car it is extremely fun to drive, underpowered but very peppy little engine, going through the gears is so much fun though, i think thats the funest part of it, kust feeling that wonderful steering and fun little engine windup then changing gears and doing it all over again!Oct 25, 2011

Stock the acceleration is mild for a 4 cylinder after my build I have added over 60whp and 40wtq as well as upgrading the whole car. It has tokico shocks hawk brake pads, a rear disc swap. I swapped it from an auto to a standard transmission. The gas mileage is still excellent approx. 24 mpg highway. I have nismo interior seats. Soon I am hoping to add another 200hp and 200 tq.Sep 11, 2010

This car was the last good Altima built. It features standard options with leather, decent performance for a car of its class, and is very reliable. The car has been pushed hard, and yet never showed any problems. Acceleration from 0-60 is between 9-10 seconds, which was okay for its time. The handling and breaking is impressive for a FWD sedan in its class. The design still holds well for an 8-year-old car. The new Altimas improved in designs and performance, but Nissan has degraded the materials they use to a subpar level. There have also bee reliability issues with the newer models. This is unfortunate for a company that use to build such great vehicles. Overall, this is a great car and I hope Nissan can recover from its recent mistakes.Aug 11, 2008

I think I broke facebook. I just typed a nice review and it deleted it. I will type it again anyway. This is Dusty, my first car. While I don't have much comparsion, just my 2003 Nissan Sentra, I really loved this car. I had no choice on her, my parents signed a lease, brought her home and handed me a bill. They wanted a new car because they wanted something that would start every day and that wouldn't cost me a ton in constant repairs. It fulfilled that requirement. In fact, all I did besides oil changes was a brake replacement (and since I was a new driver, it was probably just me) and fixing a flat or two (once again probably my new driver-ness and the amount of miles I put on the car). Compared to the Sentra, there are lots of nice asethic things I didn't realize how much I appreciated until I didn't have them anymore- I loved having cupholders in the middle (they didn't block the air/radio/console controls), I liked that the glove box locked (and didn't open with the valet key), and the fact that the radio had a bar that showed where the volume was at.Apr 16, 2008
