I wish I still had this car. Though it may be nostalgia as much as anything. 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.

2000 Used Nissan Altima GXE: Very Nice, Comfortable Ride I got to drive this car for about 20min, and it drove pretty good. It had lots of power, the handling is great too. Thanks Vasyl! :D

2000 Used Nissan Altima GXE: A+ Fast car, if only it was rear wheel drive.

2000 Used Nissan Altima SE: Intake manifold gasket goes out every 20,000 miles. Overall not a bad car, I found out the intake manifold gasket on 2000 and 2001 Altima's goes out regularly, and its about $400-$800 to fix. Looks sharp with the spoiler and 16 inch wheels.
