This was my first car.  The leather, Bose, moonroof were all great.  The Stereo was the best one I've heard, others say the same about it.  The 2.5L inline 4 was pretty peppy, I would always shift it using the gated shifter.  I would run it at 65 in 3rd and not know I wasn't in 4th...  :)  it's nice that I couldn't hear the engine then, but that was just because of my music blasting.  The guage cluster looked great, lined in chrome, lite up orange.  I had auto lights on it (becaus it was the SL) so I never had to worry about leaving them on.  When ever I see an Altima on the road now I always check to ensure that mine was nicer.  The car did not have Traction control, so It was not the best in the snow...  I often wish I still had this car, but I got a 2006 Hyundai Sonata GLS with the 3.3L V6.    Oh and it averaged 29 MPGs.

Pros — Looks, Stereo, Leather, Ride, DANG IT HANDLED GREAT, nice cockpit layout
Cons — I don't have it anymore :{  only had a 4-speed transmission, mine was used
