The Nissan Altima was refreshed for 2000, receiving larger tires, a remodeled front and rear end, side airbags, a new dashboard, and rear cupholders. The Altima's engine also got an additional five horsepower.
The 2000 Altima came in four trim levels: the base XE, the midrange GXE, the sporty SE, and the luxurious GLE. The GXE was the most popular model, and the GLE came standard with leather seating and a power driver's seat. All Altimas in the lineup shared a 2.4 liter, 155 horsepower four cylinder engine. Fuel economy is 21/29 mpg.
Drivers like the 2000 Altima because it is a good value, gets good gas mileage, is comfortable to drive, and is very reliable. Some owners complain that it is a little bland, and there are some complaints about excessive road noise.
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2000 Nissan Altima seem to really enjoy its fun driving experience, reliability, and great gas mileage, particularly appreciating how well it performs for an older model. However, some drivers have noted the car's performance can feel underpowered compared to modern alternatives, and there are frustrations regarding the availability and cost of spare parts."
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.
August 11, 2008Love it especially gas mileage. Inside is roomier than expected. has all the options you need power is sufficient shifting is smooth and maintenance costs are low. would highly recommend this car to anyone. better made than the newer models
October 11, 2014The 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.

April 21, 2015Stock 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.
September 11, 2010I think the car fits me well. I think it is great for people who have kids and don't want the mini van. It has a large trunk and you can still add modifications to make it look sporty. It's a great car as long as you keep the right fluids in it and perform oil changes on time.
August 12, 2009bought this car brand new. Its a really good car. Never had any problems with it. Now has over 110,000 miles on it and still running like new. Bought it for 200 bucks. And the car is fun to drive. Will def recommend it to any one. got good turn radius
August 8, 2008I Love It. It runs like a charm. It has 115,000 miles, but runs good. The o2 sensor is going, but hey? what so you expect after 115,000 miles? The car is fun to drive and is good on gas. I dont know what else to say. Its a great car.
September 11, 2008I hate that there are no cheap spare parts. The main controller of the power windows is starting to fail, and the only option I have is the Official Dealership. A very fun car to drive, really. Very fast on the road.
June 1, 2009Very reliable, but only good when the kids are young! Not enough room now that they are getting older!
June 24, 2008Fast car, if only it was rear wheel drive.
