I’m a Nissan Altima driver. I bought my first brand new Altima, but not first Nissan in 2005. Paid cash for it because I had the money at the time. It was loaded. It was black with black heated leather seats, Bose Stereo system, Sun Roof, and other features. When I bought it, I had them put a protective coating on the underside of the car. That car never left me stranded anywhere...never broke down on the road. Other than oil changes, new battery, tires, brakes, and normal maintenance every three months, the most expensive repair that occurred, was the replacement of the A/C compressor after 10 years. I had that car for 15 years when I traded it in to lease my first Nissan. I got rid of it because at the time I was driving from Central New York State to Indianapolis, Indiana to visit my son, and I didn’t want to take the chance of the car having problems out-of-state. The car had about 112,000 miles on it, along with the original muffler system. It was the best car I ever had. Didn’t owe me a penny. I’m two years in on my second leased Nissan, and this model is the only one I will ever drive until I can’t drive anymore.
My niece wasn’t so lucky.
Her white 2005 Alima broke..then broke again.
Anything in the car that was able to break broke.
She wised up after that experience and bought a corolla.
I myself owed a beautiful
Black Infiniti J30.
Car was pretty frigging nice, built during the Nissan glory Era and even that car broke then broke again...and agin.
My previous Toyota Supra went 350,000 miles with just tires,pads and battery replacement.
Even the clutch and exhaust never failed.
I’m sticking with Toyota till I die.
An opposite Nissan story was my buddy Bob’s Sentra from ..probably a 1983 model
THAT Car was destruction proof.
I have never seen a car go through the hell that car went through and still reliable get you home every night.
Got me from Boston to Miami and back a few times when it wasn’t busy climbing rugged mountain trails or driving down steep ski slopes or surviving 4 years of absoulute college mayhem.
A pretty impressive vehicle that ‘83 Sentra was..
