Overview & Reviews

The all-new third-generation 2002 Altima represents a total revision and rethinking of Nissan's midsize sedan -- it brings a level of design and performance that currently does not exist in its class. With a choice of a 240-horsepower, 3.5-liter V6 or 175-horsepower, 2.5-liter four-cylinder and an all-new four-wheel independent suspension, the Altima offers spirit with state-of-the-art technology. An aggressive new exterior design with increases in all major dimensions and a driver-oriented interior with myriad convenience and luxury features set the Altima apart in the highly competitive sedan marketplace.

• Sports car power in a midsize sedan body, high level of features, distinct new shape.

• All-new design could mean first-year teething problems and dealer mark-up.

  Great Car, Great Price - 2002 Nissan Altima
  By Manny - September 25 - 2:00 am

  I am extremely happy that I chose an Altima 2.5S. This car is step above the usual family sedan. It feels more like a sports sedan (ie: BMW 5 series, Audi A6). While other reveiws seem to focus on the interior plastics etc. Id take performance iver plastic any day. Also the front seat comfortability and adaption to each driver is better than any other car in its class. The 4 cylinder has incredible pep. and the suspension maintains a balanced ride. Put that with the incredible price that this car is going for you cant beat it. The Altima 2.5S is winner.

  A great value - 2002 Nissan Altima
  By jsko - August 26 - 10:00 am

  As a tall person, there is plenty of leg room for me and the person sitting in back of me. I traded in a 92 Camry for this. The new Camry does not have the legroom of the Altima. Love the design of the car. Lots of pickup for a 4 cylinder car. Getting 27-29 mpg highway.

  Catch me if you Can! - 2002 Nissan Altima
  By nocboy - August 13 - 2:00 am

  My ride is awesome! I got the 3.5 V6 back in Feb. of 2002 and I still dig it. I was waiting around to see what the 04 Maxima looks like and finally saw some pics. Nicer ofcourse but you could see that family resemblance so Im cool with keeping the Altima. I take the freeway on a daily basis for my work commute, I luv working those lanes through traffic! Not too fun going home from Orange County to Corona Though...(traffics a parking lot). But then again its a perfect time too show off my ride!

  Our Great Touring Car - 2002 Nissan Altima
  By lazydazer - July 15 - 2:00 am

  We have thoroughly enjoyed our travels in this vehicle. We use it for our longer travels and find it to be a very comfortable vehicle, very inexpensive to run with gas mileage over 30 MPG on the interstate. No maintenance problems, although Nissan has had a number of recalls for air bag modifications. These were scheduled with regular maintenance and did not interfere with vehicle use.

  Velvet Is In All Year! - 2002 Nissan Altima
  By Velvetisin - June 7 - 10:00 am

  I purchased my 2.5SL in October 01 (around the time it first came out). Took a test drive and was hooked. Its a beautiful car (Velvet Beige of course). Drives smoothly. Definitely an eyecatcher. Gets a lot of double takes. And the best part about it is -- I look good driving it!

  Nice car for the money - 2002 Nissan Altima
  By 88vette - June 1 - 10:00 am

  Have only had the car about a month at this point but am very pleased with our purchase. We were ready to buy a Passat but found this car actually had more room and was several thousands less than the VW.
