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.

Luxury Performance Sedan - 2002 Nissan Altima
By BP in SC - August 11 - 10:00 amLove it! Even the 4 cyl. engine delivers awesome power- same horsepower as other 6 cyl. such as Accord and Camry. I was a die hard Honda fan until I drove this car. And talk about being the center of attention . . . . Easy on the wallet too- insurance only increased slightly and its a lot of car for the money. Since I have an 11 month old, the interior room and trunk space is significant-- backseat seems bigger and more comfortable than 2000 Accord. Ive always been a "wait and see" person when it comes to a new make/model, but dont worry about this one-- go for it! No bugs.

SWEETNESS!!!! - 2002 Nissan Altima
By EBE - July 5 - 10:00 amAfter buying my 98 accord ex coupe, I thought I would be lifetime Honda owner. That was until I saw the Altima. For a 4 cyl, it has plenty of power. I love the tail lights, probably the main reason I bought the car. This car is BMW in the front, Passat from the side, and Lexus in the rear.

A FUN car to drive - 2002 Nissan Altima
By ajgu - June 28 - 10:00 amIt is much more than a sedan. If you cant afford an expensive sports car and you are married but still want some fun, buy this. I once unintentionly travel at 65 mph on a 40 mph curving ramp. i am not proud of it. My point is that this is more than a sedan

A true world-class midsize competitor. - 2002 Nissan Altima
By DanJCUCern - June 24 - 10:00 amWhen preparing to graduate from college and deciding which car to purchase as my first brand-new car, I considered the Passat, Maxima and Camry in addition to the Altima. At first I was not sure if I wanted to get the Altima. After being persuaded to take it for a test drive, I fell in love with it. The 4 cylinder engine has impressive accelleration and fuel economy. The seats are comfortable and everything is well-placed. For the price, it could not be beat.

still like new - 2002 Nissan Altima
By mricha02 - April 11 - 2:00 amI bought my 02 Altima S model with moonroof, bose, pwr seat and 5-spd. I LOVE IT. Got rid of the crappy continental tires and put on 18 X 8.5 OZ racing wheels with Sumitomo tires, much better ride now. I havent had a problem with squeaks, rattles parts breaking or breaking down. Wish I could say the same for the 50K 2003 Navigator I bought. What you get for the price is far more fun than the bland style and performance of the Camry and Accord 4 cyl. My brakes squeal under light stopping but the dealership cant figure out why...oh well, all in all I love it and dont have to pay a grand to get the timing belt replaced at 90K like the hondas :- 0

WOW!! What a Car - 2002 Nissan Altima
By tedg99 - March 7 - 10:00 amThis is the BEST car Ive ever owned (and less expensive than others) VERY ergonomically designed (wish fog lamps were standard) Drives like a DREAM with outstanding syle. Lots of compliments and inquirys. Alway told people to NEVER buy from Gwinnett Nissan (they tried SO hard to screw me -- but failed) Awesome car -- GREAT VALUE!! My check engine light has been on since 36K and the dealer cant figure out why??? (Im now at 80K) still runs like a dream.
