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 with just a few bugs - 2002 Nissan Altima
  By dblind1 - January 9 - 2:00 am

  I purchased the car in August and had 2000 miles on it before Sept 1. Im up to 10500 miles and have had no reliability issues. This is the first real new car I have purchased, and Im very pleased with it. PLENTY of power, but torque steer is BAD. There would be a few things that could improve the car but most of them are minor. I would recommend this car to anyone looking for a sedan with plenty of passing power (and long drives). Very comfortable interior (although cheap materials). It doesnt handle as well as a Lexus IS 300 but it is $5000-$7000 cheaper.

  Altima is number 1 - 2002 Nissan Altima
  By Luis - December 29 - 10:00 am

  Ive had this car for almost 2 years now and Im still in love with it! It turns heads every where I go, and handles and drives great. The 2002 Altima 3.5 SE V6 : - Best Horsepower & Torque for its class - Most Room in its class - Nissan Reliability - Best Exterior for its class - Excellent Leather Interior - Super Quality BOSE sound system. Best price at John Elway Nissan (In less than 3 hours I was on my way out the door).

  New Car Adventure - 2002 Nissan Altima
  By Dave Kiger - December 16 - 10:00 am

  It is a good looking car. We get many good compliments about it. Rides very smooth. Back seat is like riding on air. Front seat equally smooth. Lots of room front and back. Power to excel in passing, when needed. Gas milage is ok, but we might have done a little better had we opt to go with the 2.5 4 cycl, which would have taken the lower grade or gas consistently without a reduction in MPG. With the 3.5, 6 sycl, higher grade is recommended for better overall performance and MPG, but you can get by with a lower grade and use high grade every 3-4 fillups.

  2002 Nissan Altima (Ultima) 3.5 SE V6 - 2002 Nissan Altima
  By Ultima - October 22 - 10:00 am

  Lets see... Theres the Camry (boring), Accord (boring), Passat (small, over priced, a little boring), and just about any American mid-size (boring and unreliable). Hmmm... Not a tough choice here. 2002 Altima 3.5 SE V6 : - Best Horsepower & Torque for its class - Most Room in its class - Nissan Reliability - Best Exterior for its class - Acceptable Interior (could have done better here guys) - Fair priced if you negotiate a little - Fun, fun, fun to drive

  Excellent Sporty Car in a Mid size body - 2002 Nissan Altima
  By linda1kanobe - September 26 - 7:56 am

  You get the best of both worlds, a sporty looking car with the size of a midsize sedan. Comfort, quality, design, all great!

  Like it - 2002 Nissan Altima
  By Drifter - September 22 - 2:00 am

  Smooth family sedan lines, hot muscle-car performance. Can tell what brand of auto your driving at a glance. roomy inside, not outside.

  BANG FOR THE BUCK - 2002 Nissan Altima
  By DIBIASE - September 10 - 10:00 am

  i LOVE THIS VEHICLE. ONLY GRIPE IS THE INTERIOR, BUT EVERY CAR HAS SOMETHING TO GRIPE ABOUT, TRUST ME. THE ACCELERATION EVEN ON THE 4 CYLINDER IS VERY LIVELY, I LOVE THE RIDE AND THAT GATED SHIFTER THING LOOKS SO MUCH SWEETER AND SPORTIER THAN THAT OLD REGULAR SHIFTER IN THE CAMRY AND ACCORD. THE ALTIMA REALLY SHINES WITH ANY ALLOY WHEELS, SPOILER AND FOG LIGHTS TO GO WITH IT. PUT SOME TINT AND YOUR ALTIMA WILL BE OFFICIAL.

  Looks better than Lex gs400 - 2002 Nissan Altima
  By lwoman - August 3 - 10:00 am

  Great car. It looks better than the lexus Gs 300 and 400 although they do look quite similar. Altima has everything in its class beat. it looks much more expensive than what it is. I have had car since October and I have 14,000 miles on it. sure I drive alot but its fun to drive. the car is simply great. What a beauty. ALTIMA 2.5SL. pEOPLE CANNOT BELIEVE ITS NOT A LEXUS. pARK AN ALTIMA NEXT TO A Gs 300 or 400 and tell me which looks better. The is 300 dosent come close to the altima in s. Great car everyone should buy one. Nissan altima has the accord and camry beat this time. Go altima all the way. you are a beauty. simply the best
