  I love This Car - 2001 Nissan Altima
  By LOVE MY CAR - June 28 - 4:23 pm

  My mom bought this car New 2001 in Ct. In 05 the car became mine. When I got it it had 35,000 miles on it, my mom took very good care of the car with all the regular maintainable. I drove the car to Miami and stay for 9 months driving. Then I drove it to TX. This car has needed some work, but the car is 10 yrs old, manifold gasket @ 95,000 structs & shocks, hoses, and tire rods.. The rest of the stuff regular maintenance. This car runs great, The seat motor just went out the stereo system & speakers could use a major upgrade. I have 99,000 miles on the car and just wanted to know how long I can expect to drive.. LOOKS LIKE I GOT WAYS TO GO. Ill definitely buy another NISSAN!

  150K and still going - 2001 Nissan Altima
  By Lee - August 13 - 11:26 pm

  I bought the car new. Manifold gasket replaced at 135k. Mine lasted little longer than many others I read. I was lucky that my mechanic only charged me $300. Front brake was only replaced twice and rear brake once at 120k. Changed battery twice every 4 years since new. Oil change with mobile 1 every 5k. Thats it. Very low maintanance car. Enough power to get around and smooth enough but not a luxury just little better than average sedan. Little bigger than compact and little smaller than midsize. Gas mileage around 22-24 mixed driving.

  Best Buy in the Mid-size category - 2001 Nissan Altima
  By Ben K - July 7 - 10:00 am

  I bought this car privately in 7/02 with 7,000 miles. It now has 52,000. It is a dream drive anytime I get in it. Recently, my wife took a job that requires 150-200 miles of driving daily so I turned it over to her and bought an 04 Dakota (awesome, too). SHE LOVES THE ALTIMA!! One problem, though. Her company is now insisting she drive a company car (Jeep Liberty). She is very upset that she has to give it up! I would definetely buy another 00 or 01 Altima. I would avoid the 2002 & up as they are very hard on the eyes (ugly).

  A VERY Safe Car, Looking for another! - 2001 Nissan Altima
  By GLSC - April 4 - 2:00 am

  I loved this car, but recently I was involved in a head-on crash with a drunk driver and I was able to walk away from the accident. My Altima was totaled, but it did exactly what it was supposed to do. I had plenty of room for my feet during the crash. The car just absorbed the impact and broke away, but the inside of the car was for the most part in tacked! As soon as I got out of the car I told my husband I wanted another one EXACTLY like it. I never had any problems with it, air worked great, seats were comfy, heat worked great, didnt make any noises when it ran.

  Great Practical Car - 2001 Nissan Altima
  By jmdineen - February 26 - 2:00 am

  This car has a lot of room for its size. I have had no problems with it at all, and it has over 26k miles. It is great on the open road (a little stiff maybe) but also handles two lane roads with lots of curves with ease. Fuel milage isnt great but not bad.

  Great Car - 2001 Nissan Altima
  By joker - February 10 - 10:00 am

  I bought my Altima new in July 01 and have had no problems at all with the car. Rides good, plenty of room, fun to drive and has plenty of pick up for a 4 cylinder. I owned a Honda Civic prior to this and the civic could not even compare to this beauty.

  Old Reliable - 2001 Nissan Altima
  By gotaku - January 12 - 8:50 am

  Traded it in on a new 08 Altima last week. My 01 played a large role in my deciding to stay with Nissan. If youre looking for a rock-solid, reliable, and fun to drive used sedan, the Altima SE is one of the best. No major problems, just some small niggles (described below), every car has them. Very comfortable, fuel efficient (30 mpg on the highway, at least), great around town and for long-distance cruising. If you enjoy the act of driving, dont bother with the GXE or GLE... the SE is the way to go. It may not be the quickest in a straight line, but itll surprise you in the twisties. Overall, I was very happy with the car, kinda hated to see it go. Highly recommended.
