Overview & Reviews

Altima is totally, and unnecessarily, redesigned for 1998. The Altima's new look is more wedge-shaped, with a trunk that looks like it has met the business end of a band saw. Standard equipment is up, including a CD player on every model except the XE.

• Big car in a small package. Lots of standard equipment.

• Dumpy hindquarters and lower build quality than we have come to expect from Nissan.

  Great Car / Accord killer - 1998 Nissan Altima
  By DrFast - September 3 - 10:00 am

  I Love this car. It is April 02 and we have 64000 miles. We have not ahd to do a thing to this car. We change the oil and fill the tank and thats it. The only complaint is the use of Firestone tires that didnt last 40000 miles. This car is much more powerfull than other comparable 4 cylinder cars in its category (VW Jetta 105 HP; Altima 150). It also has more room than the accord in the back seat (also costs alot less). We researched our first new car purchasse for a year before buying this car. After we bought this car I have had 5 friends/family buy a new nissan. Great cars!!

  Disappointed - 1998 Nissan Altima
  By xray2 - April 24 - 2:36 am

  Bought new in 1998, and am quite disappointed. Almost made it for 12 trouble free years, then at 210,000 miles the transaxle fell apart. Replaced the transaxle with another used one. Other that that, the body and interior has remained in great shape. Hopefully the piece of junk will make it another 200,000 miles. lol

  Handling is excellent.Im happy with the cornering even though I have cheap dealer installed tires. I dont know why people were so upset with this redesign in 98. I like the looks of my car, inside and out.I cant wait to get good tires for this car.

  I have bought the Altima used with about 13,000 miles. In the four years I have owned it, it has not failed me once. Short of normal maintenance, I have never had trouble. I drove it cross country from Florida to Washington State and back and not a single glitch. The exterior is kind of boring but I would not change it for anything. I am going to keep it until it falls apart. It probably wont.

  Oldie but goodie - 1998 Nissan Altima
  By Cel - October 16 - 2:57 pm

  This car is one of the most reliable cars Ive ever owned. Superior engine and surprisingly good mileage. The flaws are the cheap plastic used for the sun visor and radio buttons. Other than that, I feel very safe driving in any weather. This 1998 still has freezing cold air and toasty heat.

  Loved This Car! - 1998 Nissan Altima
  By Scarlett_1750 - August 17 - 10:00 am

  I bought this car in 2000 with only 16k, and had nothing but positive experiences with it. One of the best buys out there- dependable, clean/great interior, ran very well, and huge roomy trunk could fit just about anything. In three years, I didnt need to replace a single thing, only needed oil change and tuneup. I was heartbroken when car was totaled in accident at 60k; I would have driven it forever!
