  My Second Altima and Sixth Nissan - 2001 Nissan Altima
  By Scott Killian - July 22 - 2:00 am

  This is, like I stated, my second Altima. I love the entire Nissan product line. The 2002s are just simply awsome!!! However, with my budget the 2001 is more affordable. I also have had a 2000 Sentra and a 97 Maxima. Both of which gave me nothing less than perfect service!

  Good Transportation - 2001 Nissan Altima
  By Careyd - May 26 - 10:00 am

  Bought used in March 04 when forced to become a courier due to being laid off. Was local rental with 41k miles. I only had $10k and had to find something reliable, low mileage, relatively safe and economical. The Camry and Accord were over my budget and the Altima seemed to fit the bill. After 38k miles in 5 months (thats right!) I have been mostly satisfied. I did have to replaced the alternator ($340 changed it out myself) but only maintenance items besides that. I drive an average of 10 hours a day so comfort is important, and I have been pleasantly surprised by the seat comfort. (I am a big guy!) Actually roomier up front than other cars.

  Good car, but have concerns - 2001 Nissan Altima
  By Melinda Gibbs - January 15 - 6:43 am

  Ive noticed in the other reviews that only one person complained that during wet weather hard braking causes the rear end to swing out...its quite scary. I had 2 new rear tires put on the back today maybe that will help. It has done it to me about 6 different times in wet weather, almost hit another car a few times...not good. Hub cabs rattle all the time. Dealership cant fix them. Had trouble with power windows...all fixed under warranty. I really like my Altima, but Im very nervous about driving in wet weather.

  Bought the GXE Limited Editon in October 2000 brand new. Has been a very reliable car and have always trusted Nissan products. I presently have over 21000 miles with no problem to report. Easy to keep up and is a beautiful car after it is cleaned.

  Disappointing - 2001 Nissan Altima
  By Paul - May 14 - 8:40 pm

  I bought this 01 in 2005 with 75K. Its been pretty disappointing from the beginning. The handling is sloppy. I had to replace both motors at a cost of $300 each to the two front windows. That shouldnt have happened. The alternator also went out for another $600. New brake rotors on all four wheels cost another $900. I should have bought a used Camry or Accord (better quality), or a Ford Contour (cheaper, better handling). My parents had a 01 Camry and replaced nothing but the timing belt after 160K. No brakes, no window motors, no alternator. Nothing. The wheel caps are also extremely noisy. Poor quality over all. GM is probably better.

  Altima 2001 SE - 2001 Nissan Altima
  By joemcc - May 11 - 2:00 am

  I had previously owned Altima GXEs and experienced much better gas mileage with minimal difference in performance. I was disappointed in the gas mileage, about 23MPG, but the car is extremey reliable.

  Practical and Basic - 2001 Nissan Altima
  By SallyM - February 16 - 2:00 am

  I have owned Nissans since 1979. I dont think they can be beat for reliability/dependability. The Nissan Altima 2001 is no exception to this, only its a really boring car. Its not fun to drive: Less power, poorer handling in wet weather, wider turning radius, and it just looks like a million others. It is so common looking that you lose it in parking lots. Save your money and buy one thats 2002 model year after they changed the design and made it look a whole lot sharper. Why not have looks, performance and dependability instead of just dependability?
