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.

  4 Dr. GXE Sedan - 1998 Nissan Altima

  Great car for the money, must be one of the best buys out there. When shopping, I compared it with similar priced competitors Ford Contour/Mercury Mistique. No comparison!!! That convinced me. Why pay so much for a Honda or Toyota. Ive had no trouble in two years. Its peppy and economical to drive. Friends who ride in it often comment on what a nice car it is.

  A mans best friend - 1998 Nissan Altima

  Pros: Had it fo a year. No repairs. Good fuel economy. Reliable, good performance, no bad surprise. A car you can count on. Cons: Front seats lack back support, 5-speed manual gearshift could be more precise.

  ALTIMA NISSAN: excellent car - 1998 Nissan Altima

  Found a little skid in the front tires on wet uphill surfaces. Otherwise, a perfect car; never ever a mechanical problem. Not once. A fantastic machine.

  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
