This Year's Model Updates:

All 1999 models get two new exterior colors, improved speakers and a new head unit for the three-in-one stereo combo. The GLE trim level gets alloy wheels added to its standard equipment list, and all alloy wheels now have a bright finish instead of a painted finish. All SE trim levels are now called SE Limited (SE-L) models and come with additional equipment.

Pros:
Cons:
  • The Altima lost its looks when it was redesigned. The quality of the construction of the materials also seems to be down from its previously high level.

  • Great car - 1999 Nissan Altima

    Bought it from an owner that didnt know anything about cars. Had a maintenance done at the dealer and the car is problem free.

  • Perfect Used Car - 1999 Nissan Altima
    By -

    After alot of research for my next car I decided on the Altima. I have no regrets at all. I purchased the car with 79,000 miles and now have 90,000 miles on it and have only 3 things gone wrong on the car other than brakes and oil changes. The first thing that went were my CV boots and second my throttle linkage snapped which controls the acceleration of the car. Basically, when it snapped my gas pedal did nothing and left me stranded. My mechanic told me in his 25 years of working he had never seen that happen on a car. Lastly, the alternator had to replaced but other than that the car has been perfect and I highly reccommend this car. I added a K&N filter and it makes such a difference.

    This was a nice dependable car. The cost was minimal, and the ride was great. No problems whatsoever.

    Despite its appearance, this car is fantastic!! With the performance mods I have added, thanks to Stillen motors and Flowmaster, I readily devour Hondas, Mitsus, and other wannabes with my sleeper. Very easy to enhance and am now getting 190+hp (on the way to 220hp). Not any problems with this car, except that I may need to put a racing clutch in soon! Recommended it as a first timer, college, or performance mod car. Great engine.

  • Saved My Life - 1999 Nissan Altima
    By -

    Ive owned this car since purchased and loved it. A few minor improvements to the model would have been nice but overall an excellent car. I rolled it down a hill last week and totalled it. I crawled out virtually unscathed. A few bruises but nothing major. The safety features in this car saved my life.

  • So Far, Pleased - 1999 Nissan Altima
    By -

    I went out searching for a new car and didnt particularly like the prices of the brand new selections out there. So, I decided to check out the reasonably priced used cars and researched the ones that had some reliability to them. The best value that I found for the going price was the Nissan Altima. I found it to have substantial reliability from reviews of past consumers along with decent fuel economy. So far, I have been pleased with my purchase.

  • Awesome car - 1999 Nissan Altima

    Hey looking for a great car this is the one! I bought my Altima in 2006 with 114k miles on it, and at 172k its still running strong. Besides the minor work its very dependable great on gas and roomy. Nissan did a great job with this one, if I could have anything else I would keep this one.

  • My Altima - 1999 Nissan Altima
    By -

    My 10 yr old Nissan Altima is one of the best cars that I have ever owned, and Ive had quite a few over the years before I bought this. This car has been really good to me and the repairs have been very minor and only in the last couple of years...things do wear out after all. The body has held up really well too; no signs of rust and it still looks nice. If I were to replace it, that would be because Im bored and want something new (this is the longest Ive ever kept a car. I used to get a new one every 4-6 yrs).

  • Reliable Car - 1999 Nissan Altima
    By -

    This has been a very reliable car. I have had this car for almost three years and only had to change the oil every three thousand miles. Ive never had any problems with it.
