Overview & Reviews

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.

• 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.

  Not a sports car-but okay - 1999 Nissan Altima
  By jeo - May 16 - 7:26 pm

  I have found ownership of my Altima having offsetting pluses & minuses. Yes its reliable and gas mileage around 25-28 mpg. But when parts wear out they are quite expensive. The seats are hard & uncomfortable, it has the turning radius of a truck, the stereo is no Bose.

  Overall I have had a good experience with this car. No major problems. I would recommend this car for someone in the market for a used car.

  The 99 Altima GXE - 1999 Nissan Altima
  By Fast Car - March 30 - 2:00 am

  I have driven this car for about 4 months now. This car is more impressive than the 99 Maxima. If you rarely drive on the interstate, then this car is perfect. The cars cooling/heater unit works fast. This car is the best 4 cyclinder car ever. The only drawback is road noise, Slight vibrations when braking at high speeds and terrible stereo. The mirrors are bigger than the Maxima. There is no power seats which is what I like because it takes forever for the seat to adjust if it had one. If this car is great what is the new body style like? Oh one more thing! Weaving in and out of traffic is easy.

  Great Buy!! - 1999 Nissan Altima
  By Nikole - March 30 - 2:00 am

  I purchased my Altima used after looking for over 3 months. I was pretty open to about anything but I loved the features of the car. I also loved that going from an old Subaru that got 35 miles per gallon that the Altima was not far behind.

  Excellent Nissan car! - 1999 Nissan Altima
  By Mike-I - January 31 - 10:00 am

  This is my wifes car but I drove it maybe 5000 miles and all I can say is that is very reliable, never had any major problems (bought it new), great performance overall. Gas mileage is one of the best, good power, handling, comfort, good resale value. I highly recommend it to everyone.

  Cars the way they should be - 1999 Nissan Altima
  By Wifes car - December 15 - 10:43 am

  After reading the reviews of others I thought I should add my two cents. I currently have 183,000 miles on my Nissan Altima and planning to go at least another until 250,000 before giving it to my niece. The car has been trouble free just change the oil and brakes along with tires and keep driving it. Wanted to put this out to other folks with less miles so they know their cars still have a long way to go, keep on trucking. Don

  Price vs. Quality - 1999 Nissan Altima
  By investorjoe - December 13 - 10:00 am

  in terms of performance, Altima SE could be among the best of its class. I am driving a 5-speed manuel model. It doesnt have a good pick up, but it has a fast mid-speed. Once, I drove it at 190 Km/Hr and it seems very stable. Beside, it has a good stereo with excellent speakers. However, the quality is my concern. The leather seats look cheap. I would sugesst Nissan should do more wind turnel before releasing theirf future models...... the car is very noicy on a windy and running on highways. Also, matellic noice comes from the timing chain.

  Great Car! - 1999 Nissan Altima
  By B.Hill - December 10 - 7:23 am

  My Altima has been a great car - very reliable. Pros: good gas mileage for size, comfortable ride, sporty feel. Cons: trunk design - opening is very small for such a large trunk, both front speakers have blown out even though I dont play loud music. Cost to replace each one at dealer is about $170. I replaced one but am doing without the other for now. Overall, though, Im very pleased with my car and plan to drive it until it falls apart.

  Fun while it lasted - 1999 Nissan Altima
  By Zidanet2 - October 30 - 9:46 am

  My 1999 Nissan Altima was a very nice car. Ii had some work done to it, like a full ground effects kit, a cold air intake, and some subs and new speakers, beside the tranny giving out on me at 55,000 miles and battery dying at 62,000 miles it was a fun, reliable car to drive. It had the power to smoke Honda Civics and Acoords and a lot of other 4 door middle grade sedns. It was a safe car as well, I totaled it after hiting a guardrail doing 75 mph and it kept togther very well. It was definitely repairable, but my insurance company just totaled it because it experienced some frame damage. I reccommend this car to any one who wants a car they can trust and have fun with at the same time.
