  • Lots of miles but fun to drive. - 2000 Nissan Altima
    By -

    Was great once, could be again. "Experts" say it has a fuel delivery problem, left me stranded twice recently. If I could fix that and give it some TLC it would still be my daily driver. Love this car but having a slight issue of trust. Drive it at least once a week. Still smooth/fun at 100+ mph as it is at 50. Washes up and looks beautiful but does have lots of miles/years so it needs a little love. You wont sorry if you buy it and give it a little time and effort. Still driving it, still love it, but cant give it the tlc it deserves. Will give to charity f or auction to raise funds to help others.

  • Very reliable daily driver - 2000 Nissan Altima
    By -

    This car was handed down to me after my dad purchased a 2004 Pathfinder. It is very reliable and gets a lot of looks from the girls! The engine has decent pick up and is the beats out every other car in its class in power for the 4 cylinder engine (Accord, Camry). I plan to buy another Altima when the 2005s are released.

  • Great Engine, Weak Exterior, Good Car - 2000 Nissan Altima
    By -

    Its been excellent overall with the exception of the ext. body -- bumber front and back are weak spots for trouble....front quarter-panel also. It has been extremely reliable -- Altimas have a weak spot on the power windows also, the switches on the doors, the motors and the regulators go out early. Engine is devine in every way: reliable, smooth, strong.

  • So and So - 2000 Nissan Altima
    By -

    This car was great when i bought it used with 85k miles, it waws wonderful until i decided to customize it, Rims, exhaust, the works, the suspension is now very bumpy, but it corners like a BMW. Overall this car is "you get what u pay for". Brakes wear down real fast, but maybe thats just my driving. Tires wear down real fast too.

  • Terrific Value - 2000 Nissan Altima
    By -

    Best value in this class and this price range. Looked hard at 4-door auto subcompacts. Got it down to Civic, Protege, and Altima. All had build quality, resale, value, interior room, handling, and reliability. On test drives, the Altima stood out for performance, ride, and interior. Got a used GLE (for $12k, 29k miles, like new). Very torquey 4 cylinder works very well with the automatic. Youd swear it was a V6. Terrific GLE interior. Very smooth on the highway, roomy interior, great trunk. Completely trouble-free. Only downside is the drab styling. Two thumbs up.

  • Worth it! - 2000 Nissan Altima
    By -

    This is the first car I have owned and the only one still. I bought it from the dealership in Dallas for 9500 with 46000 miles on it. Now, its over 60000 miles but I still do love it. Besides oil change, I have never done anything to the car but it still works great. If theres any reason for me to change the car, it may be that I want a cooler looking car. This car is too much like a familymans car.

  • BEWARE THE INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET ..... - 2000 Nissan Altima
    By -

    Was very happy right up til recently when my air intake manifold gasket was found to be leaking, causing the car to have a rough idle and possibly burn the #4 cylinder due to an engine hotspot. Great. Engine light will come on, and repair bill will be around $800, as it is an 8-9 hour job my Nissan dealer told me, and will happen again and again as the hot spot in the engine causing the burning is not able to be fixed.

  • 2000 GLE - 2000 Nissan Altima

    Great car for the money. Would buy a new one today! Low maintenance cost and reliable. However, only gets 25 MPG on the open road with the automatic. Good pick up and handling. Front brake squeal since day one.

    All in all Nissan manufactures vehicles that are made to drive everyday in every situation. The 2000 Altima is a well made car with some designs that could have been made better. The only major complaint that I have with the vehicle is the Air Conditioning. The AC works well but seriously takes power from the engine. Also when I need the power, the engine struggles and cuts out while accelerating because of the AC. Other then that the features on our car is well. On my Altima I added a remote starter system, which required another key (Keys are chipped), and once I had the new key made the system works great.

  • It has 200,000km and lady-driven (which also means lady-maintained...lol). - 2000 Nissan Altima
    By -

    Bought this car from a family member for $1000 so the price was right but it did need a lot of TLC. Things that Ive replaced so far: CAT at manifold, knock sensor, MAF sensor, 02 sensor, rad, complete rear brakes. Other problems: Leaking A/C system (hopefully Ive fixed that) wiring defect in the spoiler light (Ill fix that soon). The oil filter is impossible to change without putting the car on a hoist, over a pit or on jack stands/ramps. The PCV valve is hidden under the intake manifold and will require hours to change. The shifter light also needs replacing. If I wasnt a DIYer, Id be broke, but I am a DIYer and now that Ive done these repairs, it will go another 200,000km for sure.
