  • Awesome Altima - 2001 Nissan Altima
    By -

    I fell greatful to have purchased one of the last 2nd generation Altimas. Yes, the 2002s are nice but I really like the previous generations styling. This is one great car. Ride, handling, fuel economy, comfort, and durability all in one well-assembled package.

    After driving a certifiable lemon, I purchased the Altima. The ride is really smooth. I havent needed any major repairs to the car, just annual stuff and oil changes. The heat/air cond. is superior. The seats are comfortable. Gas mileage is good. The trunk is roomy also.

    I purchased my Nissan Altima GLE new, and currently have 84,400 miles on it, with plans to drive it several more years if it continues to perform well. I have been faithful with routine maintenance, and have had no problems at all. It is a comfortable, roomy sedan.

  • My Favorite Car So Far! - 2001 Nissan Altima
    By -

    Bought my 2001 Altima GXE Ltd Ed 12/01 w/ 2122 miles. Saw it on internet, test drove it, and instantly loved it. Car has good excel from stop and in traffic. Handles well except for sharp corners. Normal braking good. Hard braking and wet weather conditions rear swings out. Fuel economy is to spec. Road noise is min with windows up, loud with windows down (>45mph). Car handles fine at speed <95mph. Noticeable aero lift >110mph. Engine loud under hard excel. At 511" no trouble using radio. People <53" may have difficulty. Visibility is good. Only problems with power windows. Recall recently issued in hot weather climates.

  • Good Handling - 2001 Nissan Altima
    By -

    Rides like a sports car - stiff ride. gas mileage 21.5 city, 26 highway. good trunk space and fold down rear seat works well to increase carring capacity. Four cylinder has plenty of power to pass or climb hills.

    The Nissan Altima is a good car. It doesnt do anything bad but it doesnt do anything great eithier.

    A very reliable and competent car. Nothing about the car reaches out and grabs you. It just starts and runs every day. Handling comfortable, but not exciting. Acceleration more than adequate, but wont excite you. If you want comfortable, decently appointed, reliable transportation, this is it. Short legged/armed drivers will feel more at home than gangly drivers. Particularly, shorter women will like the cars seating. Opt for a sunroof. It makes the interior brighter, and makes the car seem more open and spacious.

  • Altima GXE 01 - 2001 Nissan Altima
    By -

    Decent car for under $20k, got the LTD edition. Lots of torque for this class, much better hanlding once you get rid of the stock tires. Steering is tighter than average (good thing), auto tranny shifts smoothly, though wish it was a 5-speed auto. The sound system is great - even at louder volumes the bass doesnt overpower the high tones. Only warranty issues: replaced rear stabilizer bar bushings and driver side power window motor. Still pretty happy and going strong at 55k miles!
