Nissan Altima 1995Change

Bought new from a dealer in 1996 I enjoyed this car for 160,000 km. It remained trouble free and reliable until that time. A number of issues including alternator replacement and worn components forced me to trade this vehicle. Being a single car family the reliability factor being the primary concern. This was a fun car to drive being slightly smaller than other models in the midsize segment. Still roomy and a comfortable interior, it would move 4 adults easily with a smaller trunk comprimising cargo capability. The 4 cylinder mated to an automatic transmission powered this vehicle well for around town and highway driving. The engine did develop oil weeps as the car aged and has been typical of this model. For a first generation product it was well conceived and developed.
