The car has been nightmare after nightmare of electronics and mechanical problems. He traded a V6 '02 Accord for his and now wants his Accord back.
Anyone else here of such things with the new Altima, I would not like to buy a new car that is crap?
It's hit or miss. There are some horror stories like this on several Nissan forums. There's always going to be a lemon here or there regardless of manufacturer - Toyota, Honda, Ford, GM, etc.
I personally drive an 04 Accord but got to tool around in a 05 Altima 2.5S as a rental back in Virginia. I put over 500 miles on it in 4 days and got to know it pretty well. It's sportier than the Accord, engine feels peppier (due to the bump in HP up by 10 from 02-04 models), but that's about the only props it gets from me. I'll take my Accord hands down over it anyday.
Like I tell every single one of you idiots who come onto ATOT asking for car advice, go test drive cars that you like and make an opinion. God it amazes me what little common sense you retards have nowadays.
