1997 Nissan Altima - The best car I've ever owned or driven.

To find a car I wanted to buy, I rented them for a 400-mile trip I had to make bimonthly. This was the sixth car I tested and I knew the first minute I drove it that it would be the one I'd buy. It had superior comfort and handling, felt solid, had unexpected power and drove like a car that would cost $20,000 more than what I'd pay.

Story

My twins were in grammar school when I bought this car and they just recently graduated from college -- it has been "our car" almost their entire lives and has hauled them and their friends to countless baseball, basketball, soccer games and swim meets.

Pros

This car feels like it was made for me. It is incredibly comfortable for my height and body size -- like putting on a well-fitting pair of jeans. It still handles like a new car (no vibrations, no noises, no "loose" feeling) after 118,000 miles. I've had to do VERY little repair maintenance on the car for the number of years I've had it and the mileage. I has been 100% reliable. It has surprising room inside (more than newer cars by far), and a roomy trunk area.

Cons

I have NO negative things to report about this car. I never expected it to last this long, especially with all the trouble-free mileage I've had. I've even written to the manufacturer in praise of this car.

2008 Nissan Altima - Nissan Altima

I enjoy the Altima to an extent. It gets great gas mileage. I put in about forty dollars every week, and it lasts my whole week -- no problem. It has a lot of power in it that was initially unexpected. It seats five people comfortably and has a surprising amount of leg room. The truck is spacious, enough to fill for camping, skating, or whatever activity my family would want to do. The car is very light, so when I take it in canyons, it is easy to feel the wind rocking the car and feels unsettling.

Story

There was a time I went off roading in it, and it can get some air and can take some serious impact.

Pros

I save so much money in gas over previous vehicles. It has a small gauge that estimate how many miles until empty, so there is minimal guesswork. Powerful A/C makes the California summers feel like nothing until we get out.

Cons

The car is very light, so sometimes it can feel unsafe. Having the A/C seems to directly affect the cars performance and feels sluggish going uphill with it on. There seems to be quite of bit of transmission problems with Altimas, and I experienced my first one earlier this year, and it was quite a pain to work on.
