1998 Nissan Altima Promotional Video

[@jamie7664]

Oh how far the Altima has fallen. Now it’s the official car of temp tags, missing wheel covers, and reckless driving.

[@carsandcrashtests]

I can’t say that’s not true. I have seen more than one FB group dedicated to posting about its “energy”.

[@injustifiiable]

I had this on tape when it came out. Used to collect brochures as a kid and the tape came with it!

[@carsandcrashtests]

I think I had to send away for it after test driving it at a local dealership.

[@gabevillarreal96]

I did the exact same thing! I had a 1995 altima and did not like the redesign. But tge video was cool!

[@sunbeam8866]

Well, a knock-down, drag-out fight between the syrupy couple would've made things much more exciting, but I still have my '98 Altima, bought used in 2005, and equipped pretty much like this one, except no leather or power-seat. I added a $90 set of salvage-yard Nissan alloy rims, just to get rid of the world's ugliest plastic hubcaps, plus a trunk-spoiler to improve the looks! 230K-miles on it now. Lets see if i'll make 300!

Got some big altima energy there huh

Good to know the suspension has been tuned to improve ride comfort.

[@dabnisbrickey6527]

Notice how loud they're talking to over compensate for how loud this car was inside.

[@carsandcrashtests]

It was still quieter than most other cars in the class at the time.

[@gabevillarreal96]

@@carsandcrashtests I agree it was quieter and it had a much smoother ride. Just didn't care for the styling

[@sunbeam8866]

@@gabevillarreal96 Yeah. Many griped about the sawed-off, droopy trunk on this generation. A salvage-yard trunk-spoiler improved the looks on my '98, while adding a couple benefits that have nothing to do with fast driving. The spoiler marks the rear of the car when I back-up. Otherwise, the rear of the car is invisible from the driver's seat. It also provides a level area to set packages, while I unlock the car. Otherwise, they'd slide off the sloped trunk! Then, a $100 set of used Nissan factory alloy rims got rid of the world's ugliest plastic hubcaps! Finally, I upgraded my feeble, sunburned plastic headlamps to those from the facelifted '00 - '01 version.

[@sunbeam8866]

@Jonathan-mp7xg Well, my '98 Altima was certainly quieter, and much nicer than the tired, rusty, beat-up '84 Accord it replaced in 2005. Thing was, the '90s Altimas were reliable cars, that just didn't have the 'vibe' of an Accord or Camry. This made Nissans a used-car bargain if you could live without the refinement or reputation of the other two. I paid about half of what a comparable used Accord or Camry would've cost. And so far, my Altima's timing-chain has meant I haven't had to deal with the routine timing-belt replacements required on late '90s Accords and Camrys!

Great video.

[@WhitneySawyers-z3w]

Is this mine? It was stolen not to long ago..got about 50,000 original miles and was bought as a "display car"

[@JoshuaPlays99]

I love how they're not even trying to pretend to be unbiased lmao

[@tomtjchiang4744]

Where did Carl go at the end of the video lol

[@GXKid06]
