pls am planning to buy a car and i am torn btwn nissan altima 2003 or toyotal corolla 2003. pls guys what doyou advise i do. what are the advantages  of nissan 2ltma as regards engine durability,fuel and general efficiency

I have used the 03 altima b4 and i can tell you for free to keep away from anything called Nissan, the engines are not durable, they always experience overheating problems (especially when you use the AC), I sold mine at a loss later on.

And once the engine starts to overheat the tendency of the blocks to get warped is higher than the toyota which causes the overheating to end up as a terminal issue.

There are very few roadside Nissan mechanics (they'll all tell you that anybody who fixes japanese cars can fix a nissan easily, very untrue)

I'll advice you to go for the toyota anyday.

Cheap parts, good mechanics everywhere, fuel efficiency are toyota's good points.

Take care and all the best in your purchase.

Bros Thanx so much 4 ur advis .so grateful.

I use 05 Nissan (although not Altima) and the ride is performing just like the Toyota I used before even better sef

I don't know whether Nissan mechanic are scare or not but I can assure that my Nissan mechanic is a wizard even better than the workshop mechanics that i used to patronize before (I'm not advertising for him o).

No brand of automobile is absolutely good or ridiculously bad but it is all about the way the machine is being used/maintained! Treat your car well and she will serve you better
