2003 Nissan Altima Sedan 3.5 SE 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 5M)
Sporty & Responsive
 This is the 3rd Nissan Altima I've owned. I've also had a 2001 GXE Limited Edition (the last year of the old body & engine style) and a 1999 SE Limited Edition.  I love the throaty engine noise under heavy acceleration, balanced with a very quiet response under normal driving conditions.  The body styling is second to none in its class and I feel you have to upgrade to luxury vehicles to get better body styling than the Altima.  My only complaints about it are the front brakes which seem to warp too easily (the same happened in my 2001, but no problems with this in my 1999 model.) I have had to upgrade to slotted rotors to keep this from recurring and I don't even heavily brake the vehicle.
