1997 Nissan Altima Sedan GLE 4dr Sedan
Altimax
 Bought Champagne GLE on a whim after 
Honda dealer jerked me around buying my 
3rd Honda. Never drove a Nissan before, 
and Altima seemed like a big step up 
from Civic EX. Mfg was paying Mass 
excise tax for life of lease, that was 
swaying factor. Car itself, while 
comfy, wasn't much fun to drive, and 
economy was dreadful. Too small an 
engine dragging around a porker. Dealer 
brochure showed a 97 with auto climate 
control and CD, ended up with a 
decontented 97.5 with manual A/C and no 
CD.
