    Anybody else feeling bummed?

    Anybody else who bought a 2004 Altima feeling bummed because Nissan so
    quickly came out with the much spiffier 2005?

    For those who bought or tested the 2005, did Nissan improve the quality
    of materials and fit on the interior? That's one of my biggest gripes
    against an otherwise fine car--the interior is cheap-feeling and many
    parts (the doors to the cupholders and compartments especially) feel
    flimsy. I have a feeling little hinges and springs and clips are going
    to start breaking just out of warranty. I can see it now--a $2 part
    with a 75$ labor charge...

    Hi John,

    Didn't really look at the '04, but did just get a new '05 the 2.5 SL.
    I read a lot about the quality of the interior materials not being
    that great from '02-'04, but I have to say there isn't anything that I
    find "cheap" about the interior of the SL, everything seems very nice
    and of excellent quality. But then I've only had the car for a week,
    maybe I'll start changing my mind after some time (don't think so
    though).

    Oh yes, I just test drove the 2005 after taking a peek at the interior
    of the car (when I looked at the interior of the previous version I
    didn't even bother with a test drive) they worked overtime on the 2005
    interior, much better, don't know how well it will hold up, but it
    sure looks sweet!

    yes had a 03 3.5SE and the 04 changed. had the car 1.5 years 88,000 miles.
    the alternator went out $800 to fix. And the driver side window motor went
    out $450 to fix. the front of the car was ruined. nissan has thin paint and
    any bugs or rocks will go right through the paint. If you want the front to
    stay nice plan on painting the front every year (about $500)

    other than those items the car was fine. In fact I replaced the altima with
    another nissan overall happy with products.
