So I am looking at trading in my Truck for a Altima or Camry. The Camry of course is a Toyota so nothing more needs to be said. The Altima on the other hand has a stonder engine (4-cylinder) and looks a whole lot better.

My delemma is that I have had a Nissan pick-up before and had problems with it so I am a little leary about the brand. I currrently have two Toyotas and they are no nonesense no problem kind of cars.

Anyone have either of these cars (any year)?? I am looking at the 2005 models for both but am just looking for input about the manufactuer or older models. Each car has thier share of good and bad reviews on all the web sites I have been too.
 
No dont get either,
get an AMERICAN made car

When Chevy or Ford start building a car that has the long term quality of a Toyota I will consider it.
 
Wolf I have done a lot of checking on these models and I would personally go with the Toyota if you are looking for reliability. The Nissans are good. But I believe the Toyotas are just a tick better.

As for buying something that is American made, I agree with what you said. Besides, many of these cars ARE made in America. I am all for keeping the money here in the states. But I rufuse to throw my money away on something that is unreliable or lacking in quality. American vehicles have come a long way. But they are still lacking in reliability and quality compared to the Japanese models.

There are some exceptions but they are not cars that I am interested in owning or driving.
 
I agree totally Guido!!

Lappy, I am not lookng for something that small. Still need at least a mid-size, thanks though.
 
i think, personnally, American cars are better, sure they dont get as good of mpg but they run good, sure Toyotas are MADE in America but the money goes to people in Japan.
 
go with the toyota.. they last longer and just run better than most anything.. sorry but american cars ain't up to the foreign cars when it comes to durability
 
go for the toyota, my parents have a Toyota Avalon, they love it.

My thoughts exactly, I'm partial to fords because I get an unbeleavable deal on them..... But but sister has had 4 Toys and never had 1 problem with them.
 
Well we worked one H%^ of a deal on a new Camry this weekend and then decided against getting rid of my truck LOL

I can tell you though that Dealers are a Dealin' hard because the price they offered to me was 1K BELOW the TRU MARKET VALUE of the car!!! Not THIER Invoice but the TMV.
 
We have a 2002 Camry. We test drove an Altima and an Accord before settling
on the Toyota. The Accord felt too 'safe' while the Altima had too much understeer
during acceleration...and the fact that the missus always wanted a Camry !!! She
drives the 5-speed/4 cylinder SE. It has 95,000 miles on it already. So far, the
only thing wrong with it is the driver's side backseat window won't go down.

I have a 2002 Nissan Frontier XE 4/cyl/5spd. I settled on it for the price....I doubt I'd
ever buy another one, though.
