My first "big / new" car purchase was a 2001 Chevy Impala LS 3.8L fully loaded. I loved up until little things started going wrong.
I think we had 3 recalls during the first year.
Engine cradle - unsecure
Block heater over cooked
Disc Brake / rotor problems
Gas gage issues / Tranny problems
the list goes on.
Now the Impala see's very little road.
The wife drives it about 6 Km mon-fri (C-train and back).
I drive my little Acura and love it.
Domestics have driven me away, I was always Pro GM. Now, I could never go back. Imports rock, European or Japanese.
So, if I were you I would choose the Altima. Plus it looks great!
My next car will be the Audi A6 or a BMW.
