Anyone owns an Altima or knows someone?

their recall is even crazier

for their 02-06 models for only the 2.5 model - i believe a piece of flange by the cat converter can get burnt and sucked into the engine thereby destroying it.

there were cases where spark plugs shoot out the engine like bullets, and many other defects for the 2.5 model

i am posting this because i was about to buy a altima but decided on the yaris instead, but now.........here comes the recall for the yaris heh

My friend's got an 06 altima. Good thing he got the SE-R tho. That car looks mean and it's fast as hell. One of the few vehicles that I absolutely love stock from the factory.

I dont know if this was true or not i heard there was a recall on the focus when it first cam eout. Something would hapen wit the axle it would lock up at high speeds and cause the car to spin out.
