Yes, the outside door handles are disaster, I' ve broken front right handle first day after buying this car :D Luckily with Pattex 5 minutes epoxid glue, the problem was solved. But besides that, the car is great: quite, lots of space and quite good power (2.5). Greetings from Poland ;)

My 2005 is just the same but my paint job on the top is stripping but that's my baby

QR25DE has a kamikaze pre-catalytic convertor on it. I'd be wary of that. My 06 Altima had engine failure at 50,000 miles because the pre-cat fell apart and got sucked into the engine tearing the cylinders up and burning out all the oil. Nissan replaced my engine but I got rid of the new pre-cat and put a header on instead. Car has actually been very reliable since then so I can't really complain but the design flaw with the pre-cat is extremely serious so I'm not a fan of the QR25 and wouldn't buy another one no matter how reliable it is now. It's shame about the flaw though because really the rest of the car is quite nice. No complaints about the comfort or feel of it. The worst I can say about Altimas outside of the cat issue is just that Nissan uses horrible paint/clear coat. In no time Altimas start to look half rotten as the clear coat disappears.

what about a 2007 2.5 w a 6 speed?

My car does the same exact thing when i start it but i have a 06 altima

I checked and found the compressor was not kicking in as I was starting AC. I checked freon and the pressure was too low. I refilled using a 50$ freon bottle from autozonr and compressor started working as it should. If you're out of gas, the Compressor wont start. So, I also have a leak in the AC line. Now , I can either get it fixed or keep topping AC gas each season. I will choose the latter.

Eventually you will be adding a quart every gas fill-up and if you forget, your engine is shot. Second, the JATCO auto transmission isn't much better.
