an 00-01 altima is perfect for you, i duno what the story is about the 02.
THe 98-01 all have the same body. But the 00-01 were redesigned jsut a little bit, they have stronger suspension for one thing, and most of the flaws of the 98-99 body were taken care of when they designed 00-01. The same story probabl goes for the 02-05. Probably the 05 is the best out of the 02-05 since they did the same as they did wiht 98-01.
Overall, i find my 00 altima very reliable, not saying that its crap right now, but if you keep the car stock it would be more reliable. Those cars last forever, and im at 93k miles right now, and i havent had any engine trouble or transmission or anythign yet.
