is more like u r compared the 98 altima to the HCH2 than the new altima hybrid from what u said... Altima is not all that great yet but atleast i have no problem yet for the first 4500 milage i have. i have no ideas how much to change the timing chain but if u take good care of your car shouldn't need to change atleast till 120K or so. i'm sure u get more gas out of the HCH2 but once u have 4 or 5 people in the car than u know what i'm talking about.
Yeah, Altima is using the Toyota hybrid but not the Engine and they run the hybrid different. Camry get beter gas but Altima has more power. Both are great car but u really need to tested drive both to see which fit u better.
