Just test drove the 08 Altima Coupe

[JohnCU]

Wow, this car screams. I tried the 07 4cylinder Sedan and it was okay, but for fun he let me try the 08 Coupe. amazing speed and looks great.

Afterwards I went and drove the Accord Coupe V6. Nice, but not as fun to drive as the 3.5 V6 Altima. The manual option is smooth and the CVT is even smoother.

The coupe is way too hard to find right now and I kinda like the idea of having more room so gonna go pick up the 07 sedan next week hopefully.

Awesome, 2.5 or 3.5?

Coupe versions of sedans are for poseurs anyway. Same weight, same wheelbase, same everything except a more sloped rear window and 2 doors.

Except for the fact that the Altima coupe is lighter, has a smaller wheelbase, and "fresh body panels."

That's good then. First one I've heard of like that in recent years.

Damn, just ignore him.

How did you like the clutch and shifter on the manual ones? Would you buy a MT over the CVT?

I was surprised at how smooth the CVT was, I mean, it was like having a manual because there was no delay, just tap down or up and there ya go.

and yeah, i'm not a car pro, so I called it a v4, my bad. I assumed it v4, v6, etc

Sure there is. Don't really see them on cars, though. Plenty of space and the inline configuration has better balance.

3.5, no comparison to the 2.5

I would wait for the 08 Accord coupe, if it looks like anything like the concept car, it is ftw.

 

[maddogchen]

looks nice, but dang a loaded 3.5 v6 costs around 30k. Thats too much!

It's just an expression. Loads of torque can slingshot the car forward, making you neck "snap."

258 lb-ft of max torque isn't going to snap anyone's neck unless you've pencil neck.
