Introduction

Compared to Accord Coupe

Reviewed: 2008 Nissan Altima

2dr Coupe 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed manual FWD

Why the 2008 Nissan Altima?

Reliability & durability

Car is approaching 60k and 5 years and still drives as new. Everything just continues to work.

Fuel economy

3.5 L, 6sp. 22 mpg in town and high 20's hwy. Have seen 32 at 70mph on cruise control. Runs fine on regular.

Cargo capacity

Trunk space is limited but seat backs fold for extra space.

Why Not the 2008 Nissan Altima?

Tires

Seems to eat tires. OEM tires replaced at 30k and replacement Dunlops only lasted 30k. Only area of unhappiness.

Conclusion

Compared it to the Honda Accord Coupe. In the Honda, HID lamps were not available and the center stack seemed overly "busy".
