Had my mid-life crisis a bit early and opted to trade-in my Saturn VUE for something more sporty. I saw a few of the Altima Coupes on the road and decided I needed to drive one. 53,000 miles later, it's still a great car to drive. I wanted all black, V6, fully loaded and after waiting patiently a few days, my dealer was able to get one. The look of the vehicle is great. Sometimes I think there is a bit too much hesitation when I go from reverse to drive. However, overall, it is just a great car with great acceleration and handling and very good gas mileage. While not the ideal family vehicle, I can fit all 3 kiddos in the backseat.

I have to say this car has been very good to me. Full loaded everything still works, 6spd still at 75 to 80 mph averaging 32 to 34 mpg. I haven't done much except change tires and brake pads . I Only use fully synthetic oil. Down fall is the dash gets very sticky in the summer heat as if kinda melting.

Purchased a great looking Nissan Altima coupe for 8300.00.it is a 2009 with 86.000 miles,drove it a week and the cvt transmission went up,it was under factory warranty due to a class action lawsuit for faulty cvt transmission issues.after this,I read many reviews on the car,only to discover that this problem is common ,do not buy Nissan,it's horrible

I thought this car was going to solve my car buying woes...i was wrong. Its and okay car if you just want something to drive. I want personality in the car. Buy a civic coupe. Its cheaper. It gets really good gas mileage. The trunk is really small. I can fit 1 golf bag and a duffle bag...thats it. The sound system has good speakers for just the base model. If your gonna buy get a manual trans. Its gonna be more fun than the cvt...its boring. smooth ride. i will give it that. the interior is built around the driver and i feel comfortable when in it. Just really bored with car. Would be awesome as rear wheel drive.
