Classic Cars Nissan

Don’t you just love it when you get a bonus? For example, you buy your box of cereal and, instead of one decoder ring, there are two? Well, I had that happen a few months back with my Nissan Altima Hybrid.

It was late March and, of course, I still hadn’t filed my taxes. I set aside an entire weekend to get everyting put into the tax software I was using. It was Sunday afternoon and the software popped up this question:

“Have you purchased a qualifying Hybrid vehicle?”

I’d completely forgotten about the tax credit available for those that buy a hybrid. It was just like finding that second decoder ring. No, maybe it was more like finding a $20 bill in your pants pocket when you take them out of the dryer. Either way, you get my point.

See, I didn’t buy the Nissan Altima Hybrid to save on taxes. I bought it for two reasons: First, I’ve always loved Nissan cars. Second, I wanted to do something good for the environment. The tax credit, even though the salesman at the dealership pointed it out, wasn’t really on my mind.

The same sort of thing happened to me the other day at the gas station. I pulled in behind a big SUV; I think it was a Suburban. Anyways, before I lifted the nozzle, I could see the owner’s gas bill. It took $125 to fill his tank; mine took $50.

When you think of the Nissan Altima, you’re more likely to think “family vacation car” than you are “sleek and sporty.” Well, with the release of the 2008 Altima Coupe, Nissan is offering its buyers more choices. Like the Honda Accord Coupe and the Toyota Camry Solara, the Nissan Altima Coupe appeals to more than just a family with kids. The 2008 Nissan Altima Coupe brings “sleek and sporty” to the Altima line of cars.

When you step on the lot of your local Nissan Dealer, you can tell right away that the Altima coupe is more than just a 2-door version of the Altima sedan. In fact the two have only a single body panel in common. The Altima Coupe is cozy, and it is designed to handle beautifully.

Perhaps the best part about the Altima Coupe is its power. The Altima Coupe beats out both the Honda Accord Coupe and the Toyota Camry Solara when it comes to power. That is, in large part, because the Altima Coupe uses the engines and the transmissions from the Altima sedan. That means that Altima Coupe owners can choose between a 175 horsepower 4 cylinder engine and a 270 horsepower V6. You can get either with a six speed manual transmission, or you can go with the Continuously Variable Transmission. The CVT is more efficient, helping to optimize the power of the engine and maintain better fuel economy.

While the body of the Altima Coupe may not resemble the Altima Sedan, much of the interior has been borrowed from its bigger cousin. The Altima Coupe has a comfortable layout, optional front bucket seats and a foot-operated parking break for the CVT or a handbrake for the manual transmission. The interior materials are above average, and have a nice look to them. Overall, the look of the Nissan Altima Coupe isn’t especially original. However, it is clearly recognizable as a Nissan. Assembly is solid, and on par with other Nissan vehicles.

There are two different trim levels when it comes to tires. You can have either 60-aspect on 16-inch wheels or a marginally wider 55-aspect on 17-inch wheels. The Breaks on the Nissan Altima Coupe function well, and you can rely on them to stop you when you need to stop.

If you’re looking for a 2-person coupe with reasonable fuel economy, plenty of comfort and style, look no further than the 2008 Nissan Altima Coupe. Come on by our local Nissan Dealer- Pennsylvania today and test drive one today.

For 15 years, the Nissan Altima has been a practical family sedan that also features excellent handling and performance that the car enthusiast enjoys. The newest generation of the Altima was introduced in 2007, and has the features, power and finesse you’ve come to expect from Nissan cars .

There is plenty of competition in the area of family sedans, yet the Nissan Altima has managed to distinguish itself. The optional V6 and sporty handling, combined with its ample power, is certainly a part of the reason behind the Altima’s success. Add to that the interior which is far and above the previous versions of the Nissan Altima, and you’ve got a major contender. The Nissan Altima now comes in a coupe, as well, which makes it even more competitive.

Strong styling has always been one of the characteristics of Nissan cars. The Altima, with its svelte look, is no exception to this rule. The CVT (continuously variable automatic transmission) is one of the best of it’s kind, and keeps your Altima humming right along.

The Nissan Altima with the V6 engine can go from zero to 60 in only 6.6 seconds, which is an amazing rate for a family sedan. That rate is using the CVT, as well, proving the sheer power of that component.

There is enough room inside the Nissan Altima sedan for four 6-foot adults to travel with a reasonable degree of comfort. The interior layout is much better than previous generations of Altimas, as well.

For 15 years now Nissan has been selling the Altima, a 5 passenger family sedan that still appeals to auto enthusiasts. In 2008, Nissan has added the Nissan Altima Hybrid to the Altima family. Currently the Nissan Altima Hybrid is only available in California, New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Vermont, Rhode Island, New Jersey, and Maine. It has been certified by the IRS, and the EPA designated it an Advanced Technology Partial Zero Emissions vehicle.

For those unaware of how a hybrid vehicle works, the car is able to turn the force of deceleration that occurs during braking into energy that is used to recharge a battery. The battery then runs the car, only using the gas powered engine when there is not enough charge left in the battery. As well as being technically advanced and environmentally friendly, perhaps the most noticeable advantage to drivers is that the Nissan Altima Hybrid is able to provide a whopping 35 mpg in the city, and 33 mpg on the highway.

This also means that unlike a traditional gas powered car, the Altima Hybrid is actually more efficient in the city than on the highway as the starting and stopping of city driving keeps the battery charged and the engine is used less often.

While being ecologically friendly, make no mistake: this is still a Nissan Altima. Drivers can expect the same exhilarating experience from the Altima Hybrid as the have come to expect from the Nissan Altima. It comes with a four cylinder 2.5 liter engine with 198 horsepower. Power is transferred from the gas powered engine and electric motor using an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission, which makes for a very smooth and comfortable ride.

Stability and traction control are also included for safety, as well as Nissan’s advanced airbag system and anti-lock brakes. And while the Altima Hybrid is transferring braking power into storable energy for the battery, there is no interference with the feeling of the brakes.

For technophiles, the Altima Hybrid with the technology package option offers more technology than just the hybrid engine. An extremely user-friendly Bluetooth system allows hands-free calling with an LCD touch screen display for setup. The package also includes a 9 speaker Bose audio system with a 6 CD changer and MP3 compatibility, Radio Data System (RDS), and speed sensitive volume control that automatically adjusts the volume according to the speed of the vehicle. It also includes satellite radio and a GPS system with XM NavTraffic.

For 15 years now Nissan has been selling the Altima, a 5 passenger family sedan that still appeals to auto enthusiasts. In 2008, the Nissan Altima holds true to its reputation. With a host of standard features, 100 cubic feet of passenger space and 13 cubic feet of cargo space, there’s plenty of room to put 5 people and all of their belongings.

Two major models of the Nissan Altima are currently available, the Altima 2.5 S and the Altima 3.5 S with a hybrid version available only in a few chosen states. The Altima 2.5 S comes with a 4 cylinder 2.5 L engine producing 175 hp and 180 lb-feet of torque.

Fuel efficiency is rated at 32 mpg in the city and 46 mpg on the highway with a 6-speed manual transmission. The Altima 3.5 S comes with a powerful 3.5 L V-6 engine, pulling a huge 270 hp and 258 lb-feet of torque. The 6-speed automatic transmission and larger engine still boast impressive fuel efficiency, at 25/37 mpg, despite the V-6 engine.

However, when it comes to driving these cars, perhaps the most impressive feature is the push button ignition. No more inserting a key; to start either vehicle all one has to do is push a button on the dashboard to start the engine, as long as the keys are in range of the vehicle. This feature really provides a feeling that one is in the presence of the car of the future.

The interior of the Altima 2.5 S and 3.5 S is no less impressive. A 6 speaker AM/FM radio with CD player and MP3 input is standard on both models, however Nissan hasn’t forgotten the true music enthusiast. As an optional upgrade, drivers can purchase a Bose audio system with AM/FM/in-dash 6-CD changer with 9 speakers, Radio Data System (RDS), and MP3/WMA CD playback capability. Illuminated steering wheel mounted audio controls are available on the 2.5 S and standard on the 3.5S, and speed sensitive volume control is also an option.

Both the Altima 2.5 S and 3.5 S were designed with safety in mind. Each model comes with front and side airbags, complete with Nissan’s Adavance Airbag System technology and seat belt sensors. Neither has Nissan forgotten the rear passengers, with roof-mounted curtain side-impact supplemental airbags for front and rear-seat outboard occupants head protection. An energy absorbing steering column is able to take up some of the energy created in a collision, and rounds out the safety feature that come standard in both models.
