Overall, the Nissan Altima is an excellent value for the money. If you’re looking for a sporty car for the family, or for a coupe that has plenty of room and trunk space, the 2008 Nissan Altima is the car for you. Visit your Nissan dealer today and give one a look.

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.

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.

Dual chrome exhaust tip finishers complete the racing look and feel to the vehicle.
On the inside, all of the Nissan 350 Z models sport a 7 speaker Bose 240 watt audio system with AM/FM/in-dash 6-CD changer and MP3/WMA capability.

The Nissan Navigation system, complete with GPS, a DVD atlas and 7” color display, is available for all four models, as well as a Bluetooth hands free system and automatic climate control. The rear view mirror automatically dims depending on lighting conditions, and for those extremely bright days one can reach for the shades held in the overhead sunglasses storage compartment.
