Bottomline The 2008 Nissan Altima Coupe provides most of the practicality of the Altima sedan, with a lot more style. The 2009 Toyota Camry remains one of the best choices for those looking for a reliable and roomy—albeit plainly dressed—family sedan. The 2008 Volkswagen Passat is a roomy, comfortable mid-size sedan that feels sportier and more luxurious than most.
