Other Choices:

The 2008 Nissan Altima Coupe has been introduced the same year that an all-new Honda Accord Coupe bows. Compared to the Altima Coupe, the Accord Coupe has a more elegant interior design that feels markedly more upscale. The Accord also rides a bit better than the Altima, though it doesn't feel as sporty. However, even in base-model form, the Accord Coupe comes with standard electronic stability control. Another rival is the Toyota Solara, but next to the Altima Coupe, the Solara really shows its age; the Solara's available V-6 can't match the Altima's V-6 in performance either.

    A Coupe rider

    After two road trips to California and Utah, I very much enjoy how the Coupe performed.In the 3 months I have had the Coupe, I finally saw another on the road. And what I saw was one stylish looking car. The Coupe rides well and drives like a clipper on the high seas..Fast abd sleek. The style lines are totally different and reflects a sportier life. The Azurl blue is just one rich looking color. Gas mileage.. 26.9mpg in all conditions w/ travel range up to 460 mile per tank.. This is my fun car.

    I have a 2007 Altima with about 39,300 miles on it. August, 2008 it started to lurching/hestitating on a regular basis. Bommariton Nissan in approximately 13 months has not been able to find the problem and fix it. I drove it about 160 miles today and it did 53 times. One time it did 29 times in about 10 miles. When it hesititaes the tachometer will go up about 500 from 2000 to 2500. Sometimes it will act like it is trying to die. I talked with a woman yesterday who has a 2008 Altima. She said that her car is doing also. She thought that was normal. She has about 23,000 miles on her car.
    The car generally has to be driven at highway speeds for at least 7 miles, although most of the time it takes 15 to 17 miles before it starts acting up. It occurs normally when I give it more gas. It also normally occurs when I slowed a little bit and then try to speed up. It normally occurs at 2000 RPMS. It occurred 15 times in about 5 miles. It reminds me of how older cars used to act when they had what I call a missing problem. Sometimes, it seems the engine is trying to die.
    Can anyone help me with this? Have you heard of this problem?
