Nissan Altima Coupe Overview
The 2009 Nissan Altima coupe enjoys excellent performance, no matter what engine is chosen. 4-cylinder engines, CVT transmissions and nissan altima accessories provide excellent acceleration (though not brute power), as well as good highway passing performance. The V6 engine kicks up the performance quite a bit, providing strength and power in all driving situations. The CVT performs quite well in all situations, though the manual transmission is a better option for those who want a sportier feel. Fuel economy is a high point for the Nissan Altima, with an average of 19 mpg for in-city driving and 24 mpg for highway driving with the V6 engine. The ride quality in the coupe is also excellent; it features sport tuning & provides a firm ride over all types of surfaces.
