Pros

Kelyless entry and fuel mileage

Cons

No reason to avoid other than some people may not see you driving down low.

If You Like The Way It Looks, Just Get One! You Will Love It! — This is easily one of the best cars I have ever owned and I have owned more than 30 in my lifetime. The Altima Coupe is all keyless and runs great! The styling isn't like anything else out there on the road, really. She is all problem free after 3+ years *(bought her in 2007) and still going pretty strong even after being in an accident with a full size truck. Big 4 cylinder *(2.5 liters - 175 HP) with great fuel mileage and a lot of fun to drive!

Best Nissan Coupe Io've Driven! — I often drive the 08 Altima coupe and I absolutely love it . Very responsive (even for the 4 cylinder) and smooth. Really comfortable and love the styling. Also the interior layout is wonderful. I have no negatives to report. I love this car

Sexy — I love the speed and acceleration of this car. I get lots of looks after a car wash, All it really needs are some brand new wheels to accentuate the exterior. I installed the rear spoiler which added more fancy to a sexy car.

My Car — FWD so kinda sucks in the winter but overall a great car. pretty fast great sound system and just good luxury quality vehicle. Cost is a bit high but you do pay for what you get. It comes with everything you want: sunroof, leather, 9 speakers, and of course a push start button so you never have to take your keys out of your pocket.

Sweet Ride! — Test drove the Altima 3.5 SE coupe with the Premium Package and C V T. Awesome car, Nissan has come a long way with the Altima. Felt just as quick as my Mustang GT, and handled better. The only thing I did not like about the car was that it required premium fuel for optimum performance, but I would definitely buy one if graduate school was not so expensive!

One Of The Best I've Ever Had, And I'm 63 — A little small to be family practical, a bit of a squeeze for a 250 pound guy to climb in, but once in, it's great. Probably the best car I've ever owned in many respects. I really need just a bit more room to cart about antiques!

Nissan Altima Coupe 3.5 Se Is An Amazing Car And I Am Extremely Happy With Purchasing It! — Acceleration is great, espsecially with the CVT transmission. Quality is great!! I think the car looks hot inside and out. Gas seems a little more pricey than my other car due to the bigger tank and the recommendation for premium gas. I love driving my car, it's awesome without being too flashy.

Awesome!. Buy One And Drive. — I love driving this car. The upgraded transmission is awesome, this baby just keeps accelerating. Car is designed well inside & out and I get over 24MPG mixed driving. Not a problem in the first 10K miles. Added High Intake Air Flow and catbak exhaust without a hitch.

Good Looking Fun! — I have to say this is a very fun and good looking car. The performance is as good as a 4 cyl. can get, more upgrades to come soon. I would reccomend this car to anyone who would want a reliable fun car.
