Why We Drove It: The Nissan Altima Coupe is among the most fuel-efficient vehicles in its class when equipped with the standard 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine. The only vehicle available to us for a test drive was the V-6.
In surveys that J.D. Power and Associates has conducted with verified owners of the 2008 Nissan Altima Coupe, the people that actually own and drive one told us:

“On rough roads and potholes, suspension is too stiff for small and light vehicle.”

“Very rigid suspension. [I] feel every bump, not a smooth ride on poor road.”

“Rear window [is] large enough for good view, but when raining visibility is obscured.”

“Rear view visibility is poor.”

“Engine provides plenty of power when needed and still [gives] 32 mpg average mileage.”

“Excellent performance and good economy.”

“Seatbelts are uncomfortable for those of us under 5-ft. 5-in.”

“[My] clutch assembly…failed in less than 100 miles.”

“Exterior styling [is] good [but] limited color choice.”

“Paint chips very easily.”

“Road noise is loud, especially with back seats down.”

“The 3.5-liter V6 with CVT is amazing.”

“Back seat [provides] limited headroom for tall people.”

“Trunk is smaller than average.”

“Great interior and exterior styling.”

“Good quality and comfort.”

“Great power and acceleration.”

“Fun to drive!”

My manual clutch failed at 225 miles and now is slipping at 13,500 miles. Dealer says something about fixing a switch in the cabin on the clutch that is hanging up and causing clutch to wear excessivly. Has anyone else had this problem.
