This car has been the best car I have had!

This car has been the best car I have had! I bought it when it had 52K miles on it and it now has over 235K and still running strong. I haven't had to do much to it other than regular oil changes. Everything still works just like it did when I Bought it.

Great car for the price.

This car has never failed me, except when it needed a new battery. It only has 79000 miles on it, but I was 77 yrs. old when I bought it, and am now 91 yrs. old. I made long distance trips in it when I was younger. I drove it to Wyoming a few times and Florida and Hilton Head. Now I primarily use it to go to play golf once a week during Spring, Summer and Fall. I believe this was one of the best years for the manufacture of the Nissan Altima, as Consumer Reports has not had much good to say about the ones manufactured after the 2008 model.

Awful quality

Bought as my first car and unfortunately things started falling apart after purchasing. Wild issues such as a melting dash and massively leaky sunroof makes it easy to steer people away from this vehicle. V6 was very fun to drive though

Best car I’ve owned.

Quick acceleration when you need it. Id get a Rogue if they had a Turbo option! Good gas mileage. Very reliable. Best car I’ve owned.

Beautiful design on the 2008 Altima Coupe

We can’t stop staring at how nice looking this car is. The red Altima Coupe V6 is a thing of beauty lots of pep for a little car with a 270 HP engine. Bose sound system has amazing sound using an Aux cable for sound. Bluetooth in 2008 was only used for calls so no Bluetooth music hookup.
