2009 Nissan Altima Coupe User Reviews

Pros

Pure 21st Century

Cons

none

Purchased As New

The electronics are space age!! Keyless ignition & CVT transmission are awesome. I purchased my 2009 in Jan. 09 and am still learning all about it's features and capabilities almost 2500 miles later. The Bose 9 spkr sound system is acoustically perfect as well as the 6CD in dash system. Superb gas mileage with excellent handling. The hands free Bluetooth is superior! Terrific vehicle....read morehide

Pros

exterior styling, great acceleration, push button start, keylessness

Cons

blind spots

Purchased As New

I love the fact that I don't ever have to get the key out to start the car or open the truck. Every time that I look at the car, I feel like it should be winding down a sinuous coastal highway at maximum speed or pulling up to a stylish nightspot. When I take it around a curve, it feels like it's on rails. The six speed manual let's me get the most out of the engine at any rpm. It's a fast, fun car that is extremely stylish....read morehide

Pros

41 mpg on hwy

Cons

None

Purchased As New

In 16 months, drove 19,000 miles, never failed.
Good economy, winter 28 mpg, other seasons 32 mpg.
Last try (3 hrs on hwy) at 60 mph gave 41.6 mpg.
Outside shape and inside comfort - all to my satisfaction.
Info panel, keyless start and CVT - additional nice features.

Pros

Great Looks, great MPG

Cons

small trunk and not enough space in the back seat

Purchased As New

I absolutely love this car! I have only had it for 2 months and it is beautiful! It drives very nice and the body is great. I have not had any issues or problems with it. Everyone compliments me on it. The only thing is that I should have gotten the premium package... but its still a really nice car. I love the fuel economy. Its really good with gas. So far the only thing I dislike is the small trunk space and the back seat. An adult does not fit comfortably in the back seat. Also, the transmission is a bit noisy but it doesnt matter because the audio is wonderful in the car! LOVE IT!...read morehide

Pros

Beautiful Exterior, Beautiful/Well Laid-Out Interior, CVT Transmission, Decent Handling, Powerful

Cons

Blind Spots, Small Back Window

Purchased As New

By the time I was ready to purchase a new vehicle, I had decreased my prospects from 6 to 2: The 2009 Honda Accord Coupe, and the 2009 Nissan Altima Coupe. After test drivin both about 3 times, I had to go with the Nissan. At first, I found the handling to be a little loose, especially for a "sports car", but after a day's worth of driving, it hits you that it still has decent handling, but still has a luxury feel to the steering. the Accord Coupe, is 100% sport, but that's not necessarily a good thing.

The Exterior is amazing. I look foward to red lights, just because I get looks from beside, in front, and behind me, all looking at my car. I've had the car 4 day's now, and i've already gotten 3 approving nods and 2 people roll down their windows asking aout the nissan coming in such an attractive coupe (i've been in Japan for 2 yrs away from "civilization", but apparently the coupe is fairly rare).

The interior almost sold me on the Nissan vs Accord alone. It's well laid out, the materials are all very nice to the touch, and the nobs/buttons are very sattisfying to turn/push. I have the tech package, and the GPS screen adds to the luxury feel, and the usablility is great.

The power is satisfying, especially with the CVT transmission. The accord coupe and the nissan coupe both have 3.5l V-6 Transmissions, but after 3 test drives each, its CLEAR that the the Atima Coupe is more powerful, and responsive. Since the engines are essentially the same, I'm guessing its do to the CVT.

Overall, a very smooth, yet sporty ride. I recommend fully loaded, as the leather interior is great, and the rear back-up camera is great (considering seeing through the back is tough unless your above 6 ft. As i've said before, the navigation system is also a must. A little expensive for my taste, and almost 5 grand more than a fully loaded Accord Coupe. Buttttt, after getting it down to around 31,000...its a great ride....read morehide

Had this car for about a year, my wife drove it home from the dealer and hasn't given it back yet. Car is powerful, sleek and a pleasure to drive. Had a minor problem with a head light, but the dealer took care of it. Would definately buy this car again

Cons

I was the 1st person in houston to have this car. I am so in love with it . I get so many looks from guys and girls. The gas mileage is great and the dealer has been great about fixing any issues. I had this car for 2 years now and no problems as of yet. The on issue i have is that the back seat is so small, and the trunk you cant put anything in it. over all The look is great, it goes very fast, and the sound system is off the chain (while using my ipod) !!!!!...read morehide

Cons

I purchased the 2008 in May 2008. No problems and I have 10,000 miles on it. Driver's seat fits me like a glove. I bought the vehicle bare bones, automatic for under $20,000. It has a good speaker system and I just plug my iPod into the auxillary port and sounds great. Accelerates up hills just fine. Love this car! Glad to see they didn't change the exterior for 2009....read morehide
