08 altima
 

so im wonderin if anyone knows about the new 08 altima. i saw one on the road and i heave herd that there within my price range so im gona go to nissan tomorrow and see about mabey getting one .anyone know anything about them and if its worth buying or not?

Well, the V6 is the same one in the Zed, Maxima, and Murano. Good motor. The coupe has a good rear, but I don't like how the they shortened it up. CVT sucks, I'm pretty sure its offered. Not sure if theres an 08 SE-R.

im actuley leaning more towars the 4 cylinder i dunno why i drove a 4 door and there quick as hell but the 2 door just looks real good i was thinkin of just gettin a nice 4 cylinder stick shift with mabey leather seats and a sun roof i dont need anything to serious if i can afford it ill get a 6 though

What are your wants/needs?

basicley 2 doors and stick shift im sick of auto.

can you please explain why cvt sucks? just curious of your thoughts.

Yeah, i've heard about the 2008 Altima.

i think it looks insain remindes me of the G35 in a wierd way

Good looking car, definitely identical design cues with the G35! I like it though.

CVT sucks b/c it's not stick. That's the short answer.

I prefer to be able to control the car. The CVT in the Murano freaks me the hell out..and aren't there issues with adding power? They really can't handle that much, and I presume if a car comes with Xhp, you prolly want stick near to Xhp.

And then to iterate I don't do anything other than stick. But it's a personal preference. As is my dislike of CVT. Considering i've driven one many times over the past 4 years or so, I consider it a seasoned opinion, but an opinion none the less.

so bacicley its the same thing as skip tronic i hate that its so anoying my dads car has it. i know what you mena i like being in total controll of my car thats why i hate auto but im gona see about gettin on tomorrow they do make them in stick but there a lil hard to find but hey theres always the dx option.

Nah its pretty complex. Wiki it or something..in theory there is unlimited acceleration. Which is cool. But we haven't harnessed it yet..lol

lol o your talking about the belt drivin transmission lol no way i wont touch it i dont trust techknologey that came after me lol im just gona get a regular stick shift.

anyone picture of it?

CVT is Murano and new Maxima specific. The Altima is to low class to get it. There also wont be an SER model because the new 08's will easily over power and out perform. Also the reason that it looks like a G35 is because it is the same platform.

Umm..sure? I hope wiki's lying lol

The salesman at perruzzi said it didnt have it. Either way, the CVT trans is just fine. Who buys an altima for the purpose of upgrading it?

My bad though.

I saw a coupe on the road the other day, it looked hot. Looked like a new 350z

Agreed, I really like the coupe as well. What's your price range? The 2.5s starts around 21K, but with any decent options quickly hits mid 20's. In that price range, there are a LOT of choices for cars.

yeah the coupes are deff sweet.. im not a big fan of the 4 doors at all.. but that coupe won me over when i saw it on the road the other day.. 3.5 SE too..
