2009 Nissan Altima Coupe
The 2009 Altima Coupe is Almost Too Hot to Handle!
Kelley Blue Book said of the 2009 Altima Coupe, "With two doors and a much sportier feel than the sedan, the 2009 Altima Coupe is a boldly-styled vehicle for those who want to get noticed." It's the car for those who feel youthful, want something sporty, and yet don't want to suffer through high operating costs to own it. Reviews noted its responsive steering and comfortable front seats. It seats five and comes in several different trim styles that offer a 170 horsepower 2.5L engine or a 270 horsepower 3.5L engine.
Besides its well-built 105,000 miles tune-up-free engine, the 2009 Altima coupe includes heavy-duty drivetrain features such as a Continuously Variable Valve Timing Control System, an aluminum-alloy cylinder block and heads, timing-chain-driven camshafts, front-wheel drive, an electronic drive-by-wire system, a Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System, and a a Nissan Direct Ignition System.
As far as driving impressions go Kelley Blue Book reported, "With a shorter wheelbase, lighter overall weight, sportier suspension and body-hugging seats, the Altima Coupe feels responsive, yet comfortable enough to drive in everyday traffic." Suspension and steering standard features on the 2009 Altima Coupe include independent strut front suspension, independent multi-link rear suspension, soft-mount front and rear suspension subframes, front and rear stabilizer bars, and vehicle-speed-sensitive variable-assist power rack-and-pinion steering.
Other important mechanical features that come standard include a space-saver spare tire, body undercoating, an aluminum-alloy hood, and 4-wheel power assisted disc brakes with variable ratio brake pedal linkage, an Anti-lock Braking System; and Electronic Brake force Distribution.
The exterior, which shares a platform and a hood with the Altima Sedan but has a slightly lower roof, shorter wheelbase, and larger tires includes halogen headlights with jewel-type reflectors and
outside mirrors with power controls. Kelley Blue Book adds, "... it looks much more aggressive and certainly sportier than its four-door relative."
The seating features include front bucket seats with a 4-way manual passenger's seat and 60/40 locking split folding rear seats. Kelley Blue Book notes, "The front bucket seats are unique to the Altima Coupe, adding body-hugging support padding and giving the interior a more sports car-like feel." You'll also enjoy features like an adjustable tilt/telescopic steering column, in-cabin microfilter HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning), a front-seat center console with an armrest, storage compartment; and 12-volt outlet, a front overhead console with sunglasses holder, and two front cupholders and two front door bottle holders. The interior is made even more accomodating with features like two 12-volt power outlets, a power trunk lid release, valet function and lockout, power windows with auto-up/down for the driver's window, power door locks with selective unlocking, steering wheel mounted cruise control, sun visors, remote keyless entry, Nissan Intelligent Key with push-button ignition, a Vehicle Security System, a trip computer (shows you average mph, distance to empty, etc.) and a vehicle information display.
The 2009 Nissan Altima makes a strong showing in the area of safety. You'll not only feel secure, but you'll have confidence driving those whom you cherish most with features like driver and front-passenger air bags (SRS) with dual-stage inflation, driver and front-passenger side-impact air bags, and roof-mounted curtain front- and rear-seat side-impact air bags.
The list goes on with features like point ALR/ELR front- and rear-passenger seat belts, a 3-point ELR driver's seat belt, front seat belts with pre-tensioners and load limiters, child restraint seat tether anchors, LATCH System, child safety rear door locks, an emergency trunk release, an energy-absorbing steering column, front and rear crumple zones, front-seat adjustable head restraints, rear-seat head restraints, front seat active head restraints, high-strength side-door guard beams, high-strength steel body assembly, a Tire Pressure Monitoring System, and Zone Body Construction.
