3.5SE and 2.5S

[08coupedriver]

It's just for Fun but lets see what kind of coupes we all have on the forum

[08altima35]

we all know the best coupe nissan brought to the table.

[opekone_1988]

It was tough deciding from either getting the 4cyl or 6cyl.. but then took the gas prices into consideration and I'm sooo freaking glad I got the 2.5L.. not hurting my wallet so much.

[FGFCacoupe]

Have a 3.5 and all I can think about is more power.

That right... 3.5 CVT FTW!!!

yeah I feel you.. I understand folks concern about the gas... but premium is only 20 cents more than regular... so at 17 gallons, you save $3.40 per fill up, so even if you fill up 6 times a month which is 1.5 times a week, you're saving $20 a month... IDK... doen't seem that big of a difference in the long run, especially since I blow way more than $20 on **** every month... but hey i own a 2.5 also, and I enjoy filling up at the 20 cents a gallon less when I fill my wife's car up

2.5 CVT here. I think that combo is the most common one; not only on the forum, but on the streets as well from what I see. Major fan of my 24-25 mpg (strictly city driving)...

[Canadian Coupe]

Wow. Lot's of 2.5'ers.

[spockrock]

I have seen about 4-5 altima coupes in my area all of them but mine are 2.5's/

[Dr4gonCoupe]

i don't know but the 2.5 does hall ***.

i had a 97 jeep grand cherokee before this and i moddified the hell out of it. but it didn't have as much torque as this 4 cyl i have now.

[BlackNWhite]

2.5 alll the muthafuggin wayyyyyyyyyy.

[08coupedriver]

no offense to all the 2.5ersbut i used to have a spec-v and now i have the 3.5and nothing beats this VQ engineone of the best V6's ever made

Wow....that's it? 24-25 city? I'm getting 23 city only and I've gotta 3.5.

[nogears909]

2.5 here, iw sih i could have afforded the 3.5, but im very happy with my purchase

[Flypinoy457]

Yeah I have been averaging 22 mpg and I'm also 3.5 6speed. and very happy with my choice and MPG

[08coupedriver]

yea don't get me wrong the I4 nissan makes is a awesome torque engine but it can't be compared to the VQ

I'm getting 22 mpg in the city pretty good for a big V6

[Scandinavian Flick]

the problem with the 2.5 is that its missing 2 cylinders

[08coupedriver]

Carefull....you'll create mass "cylindar envy."

[Scandinavian Flick]

Carefull....you'll create mass "cylindar envy."

and then those with the 2.5 will start talking about how each of there individual cyclinders displace 0.625 liters, and the 3.5's individual cyclinders only displace 0.583 liters, and how theres are bigger.. and it will be complete chaos...

[Rob.Vegan]

I have a 2.5S CVThowever i wanted the 3.5SE 6speed

my parents were paying for the car so i am not complaining at all

[altimacoupelvr]

well i'm getting 28-30 mpg city but that is only mostly going to work and around base....which is only 25 mph!! but hey i'll take it. i did get 38 on the highway going to va beach so i'm happy bout that. oh and i might be getting a future v6. my hubby told me the other day why dont i get the v6 and he'll take my 2.5!!!! i was like well ill like to wait for the new body style in a few years!!!!

Very, very smart man

[D-Roll]

2.5 6MT FTMFW!!!!!

[desertdragon]

The only 4 cilinder car I considered buying was the Mitsubishi EVO X, but I ended up buying the AC 3.5 with CVT.

[Scandinavian Flick]

i went into a cell phone store the other day and one of the employees working there drives a 2.5 a/c, he came up to me and asked if mine was the 3.5 or 2.5, so i told him it was the v6, he then told me his was the 2.5 and that he bought it for the gas mileage, i said i bought the v6 for everything else. he quit talkin to me..... now thats cylinder envy...

[Mr. Music]

Wow....that's it? 24-25 city? I'm getting 23 city only and I've gotta 3.5.

For real? Coming from 12-13 mpg (V8 truck), 24-25 is a lot to me anyway, lol.

Now that's funny.

Also what a lot of people don't think about is that premium also burns slower than regular.. hence better gas mileage.

[Scandinavian Flick]

to be honest i thought that the higher the octane the higher the resistence to premature detination. so i had to look into this, everything im reading says the octane number has nothing to do with the speed of which is burns or as to its power in detonation, but only that a high octane resists premature detonation better then a lower octane

[Scandinavian Flick]

more thought.. also the reason for the better gas mileage is because with lower octane fuel if the fuel knocks/pings, the engine retards the timing as to not screw the engine up, and its not running at its full potential, as it does with high octane which wont knock/ping.

post script. sorry for thread jacking
