Hello, what is the difference between 08-13 Altima coupe and sedan, in terms of handling (such as change lanes at high speed)?

My 08 Altima 2.5 sedan is 155,555 miles now, and I want to sell it before the CVT dies (230,000 miles approx.)

Right now I am considering Altima coupe manual transmission, 2004-2006 automatic Maxima, or Titan (with Frozen Rotors & Hawk Pads).




Does the Altima coupe handle better than the sedan? Thanks!

I'm surprised your CVT lasted 155k miles!
You've never had it replaced?

Sorry I couldn't answer your question.

I've raced a stock sedan in my coupe and it was much more superior in speed (stock 2 stock) both being qr25de, In handling my coupe is pretty amazing as it sits and hear it has a lot more room to grow with sway bars, I also hear the manuals are amazing. Also congrats on keeping a cvt that long.

This guys 2.5 has went past 300k.

So we know that qr25de is rated for 300k miles

But he had a transmission change at 60k, so his CVT is actually 240k miles

Mine, I dont know. When I bought it, it is already 120k miles. Now it is 156k miles.

So, Altima Coupe is swifter than a sedan??

Now I am also considering 1988 300zx, 1993 240sx, they seem to stay forever.

Lol. I watched too many Wangan Midnight anime.

The Altima coupe with manual transmission is an good car to consider.
