I got my altima coupe in July 2008 right before i started college and have been a member of NICO Club (even though i very rarely post). the coupe was my first car and was problem free (had a few cvt scares when the transmission litterally just stopped and the car wouldnt accelerate while driving 70mph on the highway) throughout most of the 5+ years and 95k+ miles that i owned it but now that im a year out of college and financially stable ive chosen to move onto something better. On monday i traded in the coupe and got this

2008 Lancer Evo fully loaded with every option except for the aero kit and only has 33k miles. going from driving a 2.5 cvt altima coupe to a manual evo x has been a night & day difference in the few days that ive owned the car. although the evo is a much faster and more enjoyable car to drive than my altima ever was, i will miss the gas mileage that i used to get since im averaging a little over 15mpg since i bought the evo and commute 25miles each way to/from work.

Sorry to hear you're out of a Nissan, but the Evo is a step in the right direction!
