I just got myself a new 2008 Altima Coupe in the Niagara Grey!!! I am just loving the car...

I was driving a Infiniti G35X Sedan and boy what a big difference!!

1. Power2. AWD3. Steering Wheel!!

But i am happy with the purchase....its a great car!!

Few things i am not liking

1. Driver Passenger Seat Belt Ratling.2. A/T Gear Shift.... would prefer the Tiptronic to be on the other side...3. The Steering feels sooooo light...

Welcome aboard!

The passenger seat belt rattle has been a problem in the G35 coupe and now in the Altima coupe. I find that if I move the latch all the way up to the top it tends to stop for the most part.

As for the steering, well you'll get used to it.

Glad to hear your enjoying it!

What I meant to say the steering wheel felt heavier than the Altima.. I guess its bigger car.

Any other comments i would appreciate it...

Its a nice feature called Speed-Sensitive Steering....the faster your car the tighter and heavier the steering will get.....so when you're in a parking lot or sumthing...it's easier to manuever the car....i like it

i kinda picked up on this... i thought it was just FWD bc i was always a RWD guy... its weird though... in a tight situation, i think it may hurt rather than help...

Congrats and welcome!

The steering felt very very very light for me during the first 2 weeks. I got used to it though.
