2009 Nissan Altima Coupe

Fri, 14 Nov 2008 10:45:07 -0500

The 2009 Nissan Altima Coupe is a marginal update to the previous year's newly introduced 2008 Altima Coupe. While the models between the two years are almost identical save for some minor improvements on the 2009 - including a higher-finish grille and larger wheel sizes on the more expensive trim levels - the differences with the Altima Sedan are quite significant. Most obvious is the exterior styling of the two cars as the Coupe has both a shorter wheel-base and shorter height to achieve a sportier look while sacrificing interior room, particularly in the trunk area. Interior-wise both cars feature a very similar setup using the same engine and offering almost identical packages. The Altima Coupe stands out somewhat from the crowd, and even from the Sedan model, as the base packages include a relatively large amount of premium features including heated seats, 6-speaker audio system, side airbags, moonroof, power-everything, etc. There are 2 main trim levels with an optional premium package per trim.

2007 Nissan Versa

Tue, 26 Sep 2006 12:35:16 -0400

Unlike Nissan's competition in the minicar market the Versa started life as a luxury subcompact car in other parts of the world. When the minicar market started to boom in North America Nissan already had the Versa (known as the Tiida in other markets) and brought the 2007 version over. Despite the economy nature of the minicar market Nissan opted to retain the luxury roots when they brought the Versa over.

The Versa comes in four configurations, a hatchback and sedan version, and then the lower end 1.8S model, and higher end 1.8SL for both styles. There is no difference between the hatchback and sedan including the price, the only difference is the amount of interior room that is available. On that note, the interior space of the Versa is the most out of all the minicars on the market, as the Versa has the same amount of interior room as a mid-size car, even though Nissan markets it as a minicar. Leg room is the area where the Versa comes top in class, as there is 38 inches of rear leg room which is the most in the class, and even compares to many SUVs, in fact the Armada is the only car in Nissan's entire lineup that has more rear legroom.

Storage capacity on the hatchback is 17.8 cubic feet with the seats up, which is less than the Honda Fit and 50 cubic feat with the seats folded, which is more than the Fit.

The engine is 1.8L DOHC, with 4 cylinders producing 122HP at 5200RPM. 6 speed manual transmission is standard for both the S, and SL models. A 4 speed automatic transmission is available for the 1.8S, with the higher end 1.8SL automatic receiving the new Continuously Variable Transmission system (CVT) system. CVT works by using a system of levers and pulleys that eliminate the need for distinct gears, and instead the gear ratio is in constant change to reflect the optimum power output that is necessary for the particular driving scenario. CVT systems are available on other cars, and they have the added benefit of substantially increasing fuel efficiency while taking a hit on performance compared to the more traditional transmission systems.

Features wise the Versa comes standard with air conditioning; CD stereo system with four speakers; front, side and curtain airbags; high quality soft plastic interior lining; rear defroster system; and a tire pressure monitoring system.

Upgrades from the 1.8S to 1.8SL model

automatic transmission moves from traditional 4-speed to CVT
included security system
stereo upgrade to six speaker system with mp3 input jack
cruise control
and other optional packages that are only available on the 1.8SL model

2007 Nissan Sentra

Mon, 02 Apr 2007 12:12:14 -0400

Going without a redesign for six years (2000-2006) the Nissan Sentra moves up Nissan's line up with a massive redesign for the 2007 year. Nissan joins the other car manufacturers in moving their traditional sub-compact cars into the compact range, which keeps the Sentra competitive with cars such as the Honda Civic.

The Sentra is powered by a 2.0L 4 cylinder engine that produces 140HP at 5100 RPM. A rarity for this class of cars is the standard 6-speed manual transmission, a Continuous Variable Transmission (CVT) is the only available automatic option and the highest end SL model is available with only an automatic CVT.

Moving from the 2006 to 2007 remodel and upgrade, the Sentra underwent an upsizing. Overall the car isn't much bigger than its predecessor, however inside the Sentra is one of the top in class for interior space. Passenger space is 97.4 cubic feet with 13.1 cubic feet of storage in the trunk. The rear seats are 60/40 foldable, meaning they can be folded forward to create a flat space to dramatically increase storage capacity. Nissan has also included a large amount of storage compartments for convenience, one of which is the Divide 'N Hide capability in the trunk which allows for a removable wall to split the trunk into two separate spaces (base model not included).

Nissan has included many safety features standard. Six airbags (including side curtain and side front), active head restraints and a tire pressure monitoring system. However, anti-lock brakes are only available as an option for 2.0 and 2.0S and comes standard on only the 2.0SL trim.

Trim Levels

Sentra 2.0 ($14,750) includes air conditioning, 15" steel wheels, remote manual mirrors, power windows and locks, electric power steering, and AM/FM/CD stereo system with four speakers.

Sentra 2.0S ($15,650) replaces the 15" steel wheels with 16" alloys, the stereo system is upgraded to six speakers

Sentra 2.0SL ($18,400) adds leather interior, anti-lock brakes, keyless ignition, cruise control, and bluetooth hands-free.
