Front Comfort, 2nd Place – 2008 Nissan Altima Coupe

Drivers who enjoy a more intimate experience may prefer the 2008 Altima Coupe, for out of the two vehicles tested here the Nissan boasts the more confining interior. Collectively, we preferred the more spacious Accord and noted the Altima’s lack of a telescoping steering wheel and lumbar adjustment, power or otherwise. That the Nissan was noisier didn’t help its cause. Points were awarded to the pro’s column for comfortable and supportive seats, a plethora of padding on armrests and window sills and, as a side effect of the tighter cabin, door armrests within close proximity. Also, the gearshift is located in a more natural position.
