Head-to-Head Comparison: 2008 Honda Accord Coupe vs. 2008 Nissan Altima Coupe
Honda vs. Nissan: Which builds a better coupe?
2nd Opinion – Beamesderfer
Despite these two being a close match on paper, when it comes to driving dynamics they are quite different. Where the Accord has a very good power band and sure-footed handling, the Altima struggles a bit at low rpm, exhibits more torque steer and bump steer, which was not very confidence inspiring. The Honda is a car that would be a pleasure to drive every day, whether commuting or taking a spirited trip on a favorite twisty road. While the Honda has the better interior overall, its climate controls were not as easy to use as the Nissan’s.
