Honda vs. Nissan: Which builds a better coupe?

2nd Opinion -- Blackett

It was just a few years back when I first drove a Nissan Altima Sedan 3.5 SE with a six-speed manual transmission. Despite an extreme affinity for torque steer, the engine’s power and the car’s practicality made it a winner in my mind. I viewed the same-generation Accord as a perfectly acceptable vehicle…devoid of a soul. More recent variants have reaffirmed these positions, until this test. Honda’s refinement in terms of construction and handling came as a surprise, as did the Altima’s relative weakness in these areas. With this newest iteration, the Accord Coupe breathes some of the fire found within its stablemates, the S2000 and Civic Si.
