Honda vs. Nissan: Which builds a better coupe?

Handling, 2nd Place – 2008 Nissan Altima Coupe

Majority rules in tests like this, and since only one of the three editors preferred the Altima Coupe’s wild handling, the other two ruled the Honda Accord Coupe the winner. That sole voice lamented the Altima’s understeer but went on to describe the car as “very predictable, and powering through corners with 17-inch tires squealing as you set up for the next straightaway leaves a smile on your face.” Unfortunately, those smiles turn to frowns with the stiff ride, bump-steering that causes a temporary loss of control in corners, and vague steering feel on the highway. The brakes were too sensitive, but never lost their punch.
