Introduction
Sooner or later, most everyone reaches that point in life the place they feel compelled to trade their fashionable, fun-to-drive set of wheels in for something extra sensible. What many do not notice, nonetheless, is that vehicles like the 2012 Nissan Altima do not drive you to choose between these two extremes.
Whereas both the midsize Altima sedan and Altima coupe are handsome automobiles, that is solely a part of their appeal. Choose the V6-powered 3.5 SR model, for example, and you'll get each a sturdy 270-horsepower V6 engine and a firmer suspension that makes this Altima feel more like an expensive sport sedan. Even without these upgrades, the entry-stage 2.5 and midrange 2.5 S fashions provide a decidedly more engaging driving expertise than you'd anticipate from such practically oriented automobiles.
