which coupe is better to have? - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

tripjammer · 08-18-2012, 11:14 AM

The altima and accord coupes are in their last model year of their current generation. They will be all new in 2013\14.

The 2014 Altima Coupe, will probably be CVT only like the altima sedan..

The 2014 Accord coupe will have a CVT for the automatic and a 6 speed for the manual tranny.

You should see both of these cars no later spring of 2013 as 2014 models. The accord sedan is coming this fall, the coupe a bit later.

The FRS is RWD and the accord and altima coupes are FWD.

Go FRS or BRZ.

If you're looking at the I4, yes. Otherwise the V6 is getting the 6AT only for the sedan, 6AT & 6MT for the coupe. I believe the embargo lifts on Monday, so all details will be known.

I thought Nissan was going to kill off the altima coupe, well thats what the word has been around the nissan forum I'm on. The altima coupe is an alright car I would actually take the sedan over it though (which I currently have) unless its a V6 with the manual. Just got my account validated here because going to purchase an FR-S.

The altima coupe is a girls car. Everytime i see one, there's a girl driving it. The vehicle itself gets crappy mileage (even the 4 cyclinder) and its down right boring to drive.

The accord couple feels like you're driving a boat and its not any more exciting than the Altima.

If you cannot see the obvious advantages of FR-S, then you don't deserve to drive the FR-S.

Why did u not mention the genisus couple? It's more refined then a frs/brz and the 2013 models have good exterior styling.

Don't be such a clueless child. There are girls on this forum. There are plenty of female FR-S drivers. I take no offense from girls or the cars they drive.

There are plenty of woman that own S2ks too...

Get the BRZ. Subaru and Toyota are known to be the best and reliable car manufacturer there is. You can't go wrong with either one.

I didn't say that an insult, instead just an observation.

The OP was asking for an opinion and that's mine.
