Great Vehicle!
Source: MSN Autos

...Pros: Beautiful vehicle with plenty of power. The leg room for a convertible is outstanding and very comfortable for four.
Cons: You have to be very careful while backing up due to the high headrests in the back seat.
The rear window is small. When the top is down, it is much easier to see. Overall: Overall, I have enjoyed this car tremendously...

2008 Solara: A good alternative
Source: MSN Autos

...Pros: Have had the SE 4 cylinder for 2 weeks. I am getting 31+ mpg on average in the city and highway.
Car ride is very quite and solid construction. Worth a long look when compared to the Honda Accord Coupe.
I bought my Solara for 19K. The Honda was 2K more.
The Altima Coupe doesn't even compare. Acceleration is smooth for a 4 cylinder, fit and finish is quite good.
Cons: The seatbelt arrangement is awkward. The side view mirrors could be a little larger. Overall: Worth the money. Take a test drive before you buy the Honda or Nissan...

Best convertible I've owned.

..."For the smoothest ride, suggest lower tire pressure.
(Not their recommended higher level).You would not know it is a convertible unless the top is down.Rear window difficult to to see through. Only negative of the automobile."...

Nice, but a trans problem
Source: MSN Autos

...Engine gets good mileage. Cons: With the 4 cylinder engine, the auto trans has a very noticeable delay and lag in downshifting. It can be down right dangerous when you need quick acceleration. There is a computer reprogamming that the dealer installed, but it made no difference. Dealer said it was the "design" of the electronic controlled trans. Although, I like the car otherwise, this problem is overshadowing the good things, and I may end of trading much much sooner than I had planned. I've driven Toyos for 20 yrs and never had a transmission act like this. Overall: If you overlook the poor...

Grammy's Choice

...Pros: tHERE IS SOMETHONG WRONG WITH THIS DATA, YOUR SYSTEM WILL NOT UPDATE THE CORRECT LENGTH OF TIME I'VE OWNED THIS CAR - 8 YEARS
!!! I've had this car since it came off the dealer lot, it's great.
Extremely reliable, comfortable, peppy and fun to drive.
My grandsons' think it's "cool" and the older of them is looking forward to driving it when he get's his permit in 1-1/2 years.
I hope it continues on, I'll try my best to maintin it properly.
I've had many vehicles in my years, all of which I purchased new or 1-1/2 year old, and this is by far the most outstanding...

Dreampt it ! Got it !!!!
Source: MSN Autos

...Pros: It meets my criteria, 4 comfortable seats, trunk room for my clubs, stylish (turning heads in this 55+ community) sporty without sacrificing comfort, responsive, top not a project to handle.
Elegant appearance in black with tan top which screams "classy" as opposed to "midlife crisis".
Same look would cost thousands more. Cons: Visibility out rear window.
The headrests really do interfere with the ease of
backing up which does improves greatly with the top down Overall: I researched thoroughly before buying and waited to get a vehicle that met my needs and I'm glad I...

Why should I also consider these?

The Nissan Altima Coupe has a look reminiscent of the last Chevrolet Monte Carlo, along with four- and six-cylinder engines.

Similar powertrains are available in the Honda Accord Coupe, which also comes with a six-speed manual transmission and a smart, new exterior shape.

The Chrysler Sebring Convertible and Pontiac G6 Convertible offer top-down seating for four, but both have average handling, and the Chrysler is styled poorly.
