Hi all,
Just joined and am already requesting help
I am looking at a new MS3 and the new Altima Coupe and was curious about everyone's thoughts and opinions. I am leaning toward the MS3, but really like the more luxorious (sp?) interior of the Altima.

Thoughts?
Are there tbe for the MS3? I have seen alot of posts on the cbe, but not many on tbe.

Thanks,
Jerry

 

Y'lost me on the whole tbe/cbe thing.
Look Jerry, if you lean more toward sportier, fun to drive cars, the MS3 is for you. If you need (or want) a nice, mellow family sedan, the Altima is your choice.
The two are quite different, and not even in the same class of automobile. The MS is still considered a compact, whereas the Altima is a mid-sized sedan.
It's really that simple.

 

Thanks for the reply. I was actually talking about the Altima coupe. already have the sedan (wife's car).
cbe= catback exhaust, tbe is turboback exhaust.

Thanks again,
Jerry

 

CPE makes a turboback exhaust. a few guys over on TM3 have it.

imo, the ms3 is more of a sleeper, cuz not everyone is aware that the car even exists.
they just look at it and think its just a normal mazda3

 

Well, then I'd say you need a change, something different in the family.

 

Well the MS3 gives you four doors as well, so if that's something you want (or don't want) it should help with the decision.

 

Myself, just looking at the numbers, I would take the MS3, lighter and more nimble. Although the Nissan has 7 HP more, it is also 300 pounds more in weight. Plus the Mazda looks better [8D]

 

definitly the ms3. iunno i dont like the altima that much.. plus your choosing between a hatchback and coupe... consider this.. if you ever have to take the kids or something (if you have kids) somewhere then it is a pain in the *** with a coupe moving the seats all the damn time.. plus i think the ms3 might be faster then the altima plus the ms3 looks prettier lol

 

You'll like the extra space the MS3 hatch gives you when you need to bring large items home from the store...

 

yea a coupe cant do that.. 60/40 split is the greatest thing.. my brother has a gigantic hockey back *he is a hockey goalie which is why everything goes into it right* and i have the 2008 mazda3 sedan.. and the 60/40 split seats are great.. its the same thing with the ms3 they have them for the big purchases like a big tv or whatever you need to carry.... the altima.. not soo much lol
