Dear NOMS please complete your sentence “Honda is purely made in Japan,, while Altima is not !” and NOT means United States.

Altima is an amazing machine.

As owner of Altima 2008 model all i can say is that this baby is a mean looking and driving machine but lets look at facts here:

Honda Accord 3.5L V-6:

Horsepower @ rpm (SAE net): 271 @ 6200

Torque (lb-ft @ rpm) : 254 lb-ft @ 5000

Valve Train : 24-Valve SOHC i-VTEC®

5-Speed Automatic Transmission (available)/ 5-speed manual

Nissan Altima 3.5 V-6:

Horsepower @ rpm (SAE net): 270 hp @ 6,000 rpm

Torque (lb-ft @ rpm) : 258 lb-ft @ 4,400 rpm

Valve Train : 24-valve V6 DOHC

6-Speed Automatic Transmission / 6-speed manual Xtronic CVT™

9 BOSE Speakers/6 CD in dash Bose Audio System

Keyless Entry

Start/Stop Button.

Also just to give u a rough idea about the Altima's Ac as other have mentioned, just to understand this lets say the altima's ac goes from 1 speed (low) to 10 (highest) On the worst and most humid day i've never had to turn the ac on more than 3 speed and it cools the car in 2 mins max! LOVE the ac :P

Looks wise well i bought the altima for good power and looks, never liked the looks of the Accord, but the 2010 accord is really f'ing good on the looks department. I'd say if the 2010 model is available in Qatar go for it.

Price wise they are more or less the same.

I had experienced both Honda & Altima,

Honda is more smooth, while Altima is more sporty..

Honda is purely made in Japan,, while Altima is not !

Honda's parts are expensive while Altima's are cheaper comparitively.

But,Altima's shape is better than Honda..!

I don't agree with khatak

Honda have a great AC

i have tried altima and honda both

Nissan's have excellent AC's as well but

nothing like honda, altima doesn't come close to it in performance and reliability.

If you have an active social life and always want to hang-out with friends, choose Honda. It's the car for people who loves to interact with different kinds of people. Honda is a cut above the rest in terms of being classy. Performance wise, Honda is also better than Altima except that Altima's AC is better than Honda.

Engine size is same for a 2.5L, V4 and 3.5L, V6.

Nissan's AC is more effective...but the parts availability is an issue....Honda's AC is not that effective in Gulf Region....Altima is more sporty... Accord is more decent and elegant....

Now the choice is Yours....best of luck.
