I have 98 Civic DX coupe, and my mom has a 2001 Altima, and I've driven both a great deal. When I try to throw her car around like I do my civic I get alot more hesitation and squeeling from the tires, maybe its the suspension and the fact that the car is a little bigger, but I don't care for it very much. Granted the Altima is much faster than my civic, and has a great engine sound, I'd still take my civic over it because its so much more fun to drive. If I dragged everyone I know I would pick the altima, but for carving up the curves in the hills, I want my civic. Plus my civic gets better gas mileage
