This sentence is an example of personification. Personification is a figure of speech in which human qualities, characteristics, or emotions are attributed to non-human entities, in this case, to the car. The sentence describes the car COUGHING and SPUTTERING, which are actions typically associated with humans rather than inanimate objects like cars.
