| I always love the Maxima, since its 2nd gen. Luxury with decent power, yet quiet and comfort. Although it has one of the ugliest rear end on this planet (SE with darken tail lights does look acceptable), I think I can stand it :D . Oh, forgot which year they started to have independent rear suspension, but the 02 model has that 3.5 V6, VERY powerful for a mid size sedan, even against some so-called sports cars! It's the best bang for the buck in its class, you won't regret it. |

I liked Maxima since I bought my first car, its so fast and powerful, I would choose the Manual transmission if I could, so much more power.
:D |

The new Maxima is amazing! I've driven many of them and have enjoyed each.
If I were to buy the new one, I'd take a blue SE with the 6 speed. The manual seems to have more get up and go, than does the automatic. If I'm not mistaken it has 250hp on that 3.5 V6, and dont forget the heated seats and steering wheel... excelent in the winter. The sports suspension and the bridgestone potenza tires... I also think it has a factory bose stereo, in any case it pounds pretty good... the power windows, seats, and sunroof... and of course HID lights and foglights even though you'd probably never need them....
In my opinion, if I had that kind of money I'd buy one... excellent value for the money, the next best is the Acura TL-S, then Infiniti G35, then the BMW's.... You have to consider the bang for your buck. :bigthumbup: |

Maybe it does, at least at Westend Nissan, they won't budge on teh price of the Altima 3.5, but they will on the Maxima SE then they're almost the same price :) I think I'd rather have a little bigger car for nearly the same price. A bit more convienient. Performance is great, but they're still "family" cars... Buy the 350z if you want performance.... |

Yeah, well, let's face it, I'm an old guy caught in a transition, so thank god for companies like Nissan who still make ass woopin' stuff like the V6 Altima.
We can purchase one under the guise of It's got bigger brakes and traction control devices to help you out of a tough situation... plus the 24ohp on tap... |
