I own a 96 Maxima 3.0 and love it! No problems whatsoever... I only wish it was a manual.. I've been considering the new one, but this Renault-Nissan thing just makes me uncomfortable, I like my Japanese cars to be really Japanese, not part French...
when seeing one on the road i always think it's an altima or when i see an altima i think it's a maxima...they look almost the same =/ i like the 09 max a ton better.
I perfer the 2004-2008..however the 07-08's are my 2 fav. years! The 2009's arent that appealing to me. I think Nissan could have done so much better with them. The front end looks like shit, as well as the rear end. The interior is nice, but I dont like the new seats, steering wheel, or dash setup. I understand that they are more powerful..which is a plus..but for me..I like the 07-08's. But again..thats just my opinion...
Nissan is by far the "Coolest" Asian import make. Sorry Honda and Toyota lovers but its true, i believe that Hyundai is second to Nissan with Honda in third place and Toyota keeping up the rear. Honda and Toyota build such generic looking cars with plastic generic interiors, its almost sad. When i drive a car i want to hear and feel power, i want to rely on handling, and i don't want to break it if i slam the door. Slam a Honda door and it sounds hollow, take a Camry through a turn "LOL"..
im getting my nissan maxima 2004 on july good fucking car....toyota and honda sorry my brothas but this car breaks does car in half.....cant wait gor my car damn it!!!!
