Nissan Maxima
 

So next week I open a savings account strictly for my car buying fund. The plan is next fall grab a good deal on a left over nissan maxima.

Anyone here own one or know someone that has one? "newer one of course"

Some may be asking why not a z? Simply put I can not afford the z. For my civic last year for full coverage was almost 610 but with two accidents coming off this winter this will help my insurance rates. But with a sports car they would almsot be in the 600 mark again. Plus the passenger room and the style of the front lights is like a z which I like. I will be getting the sports package for the suspension the HID's and rear led tail lights alos the leather.

NO one likes the maxima?

This is a Nissan 370Z forum. Think you might be lost ;)

I know where I am but I am also in the "other vehicles" section. :rolleyes:

I like the new Maxima. I'd definitely buy one if I wanted 2 more doors.

Ya that is the big reason I am getting one not to mention the looks.

i wonder what tha pricing is like?

We have a 2002 Maxima SE. Still running strong. Hated the 5th gen...bad styling, too bloated. Like the current 6th gen though.

I've had 2. A 2000 and 2002, both good cars. When 2005 came around I was looking to get another but was disheartened by the disappearance of the 6spd so I bought a left over 4 door G35. Best decision I ever made.

Both cars need snow tires to be winter drivable. The G35x with snows is a blast, just wish they would mate a manual to it.

if i was you i'd get an older g35

Get a Juke!

GMTraitor3.5 has one.

And he keeps it in great condition.

As far as a practical sedan, they're pretty cool.

I recently rented a 2010 Maxima and it is really a nice vehicle. The ride is a little soft for me, but if you order the SE model or a sport suspension if available, it would be fine.

I bought my 2010 Maxima SV in April this year and love it. 290hp VQ35DE-K absolutely screams. The CVT takes some getting used to, but after a few weeks you barely notice it. Manual mode via the console shifter or paddles in the SV Sport model are lightning quick.

The front seats are phenomenal. Huge side bolsters, tons of leg room in the front and rear seats, and lots of head room even with the sun roof. I'm 6'5" and I have more than enough room. The Bose 9 speaker stereo sounds great as well.

Honestly, I got my car for a steal. Sticker price on the SV with cold weather pkg was about 35K and I was able to get them down to 28,800. If you're looking to do some mods, the aftermarket is a bit small for the 7th gen Max at this point. Feel free to PM me if you want and I can give you some more details.
