GENERAL COMMENTS
 
" Amazed. I was in the market for a new car so i narrowed it down to two vehicles, g35 or maxima. I never got to test drive the G because the maxima to my breath away. I got it with everything but the sunroof and elite package. This car is very powerful. 265 ponies and 255lbs of torque. So far this is the best car I have ever owned. "

"Responsive, balanced, powerful engine. Quick, superior handling. Torque steer issues dampen the thrill, but still lots of satisfying fun - feels tight. Sports car looks in a sedan, roomy interior with yummy leather seats. Catchy exterior styling. Love the Sirius Satellite radio, heated steering wheel, main instrument cluster, 18 inch wheels. Satellite navigation system is cool, hard to see in bright sun. Attracts lots of attention. 'Z' nuances in body styling. Try all weather mats for superior sound attenuation."

"In a word...Wow. Great looking, great performing piece of machinery. Got a Silver 2005 SE with black leather, Bose, xenon, basically everything but the Nav (because I NEVER get lost, right?). Even splurged and got the 18' chromes, which really make the car. Funny that the 300C comes with plastic 'chromes' as that was a model I was considering. But this car looks like a Lexus GS430 and probably performs a lot like it, for about $20k less. And by the way, recently blew the doors off a Lexus IS 300! Considered an Altima SE-R, but the Maxima is much roomier inside and is a smoother ride. The 300C and G35x were nice, but didn't want to cough up an extra 7-10k. Lucky enough to work for a company that has a VPP with Nissan....saved me about $5000 off sticker. And at that price was too good to pass up."

"Came to test drive Max '05. Once I put myself in the car in the showroom I new I've bought it. Traded in my old '98 Maxima. What a car. Motor- marvelous. 265 hp Go find it elsewhere for $26,000. Dynamic, power... A little bit too noisy, though, but... You can give it some credit, it's your Maxima. "
Arthur C. (Flushing , New York - December, 2004)
 
"My husband brought me his car last month and it was everythng I wanted. With the V6 engine I have power, the comfortable interior is a plus, and the exterior is beautiful."
Joyce J. (West Covina , California - December, 2004)
