2006 Nissan Maxima

Pros: The look and style, the many features available and the amount of space available.
Cons: The only feature I did not like was the style of the console.

We had rented a 2006 Maxima while my car was in the shop and I totally loved driving this vehicle. It has a sporty yet classy look to it. The interior is comfortable in all seats for short and long trips. This car had tons of features, lots of space in the front and back and great horsepower. When you press the gas... it goes. Gas mileage was great as well. The only feature I did not like was the styling of the console with the silver plating. When the sun is shining just right this reflects into your face. I was very sad to return to my 2003 stratus after it was fixed.

Pros: Fast
Cons: Read above

I've had this car for 6 months now. What a mistake! This car has a very bad turning ratio. Does not handle cornering smoothly. Not roomy enough for a big and tall person. Doors do not lock automatically, you have to do it yourself, after you get in the car. The dual air conditioning is a joke. It really works as one system with two vents. I had an older model, back in 1997, which was a much better car. Young people like the gadgets and the acceleration, but do not get fooled. Fuel consumption is 15 in the city, not 20 claimed by Nissan. Highway is 22. For the money, buy a Camry or a Chrysler 300M

Pros: Style, body lines,rounded front end, plenty of power, handle well.
Cons: To much torque steer on acceleration. excessive road noise from tires.

Love the style,body lines and the rounded front end. The room inside is very comfortable for four adult. I have driven my SE for 18000 mile and there seem to be an excessive amount of road noise from the tires. Otherwise no problem.
