My last 2 cars were maximas, I really love the cars, I had a 96 and a 02. Still think about the 02, good power, nice lines. I personally like the new one too, it has a nice interior as well.

I had an 05 Max before getting my e60. I love that car except that it was front wheel drive. Had very bad torque steer. This new one is just plain ugly. my neighbor bought one and it is worse in person than in the pic. the front looks like a truck. does not handle worth a darn. The only + is the size of it great space. Plus I hate cvt.

YEA THAT cvt crap is bad.. but its alot better then it was... and yes the handeling is like driving a boat..... very loose in the front end.... and im pretty sure your struts went like crazy it that year the torque steer was real bad.. to much power to the front end....

I love the new maxima. Some mods would make it look crazy.

Thats what really disapointed me as well is the lack of rwd in the maximas. I need to go test drive the new one.

That front is hideous for sure. U-G-L-Y

I would say it's more like F-U-G_L-Y. It's a shame. Nissan used to put out some decent looking cars, but in the last decade or so, they've all been unattractive, including the trucks.
