Young Working woman's view
The Maxima has an appealing look and ride that should suit those bored with the Camry, Accord look and wanting more power than the Mazda 6 offers. It has significant standard equipment with a six-speed manual transmission, power windows, power door locks, cruise control, aluminum alloy wheels, height-adjustable center console lid, dual-zone climate control, and an eight-speaker stereo. Of the options I would select the Bose audio system would HID headlights and a moonroof follow number one. The GPS system and backseat bucket seats don't hold my interest and I found the Skyview Roof difficult to justify. Basically, this is a sedan that can make you feel proud both by its appearance and performance, but you might want to check epinions to see what owners think about this model. I know the engine and transmission should hold help especially well, I would like to know how the interior does over a long period of time.

We highly recommend you drive the SE sedan with the automatic transmission. The manual requires more strength and is not easy to handle under full throttle. The other models from Nissan are also capable and should be sampled before a final decision is made.
