The 3rd gen maxima is tops in the "reliability" category imo, but in the end, i just want have a better balanced car in the handling dept. I'm simple tired of fighting the fwd crutch these cars will always have.

I have been ready to move for some time now, i just needed a little "push" to get me to finally let it go.. (the little accident in my driveway)
Yeah I have an e36 and its the real sports car. The difference in handling is day and night, the Maxima handles like a big seesaw. But I think of the Maxima as being more like an ES300 or Legend, its big comfy old car that has a way of making you feel rich when you really aren't.

And btw the wife's GXE would be absolutely smashing with some window tint
