I would definately take the new GS or even the old GS430 any day..................But I'd still keep my maxima.....!!!!!!!!!!

 

i had always felt that the 96 had an overly large steering wheel, but i thought that was just 4th gens in general. is there anything that can be switched out in more or less just a bolt on for something better? something other than a momo or anything?

 

lest thine sig misleads me, you've got a 97+ front end, so of course youre gonna like the way it looks. 97+ looks so much better in my opinion.

 

All 4th gen's are ugly. 5th gen's are the hottness.

 

then go to the 5th gen forum.

 

The 4th gen looks pretty dated today and 95/96 look especially bad when stock. To me, the rear end looks plain boxy on the 4th gen on all years. Styling was never the maxima's forte though imo..

 

I knew I shoulda bought a 97 In 95 when I bought mine... dang!

 

95/96 look better that the 97/99 with the Stillen kit, particularly the front lip.

 

Hahaha okay

 

Oh thank goodness I'm not the only 4th genner that feels this way

 

what annoys me is that you typed you're whole opening post in centered format, and i have to agree a 4th g is a 4th g is a 4th g, if you like one, why not like them all?

I'd have to say there is nothing sexier than a 95-96 with David L's and a drop, + stillen kit. It's beyond sexy. There's always options when it comes to grills too, i actually like the look of no emblem on the grill that the 95-96's sometimes run with

 

 

At first i didn't like the 1995 grill as much as the 1997. But now i think i prefer it. Just a change in heart i guess. Just like girls.

 

This thread is really pointless. There are 10's of thousands of people on this board. Surely you can't be that much of an idiot to ask if you're the only one that hates 95/6's. This is just a reason to get flamed, we all have our differences, but when comparing a car with such little differences it is just plain pointless.

 

are there side by side shots avail ... io hate to admit but i nevr noticed the diff... but then i used to hate the design of the 4th gen and now i own one haha

 

I went to a Nissan dealership for a preview of the new 2000 Maxima in May 1999 and was disappointed when I saw how fugly they were. I am still of this opinion. Don't go flaming the 4th Gens when you're driving a 2000 Max.

I like the 2002 and 2003 Maximas, however.

Wow, I 180^ disagree with you. I was going to do a conversion on my '96 just for the Stillen lip alone (both the '97 bumper and '97 lip are sitting in my rafters). It is priceless how the '97 Stillen lip goes up and over the inside ledge for a no-seem look (I have never seen a '95/'96 Stillen lip without an air gap - I know I could never get rid of mine). And those two little air inlets on the '97 Stillen lip are just oh so sexy...

 

OK, had I had a choice I would have liked to have a 99 but I got a 95. I would have liked an SE but I got a GXE. I would have liked either a white, black or silver exterior but I got gold. I would have liked a black interior but I got beige. I would have liked a 5 spd manual but I got the automatic.

But I didn't have a choice and since I got the car for free from my brother-in-law and it's the nicest car I've ever owned, I can't complain.

 

Free is always good! Consider yourself lucky.

 

Oh I do!

Very lucky considering how nice of a car it is.

 

A free Max is always the best gift....and man's best friend (especailly in the Quarter mile!)

 

A free Max is man's best friend in the quarter mile????

 

A gift that keeps on giving....get it?

 

Uh...no. What does a gift that keeps on giving have to do with a man's best friend and the quarter mile???

 

Hello?!!! A Max is a man's best friend in the quarter mile! I'm talking about a DRAG RACE! Geez, seems no one has a sense of humor anymore!!!

Props to getting your car for free BTW.

 

Sorry but it wasn't funny ... and I still don't get it.
