what class is it in and what cars are in that class

 

Pinto, Yugo, Elantra, old Fiat's, etc.

 

Mid-sized/entry level luxury sedan - compare Maximas to Toyoya Avalon and Honda Accord (certain models).

 

Studebaker, any AMC, Fiesta's, 64 dodge darts

 

I know u didnt just knock the dart man, that slant 6 lasted forever and then some

 

I take it back.....A True beauty, 101 Horsepower inline 6. What a car!

mabye under powered, mabye not a real looker(but beauty is in the eyes of the beholder) but those engines were truely the most reliable 6cylinders ever made, they made the VQ's look like an A4's 1.8T

 

wow, can't believe you guys are talking about slant 6's. My first car had a slant 6 in it, 1978 Dodge Aspen SE. Man that thing was slow, sloppy and kind of ugly, but the price was right when i was 16 years old.

Anyway....don't want to get too off topic....like we haven't aleady.

 

for 4th gens: toyota camry

 

hey hey hey hey, i used to have a b5 passat 1.8t....it may have had a few electrical problems but the motor itself was good!!!

 

Honda Accord . . .

But really it's in a class by itself.....the 4DSC class .. . .

 

Not good, GREAT, that is if you love sludge galore, and broken timing belts

 

its mean version of a camry, but no where near as reliable

 

m5 class


i wish lol

 

the camry isn't in the same class at the maxima. Its more of a camry/altima and maxima/avalon.

 

Damn, just read my first post on this topic - that's all you need to know.

 

If the Maxima is in the same class as the Avalon, then why is Nissan making the Teana to battle the Avalon in its class? I think the Maxima is in the same class as the Camry.

 

Interesting...Teana:

 

maxima is very similar to the camry throught the 4th gen years...deffinately a mid-sized sedan...entry level luxury car...

 

My dear departed grandmother had a 1961 Valiant with the slant 6. IIRC, you changed gears by pushing buttons on the dashboard, lol!

Seriously, the correct response is the 4th Generation Maxima is in a class of its own!

 

+1...the "betterthananyothercaroutthere" class
