Traction Control System - works at 75mph!...

Haha when it's raining & there's plenty of water on a clear highway... you can also test this the way I did...

So at 75mph in 3rd gear (auto) my 2k2 TCS "slip" light was blinking & I felt the car hydroplaning... I was listening to the sweet sound of the intake & revving above 4k rpm. I really can't tell if the TCS was fast enough to "correct" the slippage, but at least it was able to detect it! Other cars (gti comes to mind) only have their TCS working to around 40mph.

Pretty nice! Kinda justifies the $500+++ monthly payment...

I'm the same way, I only like the loaded maxima's so i got my 95 (paid off) in GLE, then the 2000 is an SE with all options (except wood trim). I, however, always buy my maximas two years old for 14K. No sense in buying one off the lot I say.
