My 03 SE Maxima

I went TO Winston NC yesterday and bought my new Maxima. I had a absolute blast driving it back the 2.5 hours back just loving all of the power...I was getting 30 mpg all the way. I can't believe that I waited this long to get one. I would recomend this thang to anyone. I was stuck deciding on the WRX or the maxima but for size issues got the max.
On another note, me and my friend were driving around in his rex just playing around on some curvy roads and saw a REAL 65 cobra, blue with a white stripe, good grief, we hit a straight away and it was like we were going in reverse....what a tight car!! I wish I had the cash to get one of those.

Hey, this is the friend with the Rex, Rob is eating pizza right now. He said it's "Sterling Mist" color. Very pretty too, torque is fun too. Oh, 6 speed is right nice too. I'm jealous of the 30 mpg, I get about 20 in the WRX. Ah well, too radically differenct cars, like em both alot.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but your max is most likely getting around 25-26mpg.....the computer is off 4-5mpg unfortunately..

sorry to burst your bubble, but I regularly get 30+ MPG in my 2k2 6-speed... and I'm calculating, not relying on the dash computer.

Tarpoon, where are you from? Ride looks nice BTW. Every once in a while the Southeast Maxima's get together. We need to add you to the list. Ali (PIONEER) and myself are from Raleigh. There are a few guys with 4th gens that go to NCSU as well.

Glad you like your car but that 30 MPG is Bull, Don't believe that MPG gage on your tach, cause it's way off. do the math the old fashion way next time you go to the pump and you'll see what I mean. Congrats on your new Max!
