Can Maxima be fun again
all .org members,
Recently I've been overwhlemed with many of the problems most of you have had with your 5th gen Maxima.
I have a 2000 GLE - completely stock. I do not drive it real hard and I just recently starting putting a lot of miles on it. 1st year i only drove like 6K, but this year I put on 18K.
I'm really down on the car right now, but I'm hoping after some of these TSBs get fixed it will be mostly reliable.
However, right now I just don't like driving it because when I get in it I just keep listening for more problems.
Any suggestions on how to make my Maxima fun to drive again?
I've been thinking about some mods - also I think I'm going to have my car professionally detailed to give it that new car feel again.
Looking for ideas

yeah, you need some mods. 
Get an intake, y-pipe, UDP, and maybe some lighter wheels also if budget permits, and then go stomp on some Honda's and you'll feel much better

I drove my sisters Jetta for a week and I totally fell in love with my car all over again!
I agree with the other answers about driving a different car for a while. I rented a Buick when I was in LA for a week. Also, a Malibu while my front bumper was getting fixed. What a pleasure to get back in my Max! Mods help the fun quotient. Then every once in a while, I just gotta stand on the accelerator. That makes it fun again. Just my opinion. BTW, my car is pretty trouble free so far and I have a good service dept.
