I finally bought my Maxima

I just replaced my '94 Altima with an '03 Maxima SE 6 sp w/ HLSD. I had a hard time deciding between the new Altima, the 5th gen Maxima, the G35 sedan, and the 6th gen Maxima. Those like me who owned the 1st gen Altima (which has the nicest velour I have ever seen/felt in any car) were especially let down by the new Altima's interior, even though it's still a really good car. The G35 sedan, while quite nice, is a bit pricey for me and stills lacks a manual trans. Waiting to decide what to buy until info came out on the 6th gen Maxima wasn't easy, but I did. I still don't know what to think about the new Maxima design. So anyway, in mid-January I searched inventory of midwest Nissan dealers on Nissandriven.com (now Nissanusa.com), and several days later bought my Majestic Blue, Frost leather int, SE 6 speed and couldn't be happier. Nearly over the break in period: 920 miles on it so far. I especially want to thank Kevin and all you Maxima.Org members for this awesome resource for Maxima fans.

Oh, one question, which is faster, the Altima or the Maxima?

Nice color. Thats the same combination I have. Put some clear corners on it and it will really bring out the paint.
