If you ever get tired of, or fed up with your Max...
go get a rental car!!!
Trust me, took my Max into the shop for some minor bodywork over the next couple of days. Got an Accord LX (not the brand new one). Talk about plasticy and I thought the road noise in the Max was high!! Fortunately it sounded like a bearing was going on it so I swapped it out for a Grand Prix. Another reason to appreciate your Max!! God I hate those buttons/controls GM puts in cars. Looks like ***** off some Playschool toy. And it just feels cramped inside.
Short end of the story...if the Max just doesn't seem to be what you are happy with...get a rental for a couple days. You will look at your car in a whole different way!

I had my max in for warranty work when my windshield cracked, and they gave me a rental mid ninties SATURN!
Yeah, what a friggin pile of junk. 4 cylinders sohc, 3 speed auto tranny of DOOM. I think it had all of 115 hp. Plastic body panels, key wouldn't turn in ignition without pumping the brake and turning wheel. MANUAL windows and door locks. (They still make those?)
Smelly cloth interior. BOY was I glad to get back in my max.
I asked for a manual, but they didn't have any... poo.

Not even a rental car..a few weeks ago a
friend took me to lunch in her brand new stick-shift 325i and it sucked big time....I was very, VERY unimpressed. Very harsh ride, noisy, cramped, very low gearing -1st gear almost felt like a truck gear- and s-l-o-w compared to even my 3-liter Max.
I drove home that evening with an ear-to-ear grin....
