Whenever i saw a maxima on the road, they always drive so fast. No matter local or highway, they drive their maximas like a race car. I guess everyone loves the performance of the maxima, cuz its sound, power, and the feel is so tight whenever u drive it on the road. It made u want to hit it. The engine is running so smooth whenever you step on the gas. the commecial is always right, maxima is really a 4 door body, 2 door soul car. Cars like it=0 I just want to say, i love my maxima and i will never regret with my choice

 

Maybe your driving too slow

 

well said

 

In CT all maximas drivers are slow like crazy and most drivers are old people...

 

yeah maybe...cuz too many speeding tickets

 

whenever im on 95 people always try to pick race's with me

 

maybe... i drive fast!! who knows...

 

I used to drive through CT for work and the cops are BAD*SS about giving tickets... they use confiscated vehicles as undercover highway cars so you NEVER know what kind of car is going to pull you over. Also, the "no radar detectors" law doesn't help either.

People don't speed on the highways in CT because people get caught!

edit: "no radar law" was repealed in 1998 - woo-hoo!

 

no radar law? haha oops, i've been using my radar all the time when im in CT

 

i never drive fast here in CT. the highway cops have got their thing down to an art. its pretty impressive actually. i find that its always the BMW, Benz, and, more than any other, Audi people that drive excessivly fast, regardless of their age. Of course then there are the morons at UConn who think their Ford Tempo from 1928 is the ultimate street racer (thats a quote from some girl I know actually....) Max people that I've seen tend to drive fairly normally.

 

my bad... that law was repealed in 1998!

keep up the good work!

 

We are fast...I can run a 4.5 in the 40yd dash...

Can't say the same for ALL Maxima drivers, but the MILF on the onramp this morning ripped past me and the cars ahead like a bat out of hell in her 5th gen SE as soon as we merged. A white 4th gen GLE was close in pursuit...older lady (i.e. not a MILF).

 

MMMmmmmm, MILF.

 

Even though VA and DC still have that law, I always thought it was against Federal Law to ban radar detectors.

Anyways, my average hwy speed is about 75-80mph normally but, I don't consider that to be fast. To the contrary, most speed limits are not adapted to today's highways nor today's cars.

IMO, speed limits should be somewhat flexible with traffic and/or road conditions, with a maximum speed of 85mph on major highways during ideal conditions.

Peace.

 

Maxima drivers around here are mostly older people, never about speeding or pushing the VQ ...me on the other hand take advantage of it I LOVE MY MAX

 

wait a few more months and we'll see if you think of your maxima the same way....those paint chips.. lagging ... hesitation and speciallly your maf

 

whatever, you're just jealous you don't have a 3.5!

 

uhhh..have my Max for 7 months now, no paint chips..umm no MAF issues w/ JWT..I feel the hesitation, but not a big deal, easy fix just got to find the dealer to honor the TSB..any regrets not at all

 

I can vouche for scopium; with the exception of paint chips, I do experience the hesitation and my MAF sensor went bad already.

 

I use my radar in CT without problems... this year is not soo bad like last year on the highways!! Not too many undercovers on the highway... just
some in the cities!! we have too many undercovers at the pike only... you know people with nice cars hang outs and blah blah... my average speed is 80-90!!

 

Yeah CT sucks, especially when you heading back to boston from Foxwoods, its like the cops know when you are speeding.

boston has some fast maxima drivers. dunno if they want to get a ticekt or just because we love that power in a "FAMILY CAR"

 

Same Here!!!

 

Most of them around here are younger(Dallas area) and drive them fast and even the older drivers do as well.

 

I don't know about anyone else but I always drive my Max fast here in the Carolinas but I'm not always racing nor looking to race but somehow some ricer is always trying to pick a drag.

I enjoy going faster than the normal speed limit because it seems 55 & 65 are just too slow and not moving at all in a car as smooth as the Max.

 

When I had the 4th gen my average highway speed was 80. With the 5th it's more like 90. Just can't help it. 3.5 Rulz!

 

Don't underestimate Chicago Maxima owners. Even with IL State Troopers in Z28s and Mustangs with dual firing radar (some with Lidar), Cook County Sherrifs with Stalkers, and Chicago Police with Lidar, most of us are ripping between 75-90 easily.

In the case of IL, Radar Detectors are illegal in commercial vehicles only.
