well after selling my truck ive decided to get an 02 GLE in gunmetal gray (or whatever the technical name is) i just read the guy with the EVO's post and it didnt change my mind a bit on getting one. my dad has an 03 GLE, and my mom has an I35. niether have has any problems to date, over the fuew associated problems that plague the maxima i dont think they are significant.
wind nioise= turn radio up! (try driving a truck with swampers, who cares about noise)
radio skip= excuse to upgrade to DVD/CD player
tires=umm who ever likes stock tires on any vechicle!?!?
handling= going from driving a 4x4 the maxima handles like a sports car.
paint chips= many many coats of wax!?!
but only other cars that are in the field or above are the acura TL (TERIBLE tranny's) toyota camary (nice car but BORING and underpowered) and Honda accord(id be the 1000000 person to have one) sorry about the long post, one ore thing can you get a maxima certified used? [FONT=Arial]

 

You have chosen wisely. Enjoy the Max. A post pics of DVD once you install

 

oh I will.. i cant wait to get it. DVD is down the road but deffinitly will be in there sooner or later

 

Good choice, i can see your a nissan person from birth (your dad with the 03 gle, and your mom with the i35). They do have certified used.

 

Trust me, you will love her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My only recommendation would be to get an SE, because it's painful to me personally knowing that you'll be getting an auto tranny, but otherwise enjoy it The EVO and max are really in totally different classes. One is fast as heck, and the other is merely fast. One looks like you drive a low-end car with mods thrown in to it, and the other looks classy

 

Good choice. You'll love the Max - I havent had any problems so far cept occasional Bose player doesnt like my burned CD's. Happy modding

 

its my dads 2nd max, and my mom usto have an I30. i dirve a tacoma now but it'll be sold soon enough

 

Im sure i will

 

im looking forward to it. good to hear you havent had any problems. im not going to do to mandy mods as far as performance, im pretty happy with how they are stock. ill sprobally throw an exhaust, but other than that i just want some rims/tires and a dvd down the road

 

Nice choice, i have the same car - im going with the cd/dvd change over option too - you may want to check on an extended warrenty, there not to expensive. enjoy

 

Yup... I got one for 70,000mi bumper-bumper, ZERO deductible.

gle powa!

make sure you get black leather, don't settle for anything else

 

Sheer Silver w/ Black leather here. I actually like the GLE wheels better

 

Good choice, you will absolutely love the car. The gripes that guy had are not all common problems. It's not like every max is plauged with those problems. Knock on wood, but after one year, I am trouble free. I had the lack of power for autos TSB done, and that's about it.

 

IMO - Go for an RSB (and consider an FSTB at the same time) before you start moddin' the exhaust. Congrats on your decision.

 

beautiful max

by the way which springs do u have on there i like that drop??
