Hey guys. I can't escape seeing or reading about the new TL. I have a 2000 Max and my Max is the TIHS. I recently test drove an 04 TL. I thought it was nice but I didn't see any real advantage over my Mighty Max other than the obvious HP difference. Mind you I have modded my car with the Progress anti sway bar and the FSTB for suspension, and I'm rolling on 18" ADR chrome Stearlings with Yokohoma ES100s and when I tell you my Max rides nice that TIHS rides nice. The engine remains stock. I felt that the Max had somewhat of an advantage over the TL for me. That advantage was the room that I have in my Max compared to the 04 TL. My Max is like a cavern whereas the TL felt somewhat closed in. There is more room from my head to the roof in my Max than in the TL. I was just wondering what yous guys thought about the 04 TL and the MIGHTY MAX 00-03.
Holla back bredrins.
P.S. Yo one quick word of advise. Use Lucas oil products man. Nothing beats it. I put in my Max and yo when I tell you My Max rides NICE my Max rides NICE. I used the Tranny joint and the Engine stabalizer. Best additive you can use IMO.
Anyway Peace out and hit me with your thoughts

 

Since you ask why..

1. Qualtiy

2. Resale

3. Service

4. Yes it is faster.

5. No your maxima is not larger inside..not even close. 04 Max would be close.

6. 0-60 5.7.........1/4 mile 14.4 at 99mph.

7. DVD and Bluetooth capability

 

another one of these .....?..

 

i dont think it does 5.7 0-60, its too fast for a heavy torqueless car like that.

Don't believe me..get the mag. We all know how most of their times are usually on the high side too...Look at their max times

 

Ugh, everyone who has a Maxima will probably stay with a Maxima (unless it's a 6th gen, then ), however they will keep giving their random thoughts on the TL no matter what.

 

I have a 5th gen, and Im getting one in a few months..... after all the build issues get fixed.. IMO, that car is the shiat!
