Anyone Considered??

Well I just drove the 2005 Altima SE-R 6MT, dealer had also upgraded the car I drove with a NISMO CAI and I have to say I was extremely pleased, so much that I'm considering trading in my 2000 Max for it. Has anyone else test driven it yet? Whats your opinion?

its nice if want a FWD car and you don't want the TL or Max. I would take a TL over that tho.
a tl 6sp is only $2k more
ALT VS TL

Oh yeah I forgot about the 30k sticker price. I haven't checked out the TL yet, I just like that fact that you still have numerous customizing options witht the Altima.

Thats it though, the best part I loved about my max was changing things on it, like the taillight and HID upgrade, Stereo etc, there goes all the fun with the TL.

i would rather buy the TL with the HID and quality projectors from the start... not to mention they are smaller and damn quick!

i think once some performance products come out for the TL, Maximas are in for some trouble... i would not think it would be all to difficult to get that car to 290-300hp...
