i am almost certainly going to trade in my max for a new 05 model nissan...my max has been good to me but there are quite a few quirks being that it was used and all...i dont know whether to get the 05 xterra se...or the 05 altima 3.5sl...what do you guys think? does nebody know where i can find some acceleration numbers for the altima as well? thanks

yeah but the acura tl is priced higher than what hes going for. in that price range id say the new altime SE-R

The Altima SE-R is basically the same price as a TL. I'd suggest the TL over any Nissan FWD sedan too...

Ditto, do the TL. I almost did the TL. Timing was just a bit off so I went for a used Max.

oh ok, i didnt know that the Altima was around the same price, in that case i would definitely go for the TL.

ALtima SE-R is an awsome car. I personaly like the GS400, and the BMW 3 series which u can get for like 34K out the door.

Like most have said, if possible, the TL is a great choice.

SE-R in my opinion is just an overpriced Altima with a extra gear.

5spd Altima 3.5L was 5.9 to 60 per Motor Trend. Skip the TL, get yourself a G35 6spd sedan. Or find a left over 04 M45, dealer around my house is calln me all the time with one for 34K bux plus tax- with navi brand new. 4.5L V8, RWD, more comfort than anything in Acuras line up.

well...i almost wound up with an excellent deal on a dealer demo 05 maxima sl loaded with literally every option, even the unnecessary (for me, at least) navi system...but for a little less money i went with the Murano because i have a house upstate. although i know this is nothing like my pathfinder for offroad/snow conditions, in light/moderate snow i shouldnt have much of a problem. i got stuck with my maxima 2 times in the snow already, which might have also been because of the kinda crappy michelin energy plus mxv4 things i had on there. either way, i am very happy with the murano so far; the handling is fantastic for any truck or car for that matter, the engine is smooth, quiet, and very powerful. i still cant help missin my maxima just a lil...lol
