A Maxima is a Maxima
When I originally got this car it was simply because it was my ideal car. (Big yet strong) Lately I've been wanting to sell this 6 speed for something like a camry. (easy to maintain) I need to replace my tires ($600 at least) and o2 sensors etc.
I guess I would rather an easy to maintain (plus a warranty) camry with nice leather.....plus I just F'ed up my front bumper with a bunch of scrathes.
I would like good gas mileage back and to be able to take long trips while going easy on the wallet.....I am currently debating if I should keep it and put the $1100 plus (thats a lot for me!!!) into the car or if I should sell it and go with a camry....
To the OP, I got this car for what it is and not because of my wallet. I LOVE her for the perfect combo of speed/torque/size
EDIT: Also, without the 6 speed maybe I won't get so many tickets and cops following me around every town I go to...

Your right with the snow part but it would still be cooler if it was rwd on that fantastic vq engine

Winter driving with RWD does require better development of certain skills by the driver (and likely more patience than many/most young people seem to have any more). Not that those are bad things to acquire, though . . .

I drive my Maxima because:
I ventured far and wide and came to the conclusion that I simply could not find a four-door sedan as
- Reliable
- Powerful
- Luxurious
- Stylish
- Reputable
- Able in the upgrade department
- Able in the getting the response "did that really just pass me?"
...for the money, there was NOTHING in its category as suitable for me. Haven't looked back since.
I needed a 6spd, 4dr sedan with at least 250 to the crank that would last me through school and have the potential to keep with my friends modified 300zx's. Low and behold, I am happy

it is somewhat all i can afford... but im happy with it... even though im burning oil badly... i was going for a lexus GS but it would just leave my pockets and bank account on negatives lol... i'm 22 and this 02 is my 4th maxima, no complains here
Just as a counterpoint, there's nothing about RWD that makes it inherently unsuitable for winter use. For some of us, FWD wasn't even an available choice, and we seem to have come through it OK.
Winter driving with RWD does require better development of certain skills by the driver (and likely more patience than many/most young people seem to have any more). Not that those are bad things to acquire, though . . .

RWD in winter is better IMO. I have had a few cars and even wrecked a FWD in the winter. My mustang was an awesome winter winter car. I like RWD because it is more predictable. It just takes some practice to get used to it.
