nice choice OP...sorry about your max....gud luck wit da new ride

that's gotta suck[for you and the deer]....but atleast you got the money for it

 

They were scared about the dash lights (abs, traction control, ect) being lit, but they only went on because the relay box got crushed. I am rebuilding it and will have about $1k (plus labor) into it in new parts/paint when complete.
At least I have the (heated) space to work on it and someone who wants to buy it when done.

 

Glad yu are ok! I love this car too!

 

id love an incident like this

prior to all the work im about to do to it of course

 

OP, congrats on the 3.5 Altima Coupe. That's a relatively unique ride, and I'm sure it's lots of fun to drive.

 

Nice ride OP!

Reviews so far? How does it compare to the max (power, handling, etc?)

 

I love it!

Obviously, it's slightly smaller then the Max. It does has 3 seats in the back, a tight fit with carseats.

It is very quick, specially compared to my old 3.0 Max.. Handling seems very responsive and tight. I believe it comes with a sport tuned suspension from the factory.

I'm still getting used to the CVT. I keep waiting for the "shift" feeling when pulling away, but everything is very smooth nonetheless.

Only thing that has irritated me a little is the moonroof. I'm going to have to get a deflector because the in cabin noise is ridiculous at any decent speed and creates almost like a thumping bass sound at highway speed.

I plan on making zero mods to it at this time suspension wise, but will be looking into exhaust and intake.

The back up camera comes in handy to ensure you actually parking in a parking space and not over the line, like I tend to do.

 

crumple zones FTW!

Glad your ok, and in a new ride.
