Opinions? Need help deciding...

Hey all, my bro is looking at buying a new car. Right now it's between a 2002 Subaru WRX and 2002 Maxima SE (he wants a manual). I have a few questions...

Is the Maxima changing for the 2003 model year? If so, what's changing? Is the navigation system pretty good? DVD or HD based? What aftermarket potential is there for the Max? Any common problems found with this generation of Maximas? That's all I can think of for now, thanks!

There are current threads about the WRX vs the Maxima if you do a search. Rumors have it that the 2003 Maxima will be RWD. I don't know what else they are adding. I am pretty sure the nav sys is HD based. There are aftermarket parts available for the Max right now, lots of suspension mods, intake, exhaust (ypipe, and catback) supercharger, and lots of other stuff. You can always to custom stuff though i.e. turbos. Check the stickies for TSBs. Hope that helps.

EDIT: I forgot that there are different body kits available too. Clear bumper lights too. Aftermarket clutches and the VB mod for the autos.
