OK, you're in a 5th gen now after owning a 4th gen. What's your impression of the upgrade? Was it worth it? Do you miss your previous Maxima at all?

I like everything about my 2002 better then my 95

. My 95 was a nice car but my 02 is a great car. The only thing I miss is the better selection of aftermarket parts and being payment free.

What kind of performance options does the 2002 SE have? I noticed you listed KYB AGX's and H&R's... Were you able to sell your new suspension parts that you swapped out? I'd imagine they didn't have much mileage on 'em when you switched. Shame to just toss them out.

I'm keeping my stock supension so that I can put it back on when I sell the car someday
