powerful and classy

I just picked up my 04 MAX SE. Traded my 01 Mustang GT for it. I thought i would miss the power my GT but I was wrong. The VQ engine is hot.
I parked my silver max next to my buddy's 03 lex GS300 and in my opinion it blows the lex away.

Only have to complaints. The back glass is a little small and yes under full acceleration in the wet i did feel a little torque steer.

A little torque steer?

I noticed more than a little torque steer in my new 2004 SE, especially when I really get on it towards WOT. But, until Nissan decides to reinvigorate the Maxima with AWD or RWD, we are probably stuck with it. I wouldn't trade the 265 hp for anything. Congrats on your new purchase.

I agree, i am two weeks into my 04 SE elite and I love it. The power and acceleration are incredible.

Do you have a 6-Speed or auto. If 6-Speed do you have HLSD... or auto w/ VDC?

IT IS ALMOST AS FAST IF NOT EQUAL IN ACCELERATION. MY MUSTANG WAS AN AUTO JUST LIKE MY MAX. THE MAX ENGINE LOVES TO REV, AND WHEN IT REVS IT IS FAST. IF NISSAN COULD ADD THE AWD FROM THE MURANO THIS CAR WOULD BE UNBEATABLE.
