Has anyone read the 12 sedan comparison in the lastest Automobile Magazine? The 2004 maxima finished 12th out of 12 cars in their subjective ratings at the end of the article!!!!. From what I could tell from the article,, they loved the engine but didn't seem overly fond of the handling, which are pretty much the usual complaints. The new Pontiac Grand Prix, which is similar in performance to the Max, finished near the bottom as well. This makes me wonder how much importance this magazine gives to engines with decent torque and superior straight line performance As the owner of a 2003 SE 6 speed I'm not sure whether this validates my purchase of the 2003 over the 2004 or just makes me wonder if the guys at Automobile were smoking crack or something. Can some of the 6th gen owners weigh in on this?

 

A magazine editor is like an a$$hole, everybody has one just like an opinion
