2004 Max Stick or Auto?
I really love the new Max and want to get one soon. I live outside Chicago, and many people tell me that its a bad idea to get a stick in the city. A lot of the driving i do is in semi-suburban areas( a light here and there). Anyone know how many Maxs Nissan plans to sell with a manual trans? And anyone have any advice? How is the manual trans on the max?

Before I retired, I lived in suburban Chicago and commuted on the Illinois Toll Road every work day in a 5 speed manual Celica. There were a few rough back-ups on the Toll Road when I wished I had an Automatic. But most of the time I was happy to be driving a stick. For me it's a case of wanting as much control as possible -- which a stick gives you over an automatic. However, if you are not sold on getting a stick, I would recommend that you buy the 5-speed automatic on the SE.

The info I have does not specify that the limited slip is only available on or with the Preferred Package, so you can probably order it spearately. (Xenon lights are a part of the Preferred Package -- SE only -- but I have them on my SE Maxima without this package.) I also found that among dealer stock Maximas in Colorado, the only SEs with a sun roof also had leather seats (the Sensory Package). They seem to put these two together, so they probably put the limited slip with the Preferred Package.
