Difference between 2004 -2006
I recently purchased a 2006 Maxima and have been having difficulty trying to figure out if some of the features are different. Can anyone tell me if there are any features that are different. When I see one if the street, I can never tell what year it is.

There were some very minor cosmetic changes to the exterior, but you'd probably never notice them. For instance, on the '04, the center part of the taillight assembly lit up as brake lights, whereas on the later models (not sure when this changed!) the TOP part of the tail light cluster is the brake light.
There have been a couple of new colors added, too, so you know if you see a Smoke, for instance, it's a 2006 or 2007 model.
Otherwise, it's pretty much impossible to tell what year model a 6th Gen Max is. And I think that's good.

I think however some of the bigger changes came in 2006. But IMO engine, performance , handling are identical between the three...
