OKay.. So I've been a part of this forum for a good 4-5 years.. through ups and downs (transmission replacement), but now its time to say good bye. Between the mounting repair/maintenance costs (163k miles) and 20 mpg, I had to let her go. Thanks to our great leader (sarcasm), gas prices have killed me and my budget with my work commute so had to go eco friendly and picked up a gorgeous Hyundai Sonata Hybrid. Power isn't like the 04 maxima but it definitely rides smoother I think (partially because its heavier with all the batteries I think). Can't complain about the around the city driving already getting 32mpg! Also has heated front and rear leather seats, dual climate and the awesome iphone app to control my car Plus my 10yr/100k mile warranty and unlimited battery warranty.

So its been nice.. had 3 maxima's and maybe sometime in the future I'll be back for another one when there is a fuel efficient one with power still ... Lots of great memories in Maxi....
