Thinking of a 2011 SV

I've been looking at 2011 SV leftovers and have found a few that will work. This will replace the 2007 Maxima which is the commuter car for my GF.
I like the sport package but prefer to not buy the NAV package.

I was wondering if anybody knows whether they have shortened the turning radius between 2007 and 2011. The 2007 takes a lot of area to make the complete turn.

Any helpful comments will be appreciated.

Joel

Yes. I agree. I use to own a 6th gen and it's better.

I replaced my 08 with a 2011 SV Sport and it is way smaller turning radius. Parking the 08 was a real chore in tight parking lots.

7th Gen is really an awesome car, many improvements over the 6th Gen and while it feels like an improved 6th Gen it also feels like an entirely different car

Turning radius was reduced by four feet between the 6th gen and the 7th gen. That may not sound like a lot, but it has made a huge difference for me. Turning my 6th gen was a little like turning the Queen Mary. Turning my 7th gen is a little like turning a go-kart.

How come? Oh why am I asking that?!?! I have the monitor package and it makes navigating my songs on my iPod easier and having a back-up camera adds the benefit.

I really like the sports package and the 19 inch wheels and as everyone mentions, the ride is stiff.
