Things you would have kept or taken off.

Last night I was driving and I said to myself, self you know what I miss, I miss the voice box from the 86 max in the car. It would tell you if gas was low, door was open. Just someting I wish or would have still liked on my car.

Please feel free what you would have lied or didn't want on your max. Make it max related.

NIssan should have kept the

Voltage gauge
Oil Pressure gauge
and adjustable shocks

These were all standard on 2nd Gen Maximas. My first car was a 85SE 5spd about 13 years ago, and I thought I was the #*&@!!!!

Or to take it a step further maybe Nissan shoud have kept the RWD from the 1st Gen, I think that was also an inline engine.

Keypad on the door. I had this on a Taurus and a friend of mine just bought a 3rd gen with this on it. Those are really handy.

reminds me of my dad's '83. man the adj. shocks they could do without...replacing them costs an arm a leg and a ********! the voice was so annoying..."fuel level low...blah, blah"

innovative, yet annoying!

Yeah I miss the RWD IRS of my 84.
And I could live without the automatic seatbelts on my 92.
and the dash mounted radio switches were cool.

I wish my 4th Gen had HUD, like the GP, Vette, or old 240's.

I definately do not miss my voice warning system. Was a blessing when I put a new stereo in.

Sucks when your trying to do work and the car says over and over again, key is in the ignition! :P I do miss the adjustable shock, but at over $2000 to replace, it's not worth it. Also the stock equalizer! Wish it would work with aftermarket decks! :P

Came in 1st (sedans anyway, wagons got a live axle rear suspension), 2nd, and 3rd. Kinda sucked Nissan went to the multilink setup, kinda hurt the newer gen's handling ability IMHO, though a full aftermarket suspension fixes that.

Yeah, I saw one the other day with what I now know is a keypad. Wondered what it was, thought one of the kids had been let loose with stickers, lol. Do they allow you to enter a code and the car would unlock?

I miss that one inch square LED dash display on my old ’81 280ZX that sequenced through various conditions every time you started up, like seat belts, washer fluid, coolant level, etc. It was high tech for its time and interesting to watch.
