I am new to this forum and am a lurker unless I have something crazy going on. I find the information here very helpful and end up saving $$$.

I understand that most of you are "enthusiasts" and modify your Maxs with every available aftermarket option to your tastes. Most of the mods are not pratical for me. For example, most of the tires that you guys (and gals) have would last me about 3 months.

I have a 2K GLE that I mostly drive for business. 120K miles. Grey Lustre, Grey Leather, Wood Grain, 28% tint.

Just curious....

Does anyone here drive their Max for nice looking, comfortable, fun to drive transportation?

 

My Max is completely stock. I resisted modding anything on it because I don't plan on having the car forever so I didn't want any hassle when trading or selling the car. But I did buy the car for its looks and overall performance. It is relatively comfortable to drive, especially long distance highway cruising. I wouldn't exactly say the car is "fun to drive" in a sports car kind of sense, but the acceleration of the 3.5 VQ is amazingly fun sometimes.

 

ummm not really, i bought my max but i love being able to change things as how i see fit

 

I'm stock all the way; never been too mechanically inclined when it comes to autos. Just liked the looks and performance. The acceleration is really nice when needed or wanted.

 

there are plenty of people who do minimal mods, or none at all.

My opinion: If you can't enjoy the car in stock form, then you don't want to buy it and mod it in hopes you will like it.

 

Mine's a daily driver. I had wanted a Max for many years and finally got one. Going in, I was not aware of the org, or what could be done with the car. The mods I've done enhance the stock form. About a 50/50 split between performance and cosmetic.

 

I'm pretty sure that's what everyone here does. Most make comfortable take a back seat to the other two (but at least we have a backseat ), but none-the-less I think the 4dsc montra is pretty much the idea behind owning these cars...a fun good looking (though many might disagree) car that is still practical.

 

when i bought my first max - i enjoyed the living crap out of it stock, i just love max's.... i promised i would never mod my car...got my next max same thing...then i found the org like two years ago...then for some strange reason - that's out in the toilet now.... if mod's are available.... i am all for it. - but i did enjoy it stock at first..... so hey i guess it's up to the individual....

 

Daily driver..stock until modding bug bit me. Now im starting to de-mod =o(

 

I have kept my car in close to stock form. Every mod I've done can be easily changed back to stock.

CAI
chrome muffler
chrome pedals
FSTB
Rims/tires (coming soon)

I like it mostly for it's stylish appearance and fun-to-drive attitude.

 

only reason shes in my possesion !

 

All my mods are on the inside. I drive the car so that it serves a purpose.. when i have a garage and $$ i'll get a sunday driver to break..
