so guys i love my maxima but it is time i move on to newer and nicer. i have two candidates . . .

1- 05 Nissan Altima 3.5 SE - auto but still nice plus it's a 5 spd with tip - black on black leather - wants $15,900 but it has 61k miles. not worried about the high miles except for resale cuz my max is pushin 120k. but i just love Nissans - want to keep it in the family and have loved this car since it first came out

2 - 05 Mazda 6s - V6 black on black leather - this car is sweet. it's an auto as well but i believe a 6 spd and i don't think it comes with tip. wants $15,995 and only has 27k

both very comparable and i'm not sacrificing any features for the new car in either case. both are an upgrade in power but the altima is definitely a bigger one. this would be a no brainer if the alty had less miles but i just don't know if it's worth it. hopefully going to test drive both tomorrow. so it comes down to what feels best, but i'm leanin towards the alty still . . .

i need your opinions guys . . . . here's the links

MAZDA 6

ALTIMA

 

Ok so, why not a 2002-2003 Maxima? ?

 

^^ i know right, but.. nissan imo are more reliable than a mazda 6 (waiting to get flamed lol :P )

 

i'm not crazy about the newer maxes. they look great but i just love the alti and my buddy already has an 02 so i want to change it up. excited about a new car, but kinda sad to think about gettin rid of the max

 

i actually was deciding between 06 mazda6 and 06 maxima... after test driving them both, i went ahead with maxima... felt more powerful, roomy, and less road noise

 

maxima vs. mazda is no question hands down maxima owns . . . . but altima is more on the same level as the 6. good luck with the new purchase and get some pics up so we can see . . . . i'm workin on that too - just waitin for the weather to clear up so i can wash it

 

Altima looks nicer.
