may not always own a maxima but definitely wont forget this car.

 

when it comes down to owning a maxima, if i got rich then yea i would always own a maxima, sh*t id modify my 4th gen to be RWD and buy another and make it AWD, i might even put an 13" lift on one with some massive tires on it give a new meaning to "wheel gap", but otherwise no.

As much as i do like the maxima, there are other cars that can do the maximas job better, not the same way the max does it but certainly better. and then there are just other cars out there that are just better. for as much money as i can spend on a brand new max, i would rather go buy a used M35x or G35x. The limitations of FWD is what really kills it for the maxima.

The better question to ask here is will u always own a Nissan. my answer to that would probably be yes, not exactly Nissan, but Infiniti has stepped up their game and for the amount of money u are paying compared to its competitors, u are getting a pretty damn good deal. the Ms and the FXs do it for me

 

Owned an '89 SE and use my '95 SE as a daily driver with 210K miles on it. My wife has an Infiniti QX4, mom has a '98 SE and an '03 350Z Touring. It seems like we'll always be a Nissan family, but I am passing my Maxima down to my niece in college for an M45 Sport.

nope.. love my 6spd 5.5gen to death. but i always end up moving on to greater things. it will be a while though thats for sure. my next vehicle will most likely be a g35 coupe. i wish i could get an m45 but i just cant seem to break away from standard tranny... its just too hard.

 

yea, i own 98 max w/ 260k miles. i just like cars that's reliable. i really do not know about other gens, but definitely 4th gen i will have.

 

I still own my 4th gen and actually i still drive it, its not even my DD. I still love my maxima and yes it is still modded.

 

I love my nissan but i don't think i will keep it forever... i don't think a nissan will be my next car either. Once i Started having problems with my 4th gen its like everything else in the world is going wrong as well. so no i don't think i will stick with nissan!

 

she has some rust; but nothing 700$ wont fix.

SO DAMN SEXY though.
Ive only had my maxi for almost 2 months and im already in love.

Ill put my Maxima on criogenix(or something)

BOIIYEE


[quote=VTMaxima;6542478]I have too much money in my maxima I would never feel right to sell her. I just plan on spending more money on her. quote]


like with my GF... only she spends a lot of $$ on me.

 

i love my car. within a few years im gonna have a SC VQ35 4th gen. I will probably stop modding it at 350-400 WHP with a sexy paint job and lip kit.

I have other cars that I want to mod after this one, my next car will be either RWD or AWD...but I honestly doubt I will ever sell or de-mod the max. It will always be my first car and Ive put way too much time and money into it to sell it. I will still have the max even when stations stop selling gas

 

Hell yeah.. This is my 2nd Max and loving it. I can't imagine myself driving a different car.

 

Here's my little story, I used to hate driving untill I got my Maxima and again like when I was 17 I absoultly love driving and this car is the reason. I fell in love with Nissan they make a great automobile you can't beat the reliability and power of the VQ. So my fiance's car just crapped out on her (dodge) so we searched for any Nissan for her we started at the dealer and she couldn't get aproved so we looked on and finaly found this real nice 05 Altima which I really liked. She couldn't get aproved but I liked this car so much that I just said eff it and put it in my name, if it was any other car I deffinatly wouldn't have risked my credit. So just under $12k later we added another Nissan to the family. I think I'm more excited than her I've allready started thinking about what I'm gonna do to it and its not really mine. So yes I firmly believe that I will stay with Nissan unless I become rich and even then I'd just get a GTR.

 

yes

 

My first car was a 96 5spd. I bought it in april of 03 for $3800 w/ 117k on the clock. I loved that car to death. Then when I went off to college, I had to 'sell' it to my younger brother b/c my parents wouldn't let me have a car in college for my first two years. It now has 160k on it. Then spring semester of my sophomore year, I was looking for another one. Then I found my 01 AE 5spd w/ 68k on it. I've been driving it ever since.
Although, I will say that I don't think I'll own another maxima, or possibly even a nissan. Once I graduate, I'm going to get a 4cyl car as my dd, as I will probably be doing a lot of driving. I'll keep my AE though, it's been just as good of a car as my 96 is.

 

I love my Maxima (my second), but I doubt I'll own one forever. 5th and 6th gens don't do much for me looks wise, and the 7th gen being auto-only means I won't be buying that one either. And after owning my 4th gen for about 4 1/2 years, I guess I'm just ready for a change.

My girlfriend has taken over the Max for daily-driving duties, and I'm looking at either a G35 or BMW 5-series for a new DD.

 

i have an 07 se. and i love it. this is my third maxima. my first car was a 99 se and 2nd car was a fully loaded 96. this 07 i have is my first brand new car so im planinng on keeping it for awhile but when im thru making payments ill see where my car stands as in if ive customized it as much as i want or can afford. i have limo tint all around for now wanna eveutually get some new shoes for my maxi but after im done paying this one off i wanna possibly get a g35 coupe maybe lol

 

I'll be moving on to either a 3-series or a G37 in a couple years, depending on whether or not either of them is completely butchered by then....

I absolutely love my maxima, but I know there are much better cars out there...

 

i couldn't agree more +10.................. a bar of soap he said??? WTF?

 

I love maximas, ive owed 6 of them total..

I used to say ill always buy maximas hahaha


Now i own a g35 now and i love, but paying for it kinda sucks, my max was paid of and just as fast.

but RWD is so much fun !

 

your maxima was just as fast with or without the mods you had?

 

Sigh, I'll never sell my 5-spd '95 GXE. Too much blood sweat and tears. Of course if I ever have enough money, I wouldn't say no to the R8 either...I just won't get rid of the max.

It's my daily driver, my first car, and there would be no point in selling it if it still gives me pleasure, it's not worth much with 160,000, but viscerally it's priceless to me.

 

I guess it depends on how many low mileage 6 speed 5.5 gen Maximas that are out there when it is time to replace my current '02 Maxima.

Otherwise I would probably go with a 6 speed VQ35 Altima coupe or *gasp* an '08 Cobalt SS. Don't laugh, it embarrasses cars that cost 3 times as much on road courses and ran a 13.9 @ 104 in Road and Track.

 

ive been with nissan all my cars

91 maxima
95 altima
95 maxima
96 maxima
99 maxima
2001 maxima
and a 2005 g35

 

the 08s must be considerably faster than previous generations, cause my friend has a 5 speed 4th gen with i/y/e, and he rapes SS cobalts consistently

 

The '07 and older have a supercharged 205 hp engine, the new ones have a 260 hp turbocharged engine. 70 mph through Motor Trend's slalom, .92gs on the skidpad. In the new issue of Road and Track, it had a better lap time around VIR (Virginia International Raceway) than the new EVO, WRX, Lexus IS-F, Audi S5, G37, Challenger SRT8, Honda S2000 and Lotus Elise SC. The cheapest car that finished ahead of it was the Corvette. All for $23,000 pretty much loaded. Too bad it doesn't look all that great while the Altima coupe is sex on wheels.

 

nissan FTW

FOR life!!!!

BUT I want an m3 one day....

 

Im on my second 2nd gen maxima and dont know why i keep buying them maybe its the classy box look I dont know

 

i probably won't always own a max but i will always remember her when she is gone

 

Lets put it this way... I will always own a Nissan:

86 Maxima (RIP)

06 Altima (current, modded)

07 Armada (current, mods coming soon)

I am looking at getting a 06 Maxima....gotta re-enlist first....

 

i will only own a maxima until I can get a good condition used bmw(need to get my masters or PhD first)

 

I plan to always have a Nissan in the family one way or another.

 

no................



i am on my second car after my maxima was totalled............both are not maximas...

 

Highly unlikely I will own another Maxima. I always like variety, I really like a lot of cars and appreciate them for what they are. I am not really brand loyal to anything, there are plenty of cars from just about every automaker I love, Asian, American, or European.

I absolutely love my Maxima, in fact I would like to always keep it as long as reasonably possible, but I probably wouldn't buy another one.

I have owned quite a few vehicles, ranging from a 1989 B12 Sentra Sport Coupe 1.6, to a 1989 VW Golf 1.8 to a 1996 Ford Taurus LX and have loved each and every single one of them, but I must say there are two cars I have absolutely loved and always wanted to own.

1.) A fully loaded 4.5gen Maxima, which I just bought less than a year ago finally and I absolutely love my baby. It will be a sad day when I have to get rid of this car I love it so much.

2.) A B6 Audi S4.

There are a lot of cars I have liked and my tastes change, but for years and years I dreamt about owning the Maxima, and since 2004 when it came out, I have dreamt about owning the Audi S4 as well, so I must say, in 4 years or so, that will probably be my next car.

 

I probably alway own a Maxima. I love my AE! I would probably get another Sterling Mist 01 SE 5spd and mod the hell outta it! Although the infiniti M is nice!

 

I agree with you on that one, I really wouldn't mind an M45 Sport either. Automatic only is a turnoff for me though. Other than that, it is an amazing car.

 

Agree with you man. I have 98 GXE and plan to keep it. Want to get second car, which will be 02/03 Maxima or a BMW. After fifth generation Maximas are ugly and way pricey.

 

Man I'm new. Well sorta. I joined and never really started using my account until very very recently. I must apologize for not logging in and meeting other max owners. I love my Maxima. By the way it's a 97 GLE pearl white, bought in 02 with 60k. 100k later, the max is still running like a CHAMP!! I should probably post pics too. The only reason I own a GLE is because the 97 Forest Green SE I bought in 2000 was totaled to smithereens. That sucked but this one made me happy. I have been looking at 5th gens. I like them a lot but I don't like the 6th or 7th. They're something that doesn't sit well with me about those two. Anyway if I get another max, it won't involve me getting rid of my 4th gen. I'll just pay more insurance!!!!

 

Oh sorry, They're meant to say there is.

 

i love my max...but there are other cars i would love to try...

 

No unfortunately. Had a 2000 SE, and a 1995 GXE. The '95 was the best car I have ever owned, however I can't say the same for the '00, which may have been the worse.

Currently have a 2008 G35xs. I like that the '09 maxima's have 290hp, but I don't want another fwd car.

 

I can't imagine someone driving away with my max. When I can, I know it will be time to part ways. Can't see that happening until I have something like an all electric or hybrid R8 or 911 sitting in my driveway.
