this is my first max.What was your thoughs on this family sedan? i though slow boy was i wrong.lol

 

my 3rd gen is my first, theyre awesome cars but theyre hard to come by here. rarely will i see a 1st or 2nd gen, and 3rd gens are hard to find but young people now want them and of course all the older people who cant drive anymore send theirs to the junkyard so theres very few left. ive gotten many compliments and most of the time when i get gas or stop somewhere someone asks me about it (plus the guy who followed me home wanting to buy it on the spot)

IMO Nissan would have been smarter to make 2nd and 3rd gens RWD and 4th-7th gens RWD with the option of AWD, but i dont really need a drift car right now, understeer isnt a huge issue for me, plus i'm fine with building a FWD car to 300-350hp so i dont know why everyone has to b1tch about FWD

 

this is my first max.. but i dont think its my last.. its been good to me. i think wen nissan makes a maxima coupe dats da day u gonna see more maximas then ever.. eventhough u see dem everywhere now lolz

 

my first Max and first import, love it. I dont think I will ever own an american sedan ever again

 

someone did sketch a 3rd gen 2dr concept, looks sick. i would kill for one

 

I've recently purchased my first maxima, an 04. So many great things to say about this car. it grabs alot of looks.

 

my 1st maxima was a 2000 5th g, great car all around

 

on my third 4th gen and will always own at least one maxima. great cars. maintain them and they will run forever

 

my first Max was a 95 SE now i own a 3rd gen 89 SE and another 95 but a GXE lol my 89 SE has 310k my 95 GXE has 170k

 

My 4th gen is my first car, have had it for a little over 3 years now. It'll probably be my last Maxima though, I couldn't see myself coughing up $35k for a FWD boat that doesn't come with an option for a manual.

I love my 4th gen though, hope to keep it until it rots out from underneath me.

 

This is our 3rd Max. My first was an '87 (my favorite)with a 5 spd and adjustable struts. Second one (02 SE Merlot) the wife bought, nice car till it was sandwiched. Third one, I bought Nov of '08, sterling mist '01 5 spd. What a large pile of ****. I've owned a total of 14 Nissans so far, this one is by far the biggest mistake.

As far as Nissan building a 2 door, it'll never happen. They wouldn't sell that many to justify building one. They have a coupe Altima with an available 3.5, it's not that hot of a seller.

 

I'm on 4th gen number 7.

 

my first was a 2000, the only reason i bought it was because i had a civic coupe and i got tired of taking a car seat in and out of it, but it was a good deal and i really like that its a sedan and a 5sp

 

This is max #2, and my fave so far. First one was a lovely 5th gen, but I did most of my driving back then durin dawn/dusk lighting, the gauges were unreadable.

 

2nd maxima for me.. first one was 02 SE Auto, now 02 GLE Auto

 

2nd Max had a 99SE now I have a 05. I love my car however it seems that the 99 was built better. Had other nissans also.

 

2nd 4th gen. 1st one was also a 96 SE 5 speed

 

im on my 3rd

 

I have two, a 99 GLE and a 04 SE, ill prolly move up to and infiniti though next time, not a huge fan of the 7th gen.

 

On my second 3rd gen. Looking to get another 3rd gen, or possibly a 4th gen.

 

on my second max currently. first was a pebble beige 96, now the white 99

 

1993 GXE - 09-17-2005 still own it
1995 GXE - 06-21-2008 still own it
1997 SE -01-14-2009 almost street ready

I don't believe in owning anything else unless its THE shiznit

 

4TH gen 9 cars, 5th gen only 1, and one I30 touring that I Supercharged with a T trim. I currently have a 99 no title. Azz does not want to get me the title.

 

3rd generation was my first but am looking at trading in on a late 2009 or current 2010. Does anyone know what or if there are any significant differences between the 09 and 10? Thanks

 

The 1996 GLE was my first maxima I bought in 1998. I din't do any mods until 2003 once it was payed for. Now, I also have a 2010 SVP with just a couple of mods here and there.

 

2008 Max was my first one. I traded it in for an 08 Trailblazer and missed the Max too much. So after a year I got an 2009 Max. I don't plan on leaving this baby anytime soon!!!

 

Just acouple of options, one being bluetooth, became standard. There are no significant changes.

 

what would have been the point of all the Zs and Infinitis then? maxima has always been a predominately NE FWD seller.

 

On my 2nd 97, both black on black leather, this one is 5-speed though.

 

All of the following were bought used for one reason or another:

#1 - '87 GXE in '88, `retired' in '95, ~90k miles, accident

#2 - '94 GXE in '95, 'retired' in '96, storm damage

#3 - '95 GLE in '96, traded on '04 SE in '05, ~90k miles

#4 - '97 SE GLE in '99, traded on '02 GLE in '03

#5 - '02 GLE (~65k miles)

#6 - '04 SE (~71k miles)

 

I have had two, I love MAXIMA'S TO DEATH

 

I have the 2001 SE 20th Anniversary Edition and love it!!

Thinking about a new Maxima soon but have heard horror stories about the 2004 tranny. I'm not sure what the problem was (since Nissan did not admit there was a problem) - will continue to research until I'm comfortable "problem" did not extend to later model years.

 

this is my 1st maxima, 96 auto. and i'm loving it.
but is not my first nissan. sep 08-nov 09 1991 300zx and from jan 09-mar 2010 a 1989 240sx coupe.

considering i'm 21, a lot of nissans lol

 

yeah ive seen enough of the "stuck in 5th gear" threads in the 6th gen section to make me not want one

but then again i dont like anything but 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gens

 

first one and i love her

 

1st Maxima (see signature), however the list of Nissan/Infinity cars I've owned is longer... 79 280zx 2+2, 83 280zx(custom TT), 87 Sentra (1.6), and 98 Infiniti G20 (SR20DE, 5sp)
Given the chance, I'd buy another Nissan, and yeah Maxima is very high on the list of which one I'd want.

 

On my third Maxima and Fourth Nissan and my dream car actually I love 5.5Gens

I had
97 GLE
96 GXE 5spd
02 SE 6spd

 

My 5th gen, driven my dad's 4th gen

 

My first one was a 95 SE 5sp i bought it back in 06 i had it for about a year now i own 2 95 GLEs im not fond of the Auto trans but i still love the car itself

 

6th maxima.

5.56mt and 92dohc5mt being my two favorite maximas i'v ever owned. those > any other generation of maxima
