MotorTrend-2002 Altima Se Auto Test
New Motor Trend tested the altima Se with auto , they got 0-60 in 6.6 seconds and a quarter mile time of 14.99.
This proves that Sport Compact car sucks, and that max's with 6 speeds are very capable of 13's.
FAST AS HELL!!!!

We Maxima owners paid good money for a good car. It's painful to think that a lesser car (i.e. an Altima) might be nearly or as fast in the 0-60 (though I'd think the Max would have longer legs on the 1/4 mile).
The reality is the new Altima is a great car... basically a de-tuned VQ engine on a newer (debateably better) suspension. Nissan had to detune the Altima to be able to position the Maxima as a significant step up while they are presumably working on a greater Maxima (V8?)
I don't know about biases of car magazines, but I tend to believe Edmunds, who says the 0-60s of the 2002 Altima and Maxima are pretty darned close.
Does this mean I favor the Altima? Nah...I still like the looks of the Maxima better...but my next car will be a 6spd G35 coupe.

Altima might be just as fast as a Maxima, but the interior of the Altima is poop. That's all I have to say. Altima is a beautiful car on the outside, but the interior doesn't look right. I guess if you add some wood-trim it might look a little good, but "blah".
