What is your favorite feature on your car?

When I bought my Max, the heated seats and sunroof totally sold me on it. I was wondering what is other peoples favorite feature? I like the roll-down windows with the remote also.

the best thing i like about my max is everytime someone rides with me in it i get the "holy **** this car is mint" or the "this car is smooth and quick as hell", commments.

The way i am is i think my car is sick and still in perfect condition, and then when i see everybody else's cars on this site i just wonder what it would be like to ride in theirs because i've never rode in another max b4. I just wanna compare mine to others. Sorry for the length. -Jeff-

I like how well my car handles. Coming off of driving two trucks, it is a much better cornering, although I do miss being able to go offroading, and not having to slow down for speed bumps.

Yeah, the one touch down on the windows with the remote is cool. I like freaking people out in parking lots who walk too close to my car. They invariably stop and look at the car like it's possessed. Rolling them up is cool, too.
I like the "refinement" my car has maintained, even though it is 8 years old ('97). Much more refined than my neighbor's '04 Saturn or my brother-in-laws '04 Impala. GM seems to be really slipping on "fit and finish" as well as material choices. Not that '97 Maximas have the highest quality materials, but they are higher quality than a lot of comparably priced cars out there. And everything still fits, feels, and works like new. My only interior problem is the color came off the passenger airbag in spots, and exterior, there are a few minor chips on the front end.
People bust on the Bose system, but I think it is very refined. I hear highs on it I don't even hear on my home theater system. Only thing I'd change with it is possibly add a little more power, talking maybe another 100 watts or so (I don't like thumping). Oh, I do have damaged hearing from Desert Storm so I'm probably not the best to comment on stereo systems.... Take these comments for what they're worth.

well, since I don't have the roll down/up windows feature, or the sunroof or the heated seats ( ), I think I may have to go with the engine?

I love the fact that the car is 8 years old and I've hardly spent a dime on her to fix crap that has gone wrong. Other that regular maintenance stuff. My bro has a 2001 malibu with 60,000 miles and he's had to replace the abs sensor, the water pump, heater core and one other thing. Thank you nissan for building QUALITY. My car is a 97 with 120000 miles.

Heated Seats

Last night, with the wind chill, it was -30 C (-22 Fahrenheit), so my favorite feature, for the moment, is heated seats.

I personally like how the car looks from the outside. Roomy and it has a sporty look. The engine is reliable to begin with. I kind of wish I have the heated seats too. The winter weather is killing my rear. The roll-down window is an extra bonus I enjoy.

No, Nissan didn't make the windows roll-up to begin with. You need to install a module to have the roll-up feature.

When I first got the car, the interior is what got me, it was ALL BLACK and leather it looked so good, then I looked down and saw that manual shifter, I was in love, Amazing power for a family sedan, that can take out most lightly modded cars from the same year.

On a quest now to restore that feeling again . . . ( damn deer )

I like the 6,5,4.

6 cylinder engine with a
5 speed transmission and
4 doors

When I was car shopping, this is what sold me. The Accord 4 door V-6 only came in auto as did the Camry. So the choice was easy, Maxima. Great car, very happy with it.
