well folks i did the unthinkable and traded in the hot hatch speed 3 for a bit more comfortable,fully loaded sport sedan. no regrets, no looking back =]

the bill T_T!

 

[oaklandopen]

i'll bet it's uuber smooth all over

any additional options you left out, or is that thing loaded?

 

[strytnyne]

lol its loaded as far as package wise , u cant have premium and sport tech at the same time

but i dont need panoramic sunroof or rear audio controls =p.. but it is really smooth and comfy, even more spacious then the 3

 

[MSP300]

nice car man, definitely more luxuries than speed3
how much did they give you for your speed3 when you trade it in?

 

[79535]

I don't see a car.

 

[BillTheCat]

Holy crap. I did not know you could spec out a Maxima to $40k. I hope it's worth every penny, man. I know they offer a comfy ride with some good power.

 

[spdjnke]

I too have contemplated for sometime to trade the speed in for a Maxima, but just can't justify the money.... Sweet ride, happy for your purchase.

 

[Saskatchewan17]

Nice car, I've always liked the Maxima. No way I'd trade my speed in for one but nevertheless it is a nice ride.

 

[horNNEE]

congrats, hope you enjoy it man.

 

[LaraS]

Wow, congrats. I never thought I'd see this though.. haha.

Did you trade in the car with all the aftermarket parts on it, or stock out first?

 

[Jon MS3]

good choice; i had a 98 maxima se. great build quality and ride. (and holy options!)

 

[MM BOOST]

Good choice bro. I sold Nissan for a few months last year, and I sold a few of these, I was SOOOO impressed with them. They are beautiful, comfortable, uber quick, and just super classy. Definitely an upgrade. Now, coils and nice rims

 

[ms6acton]

very nice !!

 

[jamesk]

It seems like those buttons inside the dash like that is hard to see while driving. Make sure your not paying attention rather than the road.

 

[Tungsten6]

awwwwwwwwwww your speed was sooo nice...
oh well i like the new car man and had no clue you could price up a maxima that high lol.

interior looks very comfortable though

 

[Jon MS3]

the stock 19s look great and heck, they fit 245 rubber. id keep em

 

[mrcardio79]

Neat but I wouldn't consider that a "sports car" anymore or less than a MS3 plus its still FWD Could've had a far superior performing G37 sedan or even a 335i but whatever floats your boat.

Congrats!

 

[Mistersix]

slick looking car. congrats on the upscale. those stock wheels look pretty decent too.

so, tell us, which feels faster. the ms3 or your shiny new maxima?

 

[Saskatchewan17]

I'm pretty sure the MS3 pulls harder than the Max. Especially from a roll and up to highway speeds, and especailly x2 with some mods. The Maxima has a pretty decent powerplant, but is HEAVY compared to the MS3.

but... I'd still like to know how it feels to drive. A big, cushy, slushbox sedan that can edge out a good amount of cars on the road has to be a bit of a laugh. Also, is there really an aftermarket support for those things (the new gen) beyond the usual VIP style and other visual accesories? Have fun with the ride man.

 

[strytnyne]

well thing is i bought the maxima to get away from the whole modding scene. just for a comfortable ride, while not being a total slug on the road.
its quick not as quick as the speed 3, totally different feel. the 3 was raw and crazy the maxima is refined and smooth.
