Maxima or Altima

I am looking to buy a car soon and I was wondering which car is better, performance wise, maxima or altima?

in my opinion, the altima is the looker and better performer straight line and cornering. but the interior on the max is nice~~~~!!! sit in both cars, feel the paint job, touch the leather, and look underneth the car. the max is better in every quality department. they even got thin layer of plasticy rubber underneith the car soo that i wodln't rust as easily.

Maxima is suppose to be better than Altima. If it wasn't then Nissan have some serious problem.

However if I had to pick between the two I would still pick Altima.

Which one of these two is faster....1/4 on the max is 14.2....i need something safe with ABS that is around -24k

Max is around 24 at the price I can get it
and the 3.5 se altima is 21k......so any ideas would help


is either that or a HONDUH accord 4 banger with a 5 speed

now thats a easy choice. hmmmmmmmmm you can either get either cars that are bigger, faster, has two more cylinders, and looks better (IMO) vs. a economy car, thats sohc. definitly any of the first choices. get either one, they're both good.

DUH i am saying which should I get a max or altima

The Maxima is more refined then the Altima. When we were in the market for a car a few months ago, we eliminated the Altima since the maxima "felt" better. We ended up with the Accord since it felt even more solid and was a few K cheaper. We got it as the grocery getter so that bit of performance advantage of the Nissan was not all that important.

Yeah its a nice car, my friend had one and then got his S2000...he likes that more I guess =P jk....but he had one and it was a nice car

Maxima is better, but I dont know how to start a poll to see what everyone thinks =)

i think you know how i feel about maximas:D

anyway, there's an option at the bottom of the page when you create a post that asks you if you want to create a poll. make sure you fill in the subject and message fields before you click submit then put a check in the box where it asks you if you want to create a poll and click submit, it'll take you to another page where you can create the poll. click the submit at the bottom after you've entered the poll question and options and you have your poll. if you're having trouble, PM a moderator or myself.

back to the subject, for the looks department, the altima. for everything else, i'd choose the maxima.

For me its a no win situation, I like both of them about the same,

sometimes I think I like the Maxima better and then some days the

Altima. ahhhhh, why Nissan had to do this......:rolleyes:

:flash: :D :D

lol.....well there was that lovely cost issue for me

Yea, that is a good point. :)

TODAY was crazy, I pulled out in front of traffic on a hill at school

So I was like Shizzits, and I floor it and I smoked my wheels and it redlined at 7000RPM then it went down to like 5000RPM and I went to second and the wheels spun a little more, It was all uphill, but it was totally on accident. I was like damn it, my friend was like so suprised my car was fast.....he was like wholy sh*t

just thought you might like the "look at me beat teh Sh*t out of my nissan" story there Joe

btw how old are you?

I just turned 27, how old are you?

What does btw mean? Interesting story yea.:D

I turned 18 in december.....BTW by the way

I hit 1000 miles today.....that means in less then 3 weeks I did it =)

I dont even floor it now....I like drive easy on it, I guess because it goes good. And I got my oil changed today :D

cool.
:) Where do you get your oil changed at?

I got it done at Nissan b/c the first one was free. But usually my dads friend does he cuz he owns a shop

Cool, how much are oil changes there in Cali?:)

i think it was about $18

about the same as here.

do you do it yourself or you pay someone?

I usually pay 13 to 20 dollars when i get my oil changed.

I never have time to change it myself.:smoker:

everyone thinks my car is a v6 so they try to drive fast around me, its very fkn annoying....they dont race, but they do like 60mph cut me off and act like its ok cuz i have 240 hp....some people are such dumb fucks. then on top of it the jerks mad dog me at the light as if its my fault my car is nicer then their pos

There are alot of dumb people on the road.

:rolleyes: Dont let em get to ya, there are just pissed cause of

what they are drivin.:D

hehee.....yeah I guess

Got a question for ya, have you seen the new Cadillac CTS?

If so, do you like it ? Ive looked at one yesterday and I thought

it was kinda neat lookin, they sure do look different.:)

Sorry, havent seen any on the road.


My ass whoopings are as stand

V6 Altima (laughed at me)
Audi S4
GSR

I beat a civic dx as so did my sisters power wheel

Thats not very good.:smoker2:

I know.....

Its not as fast as your Maxima was is it?

Hows come you didnt keep the Maxima and not get the Altima?

Where you tired of the Maxima and just wanted a new car?:huh: :)

No....crashed the maxima.....got it fixed, drove like shit.....it had 105k on it and just like starting to go....so we decided for a new car. the guy that owned it b4 us took shit care of it, but we bought it from a dealership and it had been repainted and we didnt know.....so it was like lookin good, and then we realized it was a POS. So got 7200 from it from the dealership. we Paid about 13k for it.....drove it for 2 years and put 20k on it.....i guess we lost but whatever......

Altima is faster then the maxima. It was a auto97

I kind of regret not getting a v6 now, but I got my windows tinted today and it looks DAMN GOOOD Ill get some pics up whne I get a chance.

I think I am gonna go for rims now, it should be lookin sweet then :D

Your Maxima must of had some rough treatment. After we wrecked

our 96 Maxima it was never right. Then it got totalled about a year ago.:( :)

well jbl you cna't really regret not gettin the v6. cuse you had no choice. and if you did and you choose the 2.5 s then shame on you~

well....i didnt think about it until my dads friend laughed at me for getting it, he is like your dumb ass your dad is loaded, he could afford the extra 100 bucks a month. and I was like we could have? and he just didnt say anything.....so there was nothing I could do and there is nothing I can do now.

I am going to Greddy on Tuesday to see if they can use my car to custom Fabricate a prototype turbo for my car =)
