Which one would be better?

I am thinking of buying either a Max 01, 02, or an Acura RSX. Which one would you consider, or prefer? :confused:

Why r u even wondering?! Go with the max all the way. Trust me you will not regret it. Lakers won a few minutes ago!!!Dynasty!!! The max will change your life. if still in doubt test drive both, see which one fits you.

True true.....its just the RSX is smaller... 2door..but then I saw this Black Max 02 w/thee works. I am kinda considering the MAX.:)

go with the max, they r the best, plus they will last forever if taken care of like it should be

Wazzup, It depends on what you want. First off, for insurance the max will be cheaper, four door blah blah. In essence the RSX is faster, and probably easier to modify, because its a Honda engine. Also depending on what you need, the RSX handles better and the such but the maxima is a bigger car (so u can keep it even after you get a family) (family Sedan ;)

Im 16 so ill go with the RSX... :smoker2:

O1 vrs 02....ummmmm. get the 02... 255 vrs 222... I have driven (owens slash delt with_both), 02 is the way 2 go!-

Do you consider the Max to be a Family Car?

family car? Hell no! im 17 and personally i was in love with the maximas ever before i ever got one. i always dremt of having one when i was old enough to drive. its an interesting story of how i got my first maxima. since i knew iwasn't gonna be able to afford a maxima, i had already made up my mind that i was gonna get a honda, an accord or civic, it didnt matter to me. so anyways i went to an auction looking for one, and after like an hour, i found a 3rd generation maxima, a 92 Maxima SE, and got it for 2900 bucks. it had 127000 miles on it and was in excellent condition. I was simply amazed by it, how fast it went, ow it handled, i just loved it. But now that i have a better job, i traded it in for a 98 maxima se, which needless to say is even more amazing. well anyways themaxima is a four-door sports car!

Im 16 so ill go with the RSX... :smoker2: Are you effin nutz.......a 2002 Max owns the RSX;lets see 255hpV6 vs. 160hp(slushbox) or 200(type-s) you do the math junior plus its just as easy to modify a Max as it is a RSX granted there is limited aftermarket support but its there you just have to know where to look. Last time I checked stock '02 Max(6-speed) runs 14.2 and the RSX type-s runs 15.0. Do your homework.

:spit:

The RSX is a chic car. And as with all honDUH's (excluding CL/TL-S) has no torque.

The 02 Maxima is by far the most musclular.

Now dumbass lets go through some other "stats"
Mr. Idiot here we go, New Maxima 2002 costs $26000 (probably more)
Mr. Idiot here we go, The RSX is a four cylinder (shove torque in your ass)
Mr. Idiot here we go, Yes the Maxima is faster by .8, but also take that 4 thousand dollars you save. Shove a intake, headers, exhaust, Pulleys and other various mods to make it fast enough to take your maxima attach a pink ribbon to its ass, and launch it to YOUR-ANUS.
Mr. Idiot here we go, also take it to the track and see what handles better
Mr. Idiot here we go, what would you rather have, a buick lesabre, that you see 60 year old grandmas driving, or say a integra Type- R that you see only teens driving. Same case with the Maxima, i repect the engine, and i respect the speed, but a 4 door is a 4 door is a 4 door.:flipa:

bye bye,

Mr. Idiot:flipa: Junior you really show your lack of know ledge on this board if you are going to post ignorant sh!t then just go to off-topic.net where the rest of the a$$holes go, look I am 24yo and have vast experience with these nissans and hondas if you stick around I will school you, you are 16yo and are probably into altezzes on a hatchback with the loud 10" fart can exhaust type of sh!t, you don't know d!ck about cars so go and play with your torque-less 4cylinder piece of shit.

$26000....I don't think so, fully loaded one can be had for $22-23000 in NYC

Hey Dickhead, it takes more than just exhaust,intake and some headers to grow some ballz on the RSX, if you have done your home on RSX and have worked with them hand on then you will know what I am talking about. I have nothing against the RSX, it has excellent mod potential if you are really serious about things.

Why don't you go to Maxima.org and tell me if you see any old ladys driving Maximas, your really have a lot to learn junior, btw don't forget to tell mommy to spring some cash for those type-r badges that you want to buy along with the double-decker wing and the combat kit you little bish :finger4:

The RSX is a chick car. I agree w/u just like the Celica, Jetta,Mustang etc. etc. etc. I really do not want that. I really really think I might consider the Max. :)

I have to disagree with you as far as the RSX being a faster car than the MAX. The 2002 Max has 255hp unlike the RSX it has 160hp(automatic).

Why don't you just go buy a nice 96 Beemer M3 with the same money??
Just curious :)
Will look way better and outhandle and oupower both of those put together. Go flame me for this one I dare you!

Well depends on what you are looking for. The max and rsx are close in performance bery closei think the max is a little faster though. I have a new sentra spec v and I raced a rsx type s and beat it by a car length. And i hear a maxima is as fast as my car. So if performance you look for id same maxima

I believe the RSX-S comes with 180HP and a 6-speed manual. But as far as torque its got like a puny 140pound-feet. The Maxima has over 100lb.-ft more, and 75HP more than the RSX-S. The light weight of the RSX STILL wont come close to make up that huge power disadvantage.

Honestly, If there was no Nissan/infiniti (Maxima, VQ engine) I would probubly go domestic. Nissan seems to be the only Japanese car maker TODAY that makes torquey engines like the domestics- except with much better quality.

There is no replacement for displacement. That's why all the 5.7 V8 camaro's and 4.6L mustang GT's have fierce torque. For equal example, the Honda S2000 makes an impressive 240HP out of a small 4cyl. engine. But torque? 150lf.-ft. You have to revv that car to hell and back to get it to move..not MY idea of fun.

IMHO the VQ engine is the best Japenese V6 today by far. Mix that with the Maxima vs. RSX-S and you got squashed rice.

Spec-V's are cool but 6-speed vs. 6-speed Max and the max will destroy it. The auto will take it out easily too. 6spd Max's do 0-60 in the very low 6's, and auto's in mid-high 6's.

I'm not tryin to flame, just stating the facts, becuase I like the spec-V's! They are torquey little bastards who eat civics for breakfast.

Btw on the last two posts you made......I could not have said it better myself.

-School Is In Session(you know who you are!!!!!!)

Zane11:
The 2k2 Max and the RSX-s are very far apart performance wise my friend I think you are trying to refer to the Se-R Pec V. The 2k2 is in a whole other league.

D-Empress:
Mustangs are not chick cars, the rest of the ones that you mentioned are on point :)

Nulldreamer:
I agree but I like 98 M3's better.

Yeh i no those new maximas are monsters. I'd definitly take that, i use to have a 99 beofre i got my spec v. Those 2 were very close but the new ones are faster im not saying that aren't.

The spec v and maxima are both faster than the rsx.

I did not no that the 2k2 maxima auto was faster than a spec v i thought they were close

:cool:

The mustang V6's are chick cars in my opinion. They are slow (with the exception of the 2000+ V6 5spd stang, it has SOME balls, 0-60 in 7) and come with a wimpy exhaust, those UGLY thin 15's, and a fake hood scoop.

Now on the OTHER hand, the V8 mustang can kick ass! 2000+ Mustang GT's are sweet and fast, and the Cobra's make me drool. Even the '95+ GT's can be cool with the right mods, and as always the cobra's sound beautiful.

Oops my mistake, I mean the Mustang V6. I think that one is a chick car. :) I agree with Craig Mack.

Thank you guys for your input, I really appreciate it. :)

Thank you so much!! I really appreciate it. :)

Well, junior....I think you better start doing your homework too. In New York, if you think you can spend $22-23,000 for a fully loaded Maxima, you better stick with an RSX. According to KelleyBlueBook, as well as Edmunds, NADA, if you want a fully loaded 2002-03 Maxima SE w/ 6-speed, here are the prices:



Invoice MSRP TMV®
Regional Base Price $23,051 $25,649 $25,565
Color Adjustment - - $48
Optional Equipment $0 $6,589 $6,570
Destination Charge $540 $ 540 $540

Total $23,591 $32,778 $32,723


Stop dreaming about buying a new car with the Invoice price. It will never happen. One more thing....looks like your number 24 sure tells alot about you....you used slang terms in your short paragraph far more frequent than any wannabes here in Brooklyn? It only proves one thing: you're just as worst as any 16 years old kid out there!

man you can get a car at invoice... or real close... just walk up to the dealership w/ the invoice for the car you want, and say add 100 bucks it will work, and the invoices are "padded" and is not the same as dealer cost

I have a 1995 maxima se 5sp. I raced an acura RSX. i had my climate control on and my widows were cracked and i blew this cars doors off. Few 4 cylinders can beat a 6 cylinder

imports:

walk with me bitch.......
Maximas can be bought for $23000, do your research and go to the dealerships

walk with me bitch......
don't waste my time precious, I am not here to argue with so called internet thugs such as yourself who feel like they have to offend someone by pointing out that they used slang terms and such, junior....we are not here for a language arts class its not that serious.find something more productive to contribute to this board instead of just wasting bandwith.




-save it for someone else bitch

WHY DONT YOU ASK IMPORTS IF THEY KNOW ME? GO AHEAD BODY IN A TRUNK. IT IS SOOO UNBELIEVABLE HOW YOU ARE!!!

damn I though this was the maxima forum... not the litttle kids in a pissing contest forum... oh well....

I'm not trying to insult anybody on here, especially you. I'm only trying to make a point that you cannot buy a new fully loaded 2002-03 Maxima for $23K from the dealer. It doesn't matter where you live in the US, but you cannot buy it at that price...unless you're talking about a used and high-mileage one or an Altima. If you can buy a new fully loaded Maxima for $23K, I'll be the first to buy it before you do. Even with an employee discount, $23K isn't enough. So do your own homework before you start swearing here and there for no good reason. You're 24 years old....please grow up!


In case you're wondering how do I know this.....I used to work for Wilde Nissan as a sales representative.

What model did you brother-in-law get? A GXE, SE, or GLE? also, was it fully loaded.....as in leather interior, seat warmers, moonroof, HID lights, 17" rims, etc....? If he got it fully loaded for $24,5K, let me know where he got it and I'll get one for myself too.

I work for a nissan dealer and purchased a fully loaded SE, came w/ everying but the navigation and side airbags (2002) I paid cost pluse 3% holdback, and a 500 dollor rebate, I still paid a little over 27 for a car w/ a 30 thousand dollar sticker, now if you think your getting a fully loaded model for 23? you smoking some good dope, the gxe (base base base model) goes for that price and they are hard to find because nissan's only currently poduces the gxe at 10% of the production line to keep it from competeing to heavely w/ the new altima... so keep on chiefin up fatty there buddy!

Is that the only reason that you are on this board, to insult people and to be sarcastic?Please try to be a little bit more open-minded.




Maybe he got it for that price because he knows the manager who also happens to be the son-in-law to the owner himself of the Koeppel dealerships.

Anything is possible.

I'm I'm stating that you smoke dope if you know you can get a loaded max for 23k, it's really simple.... and if your smoking dope i guess that makes you open minded?
-J
PS keep on smokin fatty maybe santa will bring ya a fully loaded max for 23k!

WHAT IS EVERYONES EFFIN PROBLEM?

J......you really need to think about whether or not you should even be on this board because you are useless and make no contributions to help this 'Maxima' community. You think by you working in a dealership you know it all.....you are sadly mistaken.What else can it be, maybe its penis envy that you have.I just think you are mad at the fact that my brother-in-law got his 2k2 for $24,5-25 and I can most likely get one too for that price.Tell me something, is it really that impossible?Where is all this $23k bullshit coming from?I did not state that the other guy did.Look tough guy get off your soap box and help some these members out instead of being a sarcastic fool behind a computer.

why don't you guys just end this thread. You stopped making any progress like 5 days ago and i keep getting these emails saying there is an update to a thread when there ain't.
