My 04 manual SE is my second (had a 2000 manual SE) Maxima.

Briefly:
Looks : love it ; 10X better than the 2000
Handling: 75% of the 2000, skips in high speed tight turns where the 2000 didn't.
Delivery : sucks compared to the 2000 which had zero quality issues. The dealer told me they're assembled in the USA now, which would explain the problems I've had (rattles etc).
Comfort: a little tight to get into driver's seat (5'10", 200 lbs)
Interior : scren and joystick? Give me a break! It woulda cost a few $100 more to put in a colour screen (you can't buy or find monochrome screens anymore, but Nissan had the wonderful idea of having them mass produced apparently...sheesh)

Thank you kindly.
